- 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.
