NZD/USD Price Forecast: Rises to near 0.5950 after breaking above nine-day EMA

  • NZD/USD could target the rectangle’s upper boundary around 0.6020, followed by the six-month high of 0.6038.
  • The 14-day RSI has climbed above the 50 level, hinting at a developing bullish bias.
  • A break below the nine-day EMA of 0.5929 would weaken the short-term price momentum.

The NZD/USD pair holds gains after registering approximately 1.50% gains in the previous session, trading around 0.5940 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a neutral stance, as the pair continues to consolidate within a rectangular range.

However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed above the 50 level, hinting at a developing bullish bias. Moreover, the NZD/USD pair remains above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), pointing to strengthening short-term upward momentum.

The NZD/USD pair could target the rectangle’s upper boundary around 0.6020, followed by the six-month high of 0.6038, last seen in November 2024. A break above this crucial resistance zone could open the doors for the pair to explore the region around the seven-month high near 0.6350, recorded in October 2024.

On the downside, the NZD/USD pair may test its initial support at the nine-day EMA of 0.5929. A break below this level would weaken the short-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the pair to retest the initial support at the lower boundary of the rectangle around 0.5850, aligned with the 50-day EMA at 0.5843. A sustained move below this key support zone could further deteriorate medium-term momentum, potentially exposing the pair to a deeper decline toward 0.5485 — a level last seen in March 2020.

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session.

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday.
