NZD/USD Price Prediction: Rolls over and falls sharply to key support

NZD/USD reaches a key resistance band at around the 0.6400 level and promptly reverses lower. It is in the process of forming three consecutive bearish days which in Japanese candlestick analysis is a bearish reversal sign called a “Three Black Crows” pattern (light blue shaded rectangle on chart below). If Thursday (today) ends as a long red candle it will confirm completion of such a pattern. 

NZD/USD Daily Chart 

The move down from the September 30 peak has been sharp and accompanied by equally bearish momentum, increasing the chances it could extend further. However, it has just met a formidable support level at around 0.6220 composed of multiple price peaks in the first half of 2024. This is likely to pose an obstacle to bears wishing to push prices lower.

The blue Moving Average Divergence Convergence (MACD) has crossed below its red signal line which is a bearish signal. 

There is a risk the market may be reversing and further downside could follow. This would particularly be the case if prices closed substantially below the 0.6220 support level, perhaps at 0.6200 or lower. 

However, such a move would soon meet further tough support from the cluster of major Simple Moving Averages (SMA) not far below, starting with the 50-day SMA at 0.6141, but followed by the 100 and 200-days at roughly 0.6120 and 0.6101 respectively. 

Further, it is also possible the Kiwi pair could rally from the current support level in the 0.6220s and resume its prior more-bullish trend. Yet any substantial upside progress is likely to be stymied by tough resistance at around 0.6400 from prior highs in July and December 2023.
