The pair is currently testing its 200-hour moving average at 0.5819 while also holding near the 50% retracement of the May 29 high to the June 26 low at 0.5809. Today&#8217;s low reached 0.5812 before attracting some buying interest, suggesting this area is being closely defended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\">\n<p>From a technical perspective, buyers need to reclaim the 200-hour moving average and then push back above the 100-hour moving average at 0.5839. The 100-hour MA was broken during yesterday&#8217;s reversal after the rally to new highs stalled, coinciding with renewed U.S. dollar strength. <\/p>\n<p>A move back above both moving averages would shift the near-term bias back in favor of the bulls and increase the odds of another run toward the June highs.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, a break below the 50% retracement at 0.5809, followed by a move beneath the 0.5800 psychological level, would strengthen the bearish case. That would likely trigger a rotation toward the next key support zone between 0.5765 and 0.5777.<\/p>\n<p>Since late May, NZDUSD has experienced two well-defined trending phases\u2014a sharp decline followed by an equally impressive recovery. Throughout both moves, the 100- and 200-hour moving averages have done a good job defining the prevailing trend. The recent break below the 200-hour moving average raises a caution flag for buyers, but as long as the pair can hold near the 50% retracement and reclaim the key moving averages, the broader recovery remains intact. The battle around this support zone is likely to determine the pair&#8217;s next directional move.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NZDUSD pushed to its highest level since June 5 yesterday, but the rally lost momentum and reversed lower, leading to a corrective move that has now reached an important technical support&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-434346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
