- AUD/NZD briefly sagged below 1.0770 in early Thursday trading.
- Long-term congestion around the 200-day SMA continues below 1.0800.
- 2024 kicks off with continued sideways grind between familiar peaks and lows.
The AUD/NZD pair waffled on Wednesday, drifting from a near-term peak just below 1.0830 to sink back into familiar near-term lows near 1.0770, briefly testing into 1.0760 in early Thursday trading.
The Antipodean pair has been earmarked by congestion through the entirety of 2023 following a drastic rebalancing from 2022’s peak of 1.1490, sinking nearly 9% to a December 2022 low of 1.0470. The AUD/NZD has been caught in long-term consolidation ever since, cycling the 1.0800 handle as the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) treads water in the familiar price zone.
Intraday action has the pair drifting into the low side of the 200-hour SMA near 1.0790, set for a bounce from chart territory near the last swing low at 1.0750, and the immediate topside technical ceiling sits at 1.0830, 2024’s early swing high.
