The US dollar is continuing its run to the downside. Th slide in yields continue to support the dollar selling. The 10 year yield is now down -5.1 basis points at 4.474%.

The USD is the weakest vs the NZD with the greenback falling -0.86%. The dollar is moving down -0.74% vs the AUD as well.

A snapshot of the declines capacity major currencies is currently showing:

EUR -0.40%

GBP -0.44%

JPY -0.34%

CHF -0.53%

CAD -0.23%

The NZDUSD is gaining momentum, breaking above the January high of 0.57226 and reaching its highest level since December 18. While this move signals short-term bullish strength, the pair is still trading near its lowest levels in over two years, with the broader trend remaining bearish since September 2022.

The break above the 2025 high opens the door for further upside, even if this rally is just a correction within a longer-term downtrend. If buying pressure continues, the next key resistance comes at the 38.2% retracement of the September decline at 0.5844, which closely aligns with the 100-day moving average.

Closer targets come in at 0.57535, and 0.57964 ahead of the 100-day and 38.2% retracement targets.

A push toward this level is possible if momentum holds, making it a key technical zone to watch.

Looking at the weekly chart below, the NZDUSD bottomed in 2025 just shy of the 2022 low at 0.55109. The double bottom give traders the springboard for a corrective move higher. There is a swing area target at 0.5739 – 0.5772. Above that and the 38.2% comes more into focus.

NOTE. The NZDUSD high reached at 0.74625 in 2021, bottomed in 2022 and bounced to 0.6563 in 2023. There is room to roam to the upside if the bias can remain bullish in the short term (watch 0.5683 to 0.5694 as support).

The AUDUSD is gaining strength, reaching its highest levels since mid-December. The next upside target is 0.63986, followed by the 38.2% retracement of the September decline at 0.64139. Beyond that, the 100-day moving average at 0.64473 serves as another key resistance level. If bullish momentum continues, these levels remain in focus as potential upside targets, signaling further recovery within the broader trend.
