The New Zealand Dollar has failed to draw any significant support from the strong New Zealand GDP figures and is losing ground against the US Dollar. The pair is hovering right above the 0.5755 support area at the time of writing, after having peaked at 0.5830 last week.
Data released on Wednesday revealed that New Zealand’s economy bounced up to grow 1.1% in the third quarter, offsetting the 1% contraction in the first and beating expectations of a 0.9% growth. The pair, however, has remained vulnerable this week, amid a firmer US Dollar, with investors wary of selling US Dollars ahead of the release of November’s US CPI, due later on the day.
Technical Analysis: Indicators show a growing bearish momentum
The 4-hour chart shows the NZD/USD trading at 0.5767 after falling in five out of the last six trading days. The 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) has slipped beneath the 50-period SMA, pointing to a soft bearish bias. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram stays marginally negative while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) consolidates below the 50 midline, suggesting that sellers have taken control.
The pair is now hovering above a key support area at 0.5755, where bears were contained on December 4, 8, 10, and 16. Further down, the next target is the 0.5700-0.5710 area (November 28, December 2 low). On the upside, immediate resistance is at the 50-period SMA, near 0.5790, ahead of the December 11 high, at 0.5830, and the September 23 high, at 0.5870.
