The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) plummets during the North American session on Thursday as high US Treasury yields underpin the Greenback, which is registering a new two-day high as the Middle East conflict escalates. NZD/USD trades at 0.588, down nearly 1% and slightly above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at the time of writing.
NZD/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The technical picture shows some Kiwi Dollar weakness with the NZD/USD pair about to turn bearish if it ends daily below the 200-day SMA at 0.5876. In the last two days, the spot price has hovered around the latter. Still, buyers prevented sellers from winning the battle, which would open the door to test lower prices.
If NZD/USD finishes the day below the 200-day SMA, look for a test of the 100-day SMA at 0.5817. On further weakness, the next stop would be 0.5800, ahead of falling towards the January 19 swing low of 0.5741.
With the price action structure and momentum turning bearish, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), it is important to closely monitor the NZD/USD daily close below the 200-day SMA.
