Today's Scenario: - NZD/USD is exhibiting mostly stable price action around the 0.6285-0.6280 range, moving within a symmetrical triangle pattern that has been in place since last Friday.

Despite this, buyers of the Kiwi pair remain optimistic due to the occurrence of a "golden cross" on the hourly chart. This golden cross signifies a bullish signal as the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) intersects and moves above the 200-period SMA.

Buy Scenario: - In addition to the golden cross, the RSI (14) indicator is maintaining a steady level, further supporting the likelihood of a gradual upward movement.

However, for confirmation, NZD/USD buyers will need to surpass the upper boundary of the triangle pattern, currently around 0.6300.

It is important to note that the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, derived from the downward movement observed between May 11 and May 12, near 0.6310, could serve as a significant resistance level for sellers before potentially pushing the price towards the monthly high around 0.6385. Till we do not advise to buy NZD/USD.

Sell Scenario: - Conversely, a downside break of the lower boundary of the triangle pattern, approximately at 0.6275, does not necessarily indicate a clear advantage for NZD/USD bears. The presence of the 50-period SMA and 200-period SMA around 0.6270 and 0.6260, respectively, could impede further downward moves.

Furthermore, it is crucial to monitor the ascending support line that has been in place for the past week, currently situated around 0.6215. A break below this trendline would be significant for sellers to establish control over the pair. Till we do not advise to sell NZD/USD.

Support and Resistance Level: -
