NZD/USD Technical Analysis: Daily MACD offers bearish signal

  • NZD/USD’s daily MACD has turned bearish for first since mid-November.  
  • A corrective pullback to ascending moving average could be in the offing.  

NZD/USD could feel the pull of gravity on Monday, as a key indicator is offering a bearish signal for the first time in over a month.  

The daily MACD histogram, an indicator used to identify trend changes and trend strength, has dropped below zero, signaling a bullish-to-bearish trend change.  

The first negative reading since mid-September indicates the rally from lows near 0.6330 has ended and bears have likely regained control.  

The below-zero MACD adds credence to Dec. 13’s bearish inverted hammer and has likely opened the doors for a drop to the ascending 5-week moving average, currently at 0.6555.  

At press time, NZD/USD is trading at 0.6602, representing marginal gains on the day.
