Posted on July 8, 2020 at 1:28 pm GMT

NZDUSD touched the four-month peak of 0.6580 for the second time over the last month. The momentum indicators, though, are currently suggesting that the buying interest may have topped, and the pair may be regain positive momentum. The RSI and the MACD are pointing slightly down, and from the Ichimoku indicators, the red Tenkan-sen line has also paused its upside move. A closing price above 0.6580 could boost buying interest and confirm additional gains towards the 0.6665 resistance. Higher still, the 0.6750 barrier, registered on December 2019 [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD makes positive moves to retest ceiling of range

Posted on July 3, 2020 at 7:47 am GMT

NZDUSD recently overcame negative pressures jumping above the mostly flat 50- and 100-period simple moving averages (SMAs) and the neutral Ichimoku cloud to revisit the roof of the sideways market, which has held for around three weeks.

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD capped by 20-day SMA; indicators appear mixed

Posted on July 1, 2020 at 7:17 am GMT

NZDUSD is capped by the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and the red Tenkan-sen line in the short-term and has been moving sideways over the past three weeks. The momentum indicators are facing contradicting signals as the RSI is pointing marginally up in the positive region, while the MACD oscillator is standing beneath its trigger line and is losing ground. If the price continues to fall, immediate support would come from the 0.6375 barrier and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD consolidates recent gains; negative risks present

Posted on June 26, 2020 at 12:57 pm GMT
