20:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 68 · price 0.59888

Sequence of higher highs and higher lows from 0.5833 base.

Steady climb since Wednesday's 0.5833 base, with each NY session adding a fresh leg — through 0.5920 mid-week and the 0.5945 prior breakout zone overnight. Friday's NY session printed the week high at 0.5994 before stalling under the 0.6000 psych level, RSI rolling from the high 60s as price consolidates in a tight 0.5980–0.5990 band.

Support: 0.5980, 0.5945, 0.5902

Resistance: 0.5994, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 0.6000 psych extends the uptrend toward the next round figure
  • Loss of 0.5980 session low opens a retest of the 0.5945 prior breakout shelf
  • Iran-US headline flow remains the dominant USD driver into the weekend

19:01 UTC

Uptrend, extending higher · RSI 67 · price 0.5983

Higher highs and higher lows since Tuesday low.

Kiwi has run a clean staircase higher since the Tuesday NY session low near 0.5833, with each London session adding to the impulse and price now consolidating just under the 0.6000 psych level. EMA(20) on H1 has been respected on every pullback this week, most recently at 0.5973 before the NY push to 0.5994. RSI(14) at 67 reflects sustained momentum without yet flagging exhaustion, though the broader risk-on tone tied to Trump's Hormuz blockade-lift announcement is doing the heavy lifting.

Support: 0.5981, 0.5973, 0.5945

Resistance: 0.5994, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • An hourly close above 0.6000 psych opens the path to extension; rejection here with a close back under 0.5973 prior high would mark the first lower high of the week
  • Loss of 0.5945 breakout level would break the channel structure
  • Ongoing US-Iran headline risk could materially shift this read on a single print

18:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 67 · price 0.59808

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday.

NZDUSD has trended higher through the week, accelerating through the NY session yesterday and again into today's London-NY transition after Trump's Hormuz blockade-lift headlines weighed on USD. Price tagged 0.5994 before pulling back to 0.5981, with RSI(14) elevated near 67 and EMA(20) tracking under price as a dynamic support around 0.5950. The 0.6000 psych level is the next obvious test.

Support: 0.5974, 0.5960, 0.5950

Resistance: 0.5994, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 0.6000 opens room toward the next round figure
  • Loss of 0.5960 breakout shelf would break the channel
  • Iran-US headline flow remains a live driver of USD across the session

17:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extended · RSI 72 · price 0.59897

Higher highs, higher lows since Wednesday.

NZDUSD has trended cleanly higher since Wednesday's NY session, with each London-NY transition adding to the move and pullbacks holding the rising EMA(20). Price is now pressing the 0.5994 week high into the 0.6000 round number after the Trump blockade-lift headline accelerated risk-on flows in the last few hours. RSI(14) at 72 flags stretched conditions, but structure remains intact with no lower-high printed on this window.

Support: 0.5960, 0.5933, 0.5901

Resistance: 0.5994, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.5960 would break the higher-low sequence and signal exhaustion
  • Clean break and hold above 0.6000 opens room toward the next psych handle
  • Iran headline reversal (Fars denial already circulating) could unwind risk-on bid quickly

16:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 73 · price 0.59906

Higher highs and higher lows since mid-week.

Steady grind higher since Wednesday's NY session, with the breakout above 0.59200 catalysing a clean leg into the 0.59940 session high and the 0.60000 psych line. Price is riding well above EMA20 with RSI(14) stretched into overbought, but pullbacks have been shallow and bought intraday. Risk-on tone from Trump's naval blockade headlines this NY session aligns with the kiwi bid.

Support: 0.5950, 0.5920, 0.5890

Resistance: 0.5994, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 0.60000 psych extends the breakout
  • Loss of 0.59500 intraday HL would be the first sign of momentum cooling
  • Failure to hold 0.59200 breakout zone invalidates the uptrend read
  • Fresh Iran-related headlines could whip risk sentiment and this read

15:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 75 · price 0.59871

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

Kiwi has trended steadily higher since Wednesday's 0.5833 low, with each NY session adding to the move and pullbacks finding the EMA(20). Thursday's break above 0.5920 opened the path to the current 0.5990 session high, and RSI(14) at 74 reflects extended momentum into the 0.6000 psych level. Soft US wholesale inventories and a narrower goods trade deficit have done little to halt the bid through today's London-NY transition.

Support: 0.5964, 0.5933, 0.5888

Resistance: 0.5990, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 0.6000 psych extends the trend
  • Loss of 0.5964 intraday HL would mark the first lower-low of the week
  • RSI remains overbought; a divergence on a fresh session high would weaken the read

14:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 72 · price 0.59832

Higher highs, higher lows since Wednesday.

NZDUSD has trended steadily higher since Wednesday's NY session, with each pullback finding the rising EMA(20) and printing fresh higher highs into Friday's European session. The break above 0.5933 yesterday accelerated through 0.5960 overnight, and price is now pressing the session high at 0.5990 with RSI(14) in overbought territory. Soft German CPI and weaker US wholesale data have kept the bid intact heading into the weekly close.

Support: 0.5960, 0.5933, 0.5891

Resistance: 0.5990, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Rejection at 0.5990–0.6000 psych zone would mark a session high failure
  • H1 close back below 0.5960 intraday HL breaks the trend channel
  • Loss of 0.5933 prior high would confirm a lower-high and shift the read

13:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum strong into 0.60 · RSI 73 · price 0.5979

Stair-step higher highs and higher lows.

NZDUSD has trended higher all week, accelerating after RBNZ hawkish commentary and softer US data (wholesale inventories, trade balance) lifted the pair from the 0.5830 base into a fresh push toward 0.6000. Price is riding well above EMA(20) with RSI(14) stretched into overbought, and the breakout above the prior 0.5933 high has held cleanly into the NY session. The 0.6000 psych level is the immediate test.

Support: 0.5965, 0.5933, 0.5887

Resistance: 0.5980, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H1 close above 0.6000 psych extends the breakout
  • Rejection at 0.6000 with H1 close back below 0.5965 session low signals exhaustion
  • Loss of 0.5933 prior high would break the stair-step structure

12:01 UTC

Uptrend, accelerating into Friday · RSI 71 · price 0.59747

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

Kiwi has trended steadily higher since Wednesday's 0.5833 low, with a clean breakout through 0.5945 during the NY session yesterday and follow-through into Friday's Asia and London hours. Price is pressing fresh session highs at 0.5975 with RSI(14) stretched into overbought, and pullbacks have consistently held the rising EMA(20). Momentum favours continuation but the move is extended into the 0.6000 psych zone.

Support: 0.5945, 0.5902, 0.5872

Resistance: 0.59755, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.5945 breakout would neutralise the continuation read
  • Loss of 0.5872 weekly pivot would mark a lower-low and break the uptrend structure
  • Rejection wick at 0.6000 psych level worth monitoring given stretched RSI

11:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extended · RSI 71 · price 0.5964

Higher highs and higher lows since Tuesday low.

Steady grind higher off Tuesday's 0.5833 low, with each NY session this week extending the move; yesterday's NY session broke 0.5920 cleanly and price has tracked an ascending channel into 0.5965. RSI(14) sits near 70 with price hugging EMA(20), reflecting a one-way bid rather than divergence yet.

Support: 0.5958, 0.5945, 0.5920

Resistance: 0.5967, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.5945 prior breakout would break the channel structure
  • Loss of 0.5920 EMA(20) would end the higher-low sequence
  • Reaction at the 0.6000 psych level into NY session

10:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 68 · price 0.5964

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

NZDUSD has trended cleanly higher since Wednesday's swing low at 0.5833, with each NY session adding to the move and pullbacks holding the EMA(20). The Thursday NY session drove the breakout above 0.5930 on hawkish RBNZ signalling, and price has extended through 0.5950 into the current Friday session high at 0.5967. RSI(14) at 68 reflects the momentum without yet showing divergence against this week's high.

Support: 0.5955, 0.5930, 0.5873

Resistance: 0.5967, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below the 0.5930 breakout level would invalidate the channel read
  • Stall and rejection at the 0.6000 psych level remains the obvious upside friction point
  • Loss of 0.5955 prior high on a pullback would mark a first lower-high since the breakout

09:01 UTC

Uptrend, extension continuing · RSI 68 · price 0.59604

Higher highs, higher lows since Wednesday.

NZDUSD has trended steadily higher since Wednesday's London session, with RBNZ hawkish repricing driving the impulse leg into Thursday's NY hours and price now consolidating just below 0.5963. EMA(20) has guided every pullback this week, most recently catching the dip into 0.5944 before extension resumed. RSI(14) at 68 reflects sustained momentum without exhaustion yet.

Support: 0.5944, 0.5901, 0.58658

Resistance: 0.59632, 0.5975

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 0.5963 session high opens path toward 0.5975 psych
  • Loss of 0.5944 prior break level questions the extension
  • Failure to hold EMA(20) near 0.5901 would mark first lower-low of the week
  • Japan MOF FX intervention rhetoric raises broader USD risk premium

08:01 UTC

Uptrend, fresh weekly highs · RSI 71 · price 0.59593

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

NZDUSD broke out of a Tuesday range below 0.5870 after RBNZ's Breman flagged earlier and steeper rate hikes during the Asia session yesterday, with follow-through into NY taking price to a week high at 0.59632. Pullback into the Asia session held above the 0.59290 prior high, and price is now grinding back toward the highs with RSI(14) elevated near 71. Trend is intact above EMA20 with the round 0.5950 acting as immediate support.

Support: 0.5950, 0.5929, 0.58718

Resistance: 0.59632, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.59290 prior high would break the higher-low sequence
  • Rejection at 0.60000 round number would mark a session top
  • Sustained move above 0.59632 week high opens path toward 0.60000

07:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 70 · price 0.59591

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

NZDUSD has trended steadily higher since carving a swing low at 0.5833 on Wednesday, with each pullback finding demand near EMA(20) and clearing the prior week's high through Thursday's NY session. Breakout above 0.5933 extended into Friday's Asia hours to a session high at 0.5961, with RSI(14) pushing into overbought near 70. Hawkish RBNZ commentary from Breman flagged in news flow aligns with the kiwi bid.

Support: 0.5933, 0.5900, 0.5872

Resistance: 0.59614

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.5933 prior high would neutralise the breakout
  • Loss of 0.5900 psych level signals deeper retracement toward 0.5872 swing low
  • RSI overbought into thin Friday session raises pullback risk

06:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 71 · price 0.59591

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

NZDUSD has built a clean staircase of higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday's 0.5833 low, with the NY session yesterday and London this morning extending the move through 0.5950 on hawkish RBNZ commentary from Breman. Price now trades at session highs near 0.5959 with RSI(14) pushing into overbought, but pullbacks continue to be shallow and EMA20 remains well below price as a dynamic support reference.

Support: 0.5944, 0.5901, 0.5872

Resistance: 0.5980

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.59440 would invalidate the breakout retest and warn of exhaustion
  • Loss of 0.59010 prior range top would mark the first lower-low since Wednesday
  • Extended overbought RSI without a fresh high raises bearish divergence risk into 0.5980 round number

05:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 71 · price 0.59581

Higher highs and higher lows since Wednesday low.

NZDUSD has trended higher all week from the 0.5835 Wednesday low, with a clean impulse through 0.5900 on Thursday's NY session after hawkish RBNZ commentary from Breman and Silk. Price extended into Asia today, breaking the prior high at 0.5933 and posting a fresh session high at 0.5960. RSI(14) at 71 flags extension, but pullbacks have been shallow and EMA(20) is tracking the move from below.

Support: 0.5933, 0.5900, 0.5872

Resistance: 0.59602

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.5933 prior high would mark first lower-high since Wednesday
  • Loss of 0.5900 psych level would invalidate the breakout-retest structure
  • RSI(14) above 70 raises odds of a sideways pause before continuation
  • Further RBNZ commentary or Iran-deal headlines could shift the read intraday

04:01 UTC

Uptrend, fresh leg higher · RSI 71 · price 0.59521

Higher highs, higher lows since Wednesday.

Kiwi has run a clean third leg higher this week, accelerating through 0.5930 into the NY session yesterday on RBNZ Breman's hawkish hike signal and Iran de-escalation headlines. Price is holding above EMA(20) on every pullback since Wednesday's reclaim of 0.5880, with RSI(14) now stretched at 71. Session high at 0.59561 is the immediate cap, with the prior breakout shelf around 0.59010 the structure to defend.

Support: 0.5933, 0.5901, 0.58775

Resistance: 0.59561, 0.5970

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 0.59010 breakout shelf would break the higher-low sequence
  • Stalling at the 0.59700 psych level with bearish rsi divergence would signal momentum exhaustion
  • Loss of 0.58775 swing low invalidates this week's uptrend

03:01 UTC

Uptrend, accelerating · RSI 71 · price 0.59469

Higher highs and higher lows off 0.5835 base.

NZDUSD has trended cleanly higher all week off the 0.5835 base, with the NY session yesterday driving a breakout above 0.5920 that extended into the Asia session today to a week high near 0.5956. Price sits above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) pushing into overbought, aided by RBNZ's Breman flagging earlier and steeper hikes and Iran-deal optimism. Pullbacks have so far held the prior break zone around 0.5901.

Support: 0.5933, 0.5901, 0.5873

Resistance: 0.5956, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.5933 intraday base would stall the breakout extension
  • Loss of 0.5901 prior break zone reopens the 0.5873 Thursday swing low
  • Push through 0.5956 week high exposes the 0.6000 psych level
  • Further RBNZ hawkish commentary or Iran-deal headlines could materially shift this read

02:01 UTC

Uptrend, fresh impulse · RSI 73 · price 0.59509

Higher highs, higher lows.

Kiwi has accelerated through the week, breaking out of Tuesday's 0.5840 base and extending into 0.5956 during yesterday's NY session before pushing higher again into Asia. Price now sits above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 73, reflecting the fresh impulse after RBNZ Breman's hawkish signal and the ANZ confidence bounce. The 0.5929 area, where Asia opened, is now the immediate session base.

Support: 0.5929, 0.58981, 0.58658

Resistance: 0.59561, 0.6000

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.59290 session base would crack the impulse structure
  • Failure to hold 0.58981 prior high would signal deeper retracement
  • 0.60000 psych level above as next round-number friction

01:01 UTC

Uptrend, fresh breakout extension · RSI 72 · price 0.59499

Higher highs and higher lows since Tuesday low.

NZDUSD extended its recovery off Tuesday's 0.5836 low into a clean breakout above 0.5930 during yesterday's NY session, with price now pressing the 0.5950 psych handle. The advance has been supported by a hawkish-hold tone from the RBNZ and a softer Tokyo CPI print weighing on USD/JPY cross flows; RSI(14) at 72 flags overbought after a near-vertical leg through Asia. Pullbacks since the breakout have held above EMA(20), keeping the structure constructive.

Support: 0.5930, 0.5900, 0.5873

Resistance: 0.5950, 0.5965

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.5930 would neutralise the breakout read
  • Loss of 0.5900 reopens the prior range
  • Stretched RSI raises odds of a consolidation phase before 0.5965 is tested

00:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extending · RSI 71 · price 0.59442

Higher highs, higher lows since Tuesday low.

NZDUSD has trended firmly higher since bottoming near 0.5833 in the Tuesday NY session, with the RBNZ-driven push clearing 0.5900 and extending through Thursday's NY hours into 0.5946. Pullbacks have respected EMA(20) and the 0.5901 breakout zone, while RSI(14) sits stretched above 70 reflecting the late impulse. Price is now testing the upper edge of the week's range into the 0.5950 psychological area.

Support: 0.5929, 0.5901, 0.5873

Resistance: 0.59465, 0.5950

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.5929 prior high would mark first lower-high since breakout
  • Sustained break of 0.5950 psych opens the path toward 0.6000
  • Loss of 0.5873 EMA20 zone would invalidate the trend read
  • Middle East headline risk could shift USD safe-haven flows abruptly
