NZD/USD Price Forecast: Stays near 0.5850 after rebounding from levels near nine-day EMA

Source Fxstreet
  • NZD/USD may find the initial resistance at the 50-day EMA of 0.5843.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is just above 51, suggesting mildly positive momentum.
  • The nine-day EMA at 0.5797 provides immediate support.

NZD/USD rises after opening at a gap down, trading around 0.5830 during the Asian hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart signals a potential for a bullish bias as the pair remains within the emerging ascending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers just above 51, hinting at mildly constructive momentum but not yet signaling a decisive directional break while price remains capped beneath the longer EMA.

However, the NZD/USD pair is caught between a supportive nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and overhead pressure from the 50-day EMA, leaving the near-term tone broadly range-bound.

The primary resistance lies at the medium-term average at 0.5843, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 0.5900. A break above the channel would support the NZD/USD pair to explore the region around 0.6094, the highest since July 2025, which was reached on January 29.

The nine-day EMA at 0.5797 acts as an immediate support, followed by the lower ascending channel boundary around 0.5740. Further decline below the channel would expose 0.5681, the weakest level in nearly five months, recorded on April 6.
