NZDUSD Technical Analysis – Closer Look to Kiwi Climb
FxNews – The NZDUSD currency pair trades near the bullish flag’s upper band. Interestingly, the Awesome Oscillator indicates a divergence signal on the NZDUSD 4-hour chart, while the RSI indicator has fluctuated between the 50 and 80 levels since mid-September 2023. Based on this data, the currency pair appears likely to enter a consolidation phase.
If this technical analysis proves accurate, the pair’s initial target would be the 23.6% Fibonacci support. Furthermore, the lower line of the bullish flag underpins the bullish wave.
The consolidation phase will likely extend to the Ichimoku cloud if something breaks the lower band of the bullish channel.
