NZD/USD daily chart
On the hourly chart, the RSI shows stronger oversold conditions in the most recent hours. However, the hourly MACD, indicated by flat red bars on the histogram, shows a flattening bearish momentum. Notably, despite the oversold condition, buyers have not yet stepped in with enough strength to shift the momentum toward the green zone but they might in the next hours.
NZD/USD hourly chart
Regarding the larger scope, the NZD/USD displays a bearish trend, evidenced by its position below the Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for the 20, 100, and 200-day periods. After getting rejected by the 20-day SMA multiple times in the last sessions, the outlook is confirmed to be bearish as the time of the buyers seems to be fading. In addition, after failing to conquer that crucial resistance, leaves the pair bound for additional downside. However, ahead of the Asian session, there could be a minor upward correction to consolidate the overextended downward movements seen on the hourly chart.
