NZD/USD Price Forecast: Rises above 0.5750 toward nine-day EMA

  • NZD/USD could find initial support at the four-month low of 0.5698.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains near the 40 level, indicating continued bearish momentum.
  • Primary resistance stands at the nine-day EMA of 0.5780.

NZD/USD extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 0.5760 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart signals an ongoing bearish bias as the pair remains within a descending channel pattern.

The NZD/USD pair maintains a bearish near-term bias as spot holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which cap recovery attempts around the mid-0.58s to low-0.59s.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near 40, confirming persistent downside momentum rather than oversold exhaustion and aligning with the recent sequence of lower highs and lower closes.

The NZD/USD pair could find initial support at the four-month low of 0.5698, recorded on March 31, with additional downside support located near the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5650. A sustained move below this level may expose the pair to further losses toward the region of the 11-month low near 0.5580, which was last seen in November 2025.

On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA near 0.5780. This is followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around 0.5830, along with the medium-term moving average at 0.5867. A decisive break above this confluence resistance zone would shift the bias toward the upside and potentially open the door for a move toward the monthly high of 0.5996, recorded on March 2.

AUD/USD bounces off weekly low on Israel-Lebanon ceasefire

AUD/USD recovers slightly from the weekly low during the Asian session on Thursday as a new Israel-Lebanon ceasefire keeps a lid on the safe-haven US Dollar. Meanwhile, the US and Iran remain at odds over key issues, which, along with hawkish Fed expectations, act as a tailwind for the buck. Furthermore, diminishing odds of an RBA rate hike in June cap the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report on Friday.

USD/JPY remains close to 160.00 intervention threshold on Mideast tensions

USD/JPY struggles to find acceptance above 160.00 and retreats from a one-month high during the Asian session on Thursday amid fears that authorities will step in again to prop up the Japanese Yen. Furthermore, a new Israel-Lebanon ceasefire caps the US Dollar and supports the currency pair. However, renewed US-Iran tensions favor the USD bulls amid Fed rate hike bets and also hold back the JPY bulls from placing aggressive bets amid economic risks stemming from the Middle East conflict, suggesting that dips are likely to be bought into.

Gold bounces off one-week low; upside seems capped on Iran uncertainty

Gold recovers from a one-week low touched during the Asian session on Thursday, as news of an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire acts as a headwind for the safe-haven US Dollar. However, renewed hostilities in the Gulf, along with stalled US-Iran peace talks, keep geopolitical risks in play and should support the USD. Moreover, US-Iran tensions remain supportive of higher Crude Oil prices, fueling inflationary concerns and bolstering bets for higher interest rates for longer. This should cap the non-yielding bullion and warrants caution for bulls.


Bitcoin drops below $65K amid reinforced bear market signals

The upside-down math of debt
In 2010, Professors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff published a paper, Growth in a Time of Debt, which instantly went viral. The main thesis of the paper was that once a government's debt-to-GDP ratio crosses above 90%, a financial crisis and default are around the corner.
Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
