NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bears maintain control, signs of short-term recovery surface


  • Indicators flash oversold conditions on the daily chart.
  • Contrarily, hourly chart indicators suggest a slow return of bullish impulse as the bears might have run out of steam.

In Friday's session, the NZD/USD declined just below the 0.6000 threshold, illustrating a bearish outlook as sellers continue to dominate the market. The pair is positioned below its primary Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), further backing the bearish perspective. Technical indicators hint at a strengthening sellers' command but indicators lay in oversold terrain, a typical signal, and the buying momentum might recover.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for the NZD/USD pair resides in negative territory presently, indicating a prevailing downtrend as sellers dominate the market. The RSI was reported at 33, bordering on oversold conditions, a potential indication for future corrective movement. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram exhibits rising red bars, also confirming the negative momentum.

In essence, while the daily chart discloses a persisting bearish momentum, hourly indications of rising positive momentum in the MACD histogram may signal a reprieve from selling pressure. Looking at the broader trend, the pair is below the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), further implying a bearish outlook.
