NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
For the fourth straight day, the NZD/USD pierced the 200-day SMA, but buyers stepped in, driving the exchange rate within the 0.5880-0.5900 as they remain hopeful of pushing prices higher.
Nevertheless, momentum remains bearish as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), with the RSI’s slope aiming lower.
For a bullish continuation, buyers must push the exchange rate past 0.5900 followed by the March 3 high at 0.5955. On further strength the next area of interest would be the 20-day SMA at 0.5981 ahead of 0.6000.
On the flip side, and the most likely scenario the first support is the 200-day SMA. A break beneath the level will expose the 100-day SMA at 0.5817, before testing 0.5800.
