NZDUSD Price Technical Outlook
NZDUSD is 1.45% higher at 0.5804 as the pair managed to rebound from the recent lows. The technical outlook is clearly bearish for the pair despite the recent rebound, but I can’t rule out a further upward move as theee RSI is ssstill in oversold level and makes an attttempt to exit the oversold area.
On the upside, the first resistance for NZDUSD stands at 0.5839 the daily high. In case the buyers break above then the next target would be at 0.5961 the high from March 20. More selling pressure would be met at 0.6098 the high from March 17.
On the other side, first support will be met at 0.5687 the daily low. In case that the NZDUSD pair breaks below, the next support zone stands at 0.5588 the low from yesterday’s trading session.
