NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The NZD/USD technical picture suggests that downtrend might continue, but the Fed’s decision could trigger a shift in the trend. Capped on the upside, buyers would face key resistance at 0.5800 before testing the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.5830, followed by the 200-day SMA at 0.5858.
If those two levels are surpassed, the NZD/USD bias would shift to neutral-upwardly with traders eyeing a challenge to the 100-day SMA at 0.5907.
For a bearish continuation, the NZD/USD first support would be the 20-day SMA at 0.5760, before testing the October 23 low of 0.5724. A decisive break and 0.57 is up next. On further weakness, the next support would be October’s low of 0.5682, before plunging towards the yearly low of 0.5485.
