NZD/USD Analysis: Beware of intraday false breakouts

In this comprehensive analysis, Ultima Markets brings you an insightful breakdown of the NZD/USD for FEB 21, 2025.

Fundamental Analysis of NZDUSD

NZDUSD Key Takeaways

Chief economist of the RBNZ: A weaker NZD will help the economic recovery and will support export revenues. The output gap will constrain inflationary pressures. Intentionally ignore the rise in inflation this year.

Fed members’ speeches: Bostic still expects two rate cuts this year, but there is great uncertainty; Goolsby: PCE data is unlikely to be as alarming as CPI data. If tariffs lead to higher inflation, the Fed will consider this; Kugler: PCE inflation is expected to be 2.4% in January and core PCE inflation is 2.6%; there is still a certain gap from the 2% target.

Key resistance: The exchange rate rose rapidly yesterday to the key resistance level of 0.57728, which is the low point in 2023 and the long-term key resistance price, so there is a probability of a downward adjustment today.

Appreciation trend looks at the gap: Since the NZD/USD has fallen by more than 800 points since early October last year, even if the exchange rate breaks through the key resistance price in the short term, it is still regarded as a rebound. The long-term appreciation trend requires the exchange rate to break through the red rectangular gap.

Stochastic oscillator: The indicator sends a short signal in the overbought area, suggesting that short-term shorts have the upper hand again, and be alert that the exchange rate will consolidate during the Asian session.Support price: Based on the current exchange rate being close to the support price of 0.57491 below, the exchange rate may show a sideways consolidation or a false breakout in the short term, but shorting cannot be done at will before the exchange rate falls below the support price.
