NZDUSD INTRADAY Bullish consolidation The NZDUSD currency pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation towards the breakout level, previous resistance, and now a new support zone.
The key trading level is at 0.5730 level, the previous consolidation price range and also the support trendline zone. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 0.5730 level could target the upside resistance at 0.5770 followed by the 0.5800 and 0.5825 levels over the longer timeframe.
Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 0.5730 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 0.5690 support level followed by 0.5635.

New Zealand dollar steady as retail sales sparkleThe New Zealand dollar is showing little movement on Monday. NZD/USD is trading at 0.5745 in the European session, up 0.07% on the day.
The week started on a high note in New Zealand, as retail sales jumped 0.9% q/q in the fourth quarter of 2024, after a revised flat reading in the third quarter and above the market estimate of 0.6%. This was the strongest gain in three years. Most sub-categories posted gains as the improvement was felt across the economy. Annually, retail sales posted a small gain of 0.2% in the fourth quarter following a 2.2% decline in Q3. This was the first gain since Q3 of 2022.
The strong impressive rebound in retail sales is a sign that lower interest rates are filtering through the economy and boosting weak growth. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has been aggressive, chopping rates by 50 basis points in October, November and February. The cash rate is down to 3.75%, its lowest level since Oct. 2022. Consumers are showing improved confidence due to lower borrowing costs and are opening up the purse strings.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand plans to continue cutting rates but in a more gradual fashion. Governor Adrian Orr signaled at last week's meeting that he expects to cut rates by 25 basis points in both April and May, provided that economic conditions evolve as projected.
In the US, the Services PMI for February surprised on the downside and contracted to 49.7, down from 52.9 in January and below the market estimate of 53.0. This marked the lowest level since January 2023. The services sector, which has been the major driver of the US economy, showed strong growth until the end of 2024 and has weakened for two straight months. The Manufacturing PMI improved to 51.6, up from 51.2 and above the market estimate of 51.5.
0.5731 is a weak support level. Below, there is support at 0.5688
0.5783 and 0.5826 are the next resistance lines

NZDUSD TRADE PLAN🎯 Optimized Trade Plan
Entry Zone: Between 0.57351 and 0.57214 (watch for bullish confirmations such as rejection wicks or bullish engulfing candles).
Stop Loss (SL): Below 0.57136, ensuring protection against liquidity grabs.
Take Profit (TP): At 0.58116, which aligns with a strong supply zone and premium pricing.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Targeting a 1:4+ risk-reward ratio, making this a high-probability trade.
If price rejects before touching 0.57351, a more aggressive entry can be taken at 0.57415, but this increases risk.
Confirmation Checklist Before Entering:
✅ Price reacts to 0.57351 zone with bullish rejection.
✅ Bullish candlestick patterns form (e.g., bullish engulfing, pin bar, or strong wick rejection).
✅ DXY (US Dollar Index) shows signs of weakness, supporting NZD strength.
✅ Volume increases as price enters the demand zone.
Alternative Scenario (If Price Breaks Below 0.57136)
If 0.57136 is broken and structure shifts bearish, the setup is invalidated.
This could indicate a deeper retracement toward 0.57000 or lower before finding buyers.
In this case, a wait-and-see approach is better before re-entering.
📌 Final Thoughts
Primary Bias: Bullish, expecting a dip to equilibrium (~0.57351) before a strong rally.
Alternative Bias: If price breaks 0.57136, re-evaluate for further downside.
Trade Management: If price reacts aggressively, scaling into the position could be a good strategy.
