AUD/NZD daily chart

On the daily chart, the AUD/NZD pair has been trading below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 1.0623. 

A  sustained move above the intraday low would bring more selling opportunities. 

In doing so, the levels last seen in 2020 could be back in action with the first lower target at 1.0512 low of December 9,  2020, followed by the previous day’s low in the vicinity of 1.0500.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator holds in the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD would accelerate the selling pressure toward December 4, a low of 1.0506.

Alternatively, if price moves higher, it would retest the 1.0585 horizontal resistance level.

Further, AUD/NZD bulls would aim for the previous day’s high at 1.0641

The market participants will keep their eyes on the 1.0697  horizontal resistance level.
