Technical Analysis – NZDUSD tumbles after RBNZ’s decision
NZDUSD finds support at 200-day SMA
Prices have been heading lower over the last month
Stochastics and RSI keep downside move
NZDUSD is posting notable losses after the RBNZ’s policy decision to leave interest rates unchanged at 5.5%. The pair is pausing its decline near the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at 0.6070 and the short-term ascending trend line.
Technically, the stochastic oscillator posted a bearish crossover within its %K and %D lines near the overbought region, while the RSI is heading south below the neutral threshold of 50. Additionally, the 20- and 50-day SMAs are moving lower, with the potential for a downside crossover.
Immediate support could be found near the 0.6050 level before tumbling to the 0.5980 barrier and switching the outlook to a more bearish one.
On the other hand, traders should look to the previous peak at 0.6150 as the first resistance after a successful bounce off the uptrend line, before resting near the 0.6220 obstacle again. A penetration of this level would add optimism for more buying interest until 0.6280, registered in January.
To summarize, NZDUSD has been in a bearish wave since it topped at 0.6220 in the very short term, but over the last three months, it has posted higher highs and higher lows.Related Assets
