NZD/USD Price Forecast: Falls to July 29 lows as bears retain control below 0.5800
The NZD/USD pair meets with fresh supply at the start of a new week and drops to its lowest level since July 29, around the 0.5780 region during the early European session. Moreover, the fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for spot prices remains to the downside.
The NZD/USD currency pair experienced a decline to its lowest point since July 29, around 0.5780, at the beginning of the week. Market experts predict further downward movement for the pair, as the forces of supply and demand continue to favor a bearish outlook. The recent release of US inflation data, indicating a potential interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, is one contributing factor to this trend.
Additionally, growing tensions between the United States and Iran have bolstered the US Dollar's appeal as a safe-haven currency. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's cautious stance also plays a role in the current downward trajectory of the NZD/USD pair. Technical indicators, such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Relative Strength Index (RSI), further support this negative sentiment, signaling that the downside pressure remains strong but may be starting to wane.
With support levels currently found at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 0.5764 and the 78.6% level at 0.5704, a bounce from these areas could potentially trigger a shift in the market's direction. Until then, traders should expect further declines in the NZD/USD exchange rate, with a potential rally viewed as a corrective move within the prevailing bearish framework.
