NZD/USD Goes Down Toward 0.5700 While Breaking the Short-term Barrier

NZD/USD Down Toward 0.5700 After Losing Short-Term Breakout

On the last Wednesday in November, the NZD/USD gained momentum, going up more than 1%, sitting near 0.5690 in Asia’s session. This time, it climbed past the nine-day EMA, hinting at fresh short-term power. But let’s be real—the bigger trend still points down. The daily chart makes that obvious, so investors aren’t exactly piling in right now.

A bit of calm shows up in the short-term signals; however, the 50-day EMA still hangs above, holding back buyers. The nine-day EMA now acts as a support zone. For real change, buyers need to break past that 50-day level; without it, slipping back remains likely, particularly if NZD/USD fails to hold recent gains.

Support Levels Hold as Buyers Test the Waters

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) holds near 52 – steady and it’s climbing slowly, hinting at gains if demand stays strong. Should momentum fade, watch 0.5650 as a support level, along with the nine-day EMA  at about 0.5640. If those give way, sellers could push harder toward the support at 0.5550. A breakdown past that opens room for another leg down to April’s bottom around 0.5485. The multi-year low in April, which is close to 0.5485, may be revisited by traders.

All Eyes on 0.5700 and Beyond

Right now, the immediate hurdle is 0.5700—a big psychological line in the sand. After that, the upper edge of the channel at 0.5720 and the 50-day EMA at 0.5725 are the next big tests. If NZD/USD can close above those, bulls could take charge, aiming for a run at September’s high near 0.6008.
