NZDUSD trade ideas
NZDUSDBelow is a fundamental analysis for NZD/USD, structured similarly to the provided model:
Fundamental Analysis of NZD/USD (February 2025)
This analysis examines updated macroeconomic indicators, geopolitical factors, data from the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, possible scenarios, and a favorable scenario based on current economic trends.
1. Macroeconomic Indicators and Monetary Policy
New Zealand
• GDP and Economic Growth:
• The New Zealand economy recorded a modest growth of 0.3% in Q4 2024, indicating cautious expansion amid global uncertainties.
• Inflation:
• Inflation is projected to trend around 3.5% by autumn 2025, remaining above the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) comfort zone.
• RBNZ Monetary Policy:
• In early February 2025, the RBNZ adjusted its policy by slightly cutting its official cash rate from 5.25% to 5.00% as a response to subdued domestic demand and persistent inflationary pressures.
• Unemployment and Labor Market:
• The labor market in New Zealand shows mixed signals; while unemployment remains relatively low, wage growth and labor participation are under close watch due to global economic headwinds.
United States
• GDP and Economic Growth:
• The US economy continues to expand robustly, supported by strong consumer spending and a resilient labor market.
• Inflation:
• US inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, prompting the Fed to sustain its cautious monetary stance.
• Fed Monetary Policy:
• In the latest FOMC meeting, the Fed maintained its benchmark rate within the 4.25% - 4.50% range, reflecting a commitment to balancing inflation risks with growth prospects.
• Unemployment and Labor Market:
• The US labor market remains tight, with low unemployment figures reinforcing a strong economic backdrop.
2. Geopolitical Factors
• Trade Relations and Tariff Policies:
• The US continues to signal a tougher stance on trade policies, with potential tariff implementations that could influence global currency flows. Although New Zealand’s trade ties are less directly impacted by these measures, overall global trade uncertainty could affect risk sentiment toward the NZD.
• Fiscal Policies:
• Expansionary fiscal policies in the US, coupled with a significant budget deficit, may exert downward pressure on the dollar over the longer term, indirectly benefiting the NZD.
3. Commitment of Traders (COT) Report – February 11, 2025
Non-Commercial Traders (Large Speculators):
• Long Positions: 55,000
• Short Positions: 60,500
• Net Position: -5,500 (net short on NZD)
• This suggests that large speculators are leaning towards a depreciation of the New Zealand dollar in the near term.
Commercial Traders (Hedgers):
• Long Positions: 80,200
• Short Positions: 68,000
• Net Position: +12,200 (net long on NZD)
• Major institutions and corporations appear more optimistic about NZD’s longer-term fundamentals.
Small Traders (Non-Reportable):
• Long Positions: 3,900
• Short Positions: 3,100
• Net Position: +800 (net long on NZD)
• Indicates moderately bullish sentiment among smaller retail traders.
Interpretation:
• Large speculators’ net short positioning points to near-term bearish expectations.
• In contrast, the net long positions held by commercial and small traders suggest that institutional and retail investors expect a longer-term recovery or strengthening of the NZD.
4. Possible Scenarios for NZD/USD
Scenario 1: USD Appreciation (Bearish for NZD/USD)
• Triggers:
• Continued robust performance of the US economy and sustained high interest rates by the Fed.
• Further dovish signals or rate cuts by the RBNZ amid domestic economic challenges.
• Outcome:
• NZD/USD could decline, potentially trading below 0.610.
Scenario 2: Consolidation (Sideways Movement)
• Triggers:
• Mixed economic data from both New Zealand and the United States.
• Both the RBNZ and Fed adopting a “wait-and-see” approach in response to evolving global risks.
• Outcome:
• NZD/USD may range between 0.620 and 0.640.
Scenario 3: NZD Appreciation (Bullish for NZD/USD)
• Triggers:
• A stabilization or modest improvement in New Zealand’s economic data, leading the RBNZ to delay further rate cuts.
• Signs of a slowdown in the US economy prompting expectations of a Fed pivot towards a more dovish policy.
• Improved global risk sentiment reducing demand for the safe-haven USD.
• Outcome:
• NZD/USD could rise above 0.650.
5. Favorable Scenario Based on Current Data
Medium-Term Favorable Scenario for NZD/USD: Consolidation with a Potential for NZD Appreciation
Reasons:
• Although large speculators are net short, the longer-term positions held by commercial and small traders indicate confidence in a rebound for the NZD.
• New Zealand’s economic fundamentals show signs of stabilizing, and a pause in aggressive rate cuts by the RBNZ could support the currency.
• A potential dovish pivot by the Fed in response to slowing growth may weaken the US dollar, thus bolstering the NZD/USD pair.
Target:
• NZD/USD may test levels in the range of 0.640 to 0.650 in the coming months.

Short term bullish Weekly time frame can be seen creating equal lows and a retracement has started towards Fibonacci golden zone.
On Daily time frame
Nzdusd has broken resistance heading towards a demand zone here we can look for a pull back to untested resistance turned support. For a continuation to the upside. For a deeper pull back on higher timeframes
NZD: Another outsized cut, RBNZ turning increasingly negativeThe RBNZ has revised its rate cut projections lower multiple times as the economy has cooled faster than expected. This is in stark contrast to the country's nearest neighbour, Australia, which has not yet cut. Across the Tasman Sea, Australia has positive GDP growth and a steady unemployment rate. Sure, they have stickier inflation, but even that is just 0.2% higher than New Zealand.
Markets have put an 85% chance of the RBA cutting at its next meeting (here is our preview) as well as almost fully pricing in a 50bp move by the RBNZ (45bp in the price). We expect the projections to replicate a similar pattern where rates fall to a terminal 3% rate. However, there are risks of another dovish revision, and we think the balance of risks is tilted to the downside for NZD next week.
The Kiwi dollar is not set to receive the same kind of support destined for the euro and Scandinavian currencies if a Russia-Ukraine truce materialises in February. The US's aggressive protectionist stance targeting China means we retain our bearish bias on NZD/USD, at least through the summer. Explorations below 0.55 are a tangible possibility.
RBNZ Set to Continue Easing This Week; NZD/USD Eyeing ResistanceFollowing the RBNZ cutting its Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 50 basis points (bps) in November 2024, economists and investors expect another bumper 50 bp rate reduction on Wednesday this week – with an outside chance of a more minor 25 bp reduction. A 50 bp (25 bp) adjustment would bring the OCR to 3.75% (4.00%). In addition, markets are also expecting another 75 bps worth of cuts this year.
Sluggish Economic Activity
I’ve observed little reason to stray from market pricing and expect an additional 50 bp cut this week. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth fell into a technical recession in Q3 24 after printing a second consecutive quarter in negative territory; the -1.5% contraction was the lowest figure since Q2 20. Additionally, unemployment has risen to its highest level since late 2020 at 5.1% (Q4 24), and given inflation remains within the RBNZ’s 1-3% target band – Q4 24 inflation increased to 2.2% (matching the 2.2% print in Q3 24) – the central bank has ‘room’ to lower the OCR.
With a 50 bp cut largely baked in, and assuming the central bank follows through, I expect a knee-jerk sell-off across New Zealand dollar (NZD) pairs. That said, most focus will be on any change in the rate statement’s language, press conference commentary, and any revisions in the updated economic projections.
NZD/USD Vulnerable to the Downside
Price action on the monthly timeframe for the NZD/USD (New Zealand dollar versus the US dollar) came within a stone’s throw of testing long-term support from US$0.5511 this month. Anyone following candlestick patterns may note that the current monthly candle is poised to close by way of a bullish engulfing formation. While monthly support is clear, and the bullish engulfing pattern indicates buyers may want to explore higher terrain, the rebound in October 2022 failing to print a meaningful high may concern long-term bulls. Couple this with the overall long-term trend facing south, and any higher rebound could be short-lived.
This brings me to the daily timeframe’s structure. Friday wrapped up pencilling in a dominant higher high (US$0.5738), reaching levels not seen since December 2024. What I also find interesting is although we have a higher high, this move represents a possible D-leg to an equal AB=CD resistance between a 200% extension ratio of US$0.5804 and horizontal resistance at US$0.5774, along with a 100% projection ratio (the equal AB=CD structure) at US$0.5789 nestled within the zone.
Consequently, although monthly price is testing a support area, my base case is that the path of least resistance remains to the downside for the NZD/USD. Daily resistance between US$0.5804 and US$0.5774, therefore, will be on my watchlist this week.

Watch NZDUSD and AUDUSD because of RBNZ & RBA next weekThe RBA and the RBNZ are expected to deliver rate decisions next week, so there might be an slight opportunity for the bulls to capture a move higher, before those Banks deliver. Also, the current weakness in DXY could give a small helping hand for the bulls. That said, the positivity might be short-lived, as both Banks are expected to announce cuts, with the RBNZ potentially going for the bigger 50 bps cut.
Let's see what happens.

NZDUSD Technical and Fundamental AnalysisNZDUSD Technical and Fundamental Analysis
Technical analysis:
Price tested a very strong resistance zone near 0.5665. Every time it was tested the price move down. The odds are that it can move down more today from this zone to 0.5625 ; 0.5607 and 0.5585
Fundamental analysis:
President Trump continues to threat all countries with tariffs.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would impose reciprocal tariffs as soon as Wednesday evening , February 13th, on every country that charges duties on U.S. imports, in a move that ratchets up fears of a widening global trade war and threatens to accelerate U.S. inflation.
This could support the USD strength and can push NZDUSD down even more.

NZDUSD Bullish Flag developing? The NZDUSD currency pair sentiment appears neutral, supported by the longer-term sideways consolidation trading range. The recent price action appears to be an oversold bullish flag pattern, however, it needs to be taken in consideration as a part of the longer-term sideways consolidation. This could be indicative of intraday Bulls and Bears fight for dominance.
The key trading level is at 0.5600, the current swing low range from 12th February 2025. A continuation of the selling pressure below the 05625 level and a daily close below the 0.5600 support level could target additional downside support at 0.5550 followed by the 0.5517 and 0.5500 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, an oversold rally from the current levels and a confirmed breakout above 0.5700 resistance and a daily close above that level would negate the bearish outlook opening the way for a further rally and a retest of 05735 resistance followed by 0.5760 levels.

NZDUSDShort Fundamental Analysis – NZD/USD
1. Context
• Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ)
• Suggests it is near the end of its hiking cycle, with inflation moderately above target but appearing more contained.
• The NZ economy is heavily influenced by dairy exports and overall Asian demand (particularly from China).
• Federal Reserve (Fed)
• Maintains a hawkish stance with high interest rates, backed by strong US economic indicators (GDP ~+2.6%, unemployment ~3.7%).
• The resulting yield differential typically bolsters the USD against lower-yielding currencies like the NZD.
2. Possible Direction
• Bias: Slightly bearish on NZD/USD, given the Fed’s more restrictive policy and uncertainties around global demand for New Zealand’s key exports.
• Alternate Scenario:
• If commodity prices (especially dairy) recover strongly or if Chinese demand rebounds, the NZD may see improved support.
• A dovish pivot by the Fed—should US data soften—could also favor a short-term NZD/USD uptick.
3. Factors to Watch This Week
1. RBNZ Communications
• Policy statements and economic forecasts that might signal a continuation or shift in rate strategy.
2. Commodity Market Developments
• Dairy and agricultural export data can significantly affect the NZD.
3. US Economic Indicators
• Inflation, jobs, and consumer spending data often dictate the Fed’s stance, influencing USD strength.
4. Overall Conclusion
• NZD remains sensitive to external demand and RBNZ’s largely neutral outlook, potentially limiting upward moves.
• USD retains broader support on higher interest rates and resilient economic performance.
• In the near term, NZD/USD could stay pressured unless global commodity demand strengthens or the Fed unexpectedly turns dovish.
