Monday's session saw the New Zealand Dollar weaken against its US counterpart, extending its losing streak to two days. The NZD/USD pair fell by 0.50% to a low of 0.6145, as the bears continued to dominate the market.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 50, which is in positive territory but has a negative slope which suggests that the bears are advancing. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) printed red bars, a sign of a continuation of the bear’s momentum. This is aligned with the recent price action, which shows the bears are in control.
