NZD/USD rolling over as dairy rebound soursKiwi is looking toppy after printing a shooting star last Thursday, following the bearish reversal through .62764 with two back-to-back declines before easing lower again today. With RSI (14) breaking its uptrend, bullish momentum is waning. While not confirmed by MACD, the Kiwi looks heavy on the charts. Much will be determined by the price action around .6218, a level that thwarted numerous bullish probes in 2024 up until recently.
If we see the price fall below .6218 and hold there, one potential setup would be to sell the break with a tight stop above the level for protection. On the downside, minor support is located below .6200 and around .6175, although there’s nothing meaningful until .6133 where former downtrend resistance intersects with horizontal resistance at .6133.
From a fundamental perspective, Kiwi remains closely correlated with dairy markets, as shown in the bottom pane with a rolling 20-day correlation with whole milk powder futures of 0.94. Dairy prices remain strongly negatively correlated with moves in the US dollar index, making the Kiwi essentially an inverse play on US dollar movements.
Good luck!
