NZD/USD Price Forecast: Tests nine-day EMA after breaking above 0.5800

  • NZD/USD may find its primary support at the downward trendline around 0.5750.
  • The market sentiment remains bearish as the 14-day RSI stays firmly below the 50 mark.
  • The immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA of 0.5821.

NZD/USD extends its gains for the second successive session, trading around 0.5810 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a weaker short-term price momentum as the pair remains below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned below the 50 mark, strengthening the prevailing bearish bias.

On the downside, the NZD/USD pair could find its initial support at the downward trendline around the crucial level of 0.5750. A break below the trendline would open the doors for the pair to navigate the area around 0.5485, the lowest level since March 2020, which was recorded on April 9, 2025.

The NZD/USD pair is testing its immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.5821, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.5894. A break above these levels would improve the short- and medium-term price momentum and lead the pair to test the three-month high of 0.6008, reached on September 17, followed by 0.6121, the highest since October 2024.

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.
