NZD/USD Price Forecast: New Zealand Dollar holds near 0.5650 as bearish bias holds
- NZD/USD may fall toward the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5600.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 32 indicates the pair is nearing a potential turning point.
- The primary resistance lies at the nine-day EMA of 0.5684.
NZD/USD gains ground for the second consecutive day, trading around 0.5660 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests the spot price is remaining within the descending channel, indicating a prevailing bearish bias.
The NZD/USD pair is maintaining a bearish near-term tone as it holds below both the nine-day and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The pair is pressing the lower end of its recent range, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 32 hovers just above oversold territory, suggesting downside pressure persists but is nearing a potential fatigue zone rather than showing outright capitulation.
The NZD/USD pair may pull back toward the initial support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 0.5600, followed by the 14-month low of 0.5580, which was recorded in November 2025. Further declines below this confluence support zone would strengthen the bearish bias and lead the pair to test 0.5485, the lowest since March 2020.
On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may test the primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 0.5684, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel around 0.5740. Further resistance lies at the 50-day EMA of 0.5806.
