Different moving averages (MAs) help us better identify trends across multiple time frames. We use 3 basic MAs to find out which sentiment dominates each horizon. The purple line represents the monthly , the green line the 6 months and the yellow line the annual moving average. According to all MAs, NZD/USD is in bearish sentiment because it is below them. In the case of growth, monthly and annual MAs, which are very close to each other, could be the first important resistance for the exchange rate

The current value is 0.90% , which is very close to the average. Approximately 90% confidence interval (return between -1.2% and 1.2% ) is shown in the histogram below by a red rectangle.

The basic technical analysis points to bearish sentiment since the beginning of this year. This pair has been declining dynamically since our last analysis. However, it has been in the stabilization phase for the last few weeks. We can also clearly see the bullish divergence between the market price and the RSI, which moved the pair back to the demand zone (green rectangle), where are also the Fibonacci retracement level of 23.60% and the important psychological level of 0.7000 . Therefore, a possible bear trap was created. In the case of growth, the long-term moving average, together with short-term MA could be strong resistance to bulls.
