Technical Analysis – NZDUSD surges to fresh 32-month high; strongly positive

Posted on December 2, 2020 at 8:26 am GMT

NZDUSD surged to a new 32-month high of 0.7072 earlier today, continuing the buying interest that started after the pullback off the 0.5470 support level. The price is developing well above the ascending trend line and the 20- and 40-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The MACD seems to be gaining momentum above its trigger line, while the RSI is still hovering around its 70 overbought mark, signaling more cautious trading in the short-term. The pair needs to overcome today’s peak to meet the 0.7160 resistance level, identified by the [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD flies to 29-month high above 0.7000

Posted on November 27, 2020 at 8:55 am GMT

NZDUSD has been developing near to multi-month highs of 0.7028, continuing the powerful buying interest that started from 0.6586. The RSI indicator is hovering around the overbought region, while the MACD is strengthening its movement in the bullish area but marginally beneath the trigger line. The simple moving averages (SMAs) are endorsing the upside tendency as all of them are ticking higher in the near term. A jump above today’s high could open the way for the 0.7060 resistance, that being the [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD’s ascent pauses but confidence remains intact

Posted on November 25, 2020 at 9:06 am GMT

NZDUSD is sustaining its bullish demeanour despite sentiment slowing to a degree, after reaching a 29-month high of 0.7004. The Ichimoku lines are preserving the pair’s positive bearing, while the rising simple moving averages (SMAs) are defending the bullish structure. The short-term oscillators reflect some waning in positive momentum. The MACD, some distance north of the zero line, is flattening above its rising red trigger line, while the RSI, merely above the 70 mark, is pointing southwards. Moreover, the stochastic [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD rallies towards previous high of 0.6945

Posted on November 20, 2020 at 9:54 am GMT

NZDUSD is trading not too far from the 0.6945 resistance level and momentum indicators suggest there is still some optimism for the pair to advance again. The near-term bias is looking bullish as the RSI is edging north in the bullish area, while the MACD is trying to extend its movement above its trigger line. Price action at the moment is above the Ichimoku cloud so the risks are to the upside. Should the pair make another run higher, it’s likely to [..]
