NZDUSD new low pushed the pair down to 0.5709 on Friday, bringing it close to a key support area at 0.5688 to 0.5698. That zone sits just above the 2026 low of 0.5677, which the pair set in early April. As a result, traders now face an important test near the year’s floor.
The pair had climbed to about 0.5862 before it turned lower. A more hawkish-than-expected FOMC decision then drove NZDUSD to its weakest levels since April. Although buyers tried to lift the pair on Thursday, that rebound faded fast and the pair fell again into the close.
NZDUSD New Low Tests Support
Friday’s move showed a steady slide for most of the session. However, the pair did post a small corrective bounce early in the North American session before sellers took control again. That pattern kept pressure on NZDUSD through the day.
The source article said the U.S. dollar kept broad support in the background. Meanwhile, Treasury yields rose further, with both the 2-year and 10-year yields up about 5.8 basis points on the day. The article also said NZDUSD was the weakest major currency pair, down about 0.54% in the session.
Focus Turns to 2026 Low
From a technical view, the 0.5688 to 0.5698 area now stands out as the next key level. If NZDUSD breaks below that band, attention would shift to the 2026 low at 0.5677. Moreover, a move under 0.5677 would add to the bearish bias for the pair.
