NZD/USD daily chart
The overall outlook for the NZD/USD is bullish. The pair is trading above its key moving averages, and the technical indicators are regaining strength. Buyers seem to have hit a solid resistance at 0.6350, but buyers might be preparing to retest it. A break above could pave the way for more upside and the pair could test the 0.6400 level. On the other hand, a rejection at this level might trigger selling pressure and the bears might target the 0.6300 area and even more push the pair down to the 0.6250-0.6200. That being said, if the pair holds the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.6220, the bullish outlook will remain intact.
