Higher highs and higher lows since early-month low.
NZDUSD pushed off the 0.5815 base and impulsed through 0.5910 breakout to print a swing high at 0.5991, with higher-low structure intact since early month. Price has since cooled into a 0.5935–0.5980 range, with the latest bars retesting the 0.5950 near-term shelf after a brief dip to the 0.5935 swing low. ATR(14) at ~19 pips reflects steady, not exhausted, swing pace; geopolitical headlines and the upcoming Trump-Xi summit plus US CPI are the macro overhang.
Support: 0.5935, 0.5910, 0.5870
Resistance: 0.5983, 0.5991, 0.5950
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.5935 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence
Sustained move above 0.5983 swing high reopens the 0.5991 range high
US CPI release this week could materially shift this read
Loss of 0.5910 breakout shelf would invalidate the uptrend structure
Higher highs since 0.5815, pulling back to prior breakout zone.
Price broke out of a multi-week 0.5815-0.5920 range on the late-April impulse to 0.5991 and is now pulling back into the 0.5919-0.5934 breakout zone. Structure remains higher-high / higher-low with EMA50 still underneath, but the rejection from 0.5983 and current drift back toward the breakout shelf marks a momentum cooling phase. China's hotter April CPI failed to lift NZD, leaving the pair vulnerable if 0.5934 swing low gives way.
Support: 0.5934, 0.5919, 0.5870
Resistance: 0.5983, 0.5991, 0.5947
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.5934 swing low would break the higher-low sequence and open 0.5870 range pivot
Reclaim of 0.5983 swing high keeps the breakout structure intact and exposes 0.5991 spike high
Sustained hold of the 0.5919 breakout zone on retest validates the trend continuation read

Higher-low base, recent swing high rejected.
Price broke out of the 0.5815–0.5920 multi-week range on the late-April impulse, tagging a swing high at 0.5983 before fading. Structure remains constructive with a higher-low base around 0.5935, but momentum has cooled and the latest rejection from 0.5983 left a near-term lower-high. RSI mid-range and price slipping below EMA20 while holding above EMA50 reflect a pause within the broader uptrend.
Support: 0.5935, 0.5878, 0.5815
Resistance: 0.5983
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.5935 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence
Reclaim of 0.5983 swing high reopens the impulsive leg
Loss of 0.5878 prior pivot would mark a deeper retrace toward 0.5815 range low
