NZDUSD on Tuesday dropped -1.14% to 0.61364. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising in oversold zone.

Updated daily direction for NZDUSD looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Tuesday trading session.

Looking ahead for the day, immediate support level is at S1 0.61057 with break below could see further selling pressure towards S2 at 0.60751. To the upside, with the current momentum bearish, we prefer to look at breakout of the recent daily high of 0.62170 as a potential indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below 0.61307 would indicate selling pressure.

For the week to-date, take note that NZDUSD is mixed as compared to the prior week.
