- On the daily chart, sellers remain in control despite the improvement of the RSI and MACD.
- While the daily chart emits bearish signals, the hourly indicators provide a more balanced picture, showcasing an equilibrium between buyers and sellers.
- The cross saw a recovery during the American session and managed to clear daily losses.
In Friday's session, the NZD/JPY is trading at 90.70, recording a slight loss of 0.22% after bottoming at a low of 90.35. The positioning of the pair above the key 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) might hint at bullish prospects in the overall trend, yet the shorter technical outlook tilts toward the bears as it trades below the 20-day average.
On the daily chart, the NZD/JPY's Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been in negative territory, signaling that sellers have been dominant. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) doesn't present any brighter picture either. Its histogram has flat red bars, indicating negative momentum and a lack of buying strength.

NZD/JPY hourly chart
To conclude, the broader daily analysis paints a reasonably bearish picture, with the RSI and MACD indicating seller dominance and the pair below the 20-day SMA. Yet, the hourly chart presents a somewhat mixed picture, showing a balance between buyers and sellers. Considering the pair's position above the 100 and 200-day SMAs, despite the immediate bearish sentiment, the bulls might still have a chance to regain control.
