NZD/USD Price Forecast: New Zealand Dollar holds near 0.5650 as bearish bias holds

Source Fxstreet
  • NZD/USD may fall toward the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5600.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 32 indicates the pair is nearing a potential turning point.
  • The primary resistance lies at the nine-day EMA of 0.5684.

NZD/USD gains ground for the second consecutive day, trading around 0.5660 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the spot price is remaining within the descending channel, indicating a prevailing bearish bias.

The NZD/USD pair is maintaining a bearish near-term tone as it holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The pair is pressing the lower end of its recent range, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 32 hovers just above oversold territory, suggesting downside pressure persists but is nearing a potential fatigue zone rather than showing outright capitulation.

The NZD/USD pair may pull back toward the initial support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5600, followed by the 14-month low of 0.5580, which was recorded in November 2025. Further declines below this confluence support zone would strengthen the bearish bias and lead the pair to test 0.5485, the lowest since March 2020.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may test the primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.5684, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around 0.5740. Further resistance lies at the 50-day EMA of 0.5806.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
