NZD/USD Price Forecast: Rises to near 0.5850 despite fading bullish bias

  • NZD/USD pair may fall toward the five-month low of 0.5680.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 48 signals weakening bullish momentum, not oversold conditions.
  • Key resistance is seen at the medium-term average around 0.5859.

NZD/USD gains ground after two days of losses, trading around 0.5840 during the European hours on Thursday. The technical analysis of the daily chart signals an emerging bearish bias as the pair remains below the ascending channel.

The NZD/USD pair holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which keeps the near-term bias tilted to the downside.

The NZD/USD pair has recently retreated from the 0.5900 area, and the 14-day Relative Strength Index around 48 suggests fading bullish momentum rather than outright oversold conditions, hinting that sellers still retain a modest structural advantage while upside attempts are likely to be capped by nearby moving average resistance.

On the downside, the NZD/USD pair may navigate the region around the five-month low of 0.5680.

The primary resistance lies at the medium-term average at 0.5859, aligned with the short-term average of 0.5865. A rebound above these averages would lead the NZD/USD pair back to the ascending channel, reviving the bullish bias. The pair may further explore the area around 0.6094, the highest since July 2025, which was reached on January 29, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 0.6120.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
