AUD/NZD, AUD/USD and NZD/USD Forecasts – Antipodes Setting Up for a Move?

AUD/NZD Technical Analysis

The Australian dollar initially dropped a bit against the New Zealand dollar on Thursday but found plenty of buyers to jump in and try to send this market to the 1.19 level.

Clearly showing that the Australian dollar is stronger than the New Zealand dollar, as we have seen since the middle of summer in 2025, in a fairly reliable uptrend. It is because of this that the Australian dollar should outperform the New Zealand dollar against other currencies. Short-term pullbacks in this market look like buying opportunities as well.

AUD/USD Technical Analysis

The Australian dollar is struggling against the US dollar, but it has been relatively strong as of late, with the 0.7150 level offering major resistance. If we can break above there, then the market really could start to take off. Out of the two currencies, this one is going to fare better against the US dollar. If we fall from here, I would not be looking to short this market; I would be looking to perhaps jump over to the New Zealand dollar.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis

The New Zealand dollar looks quite a bit weaker, and you can see that the 0.60 level is offering resistance. Therefore, if we fall from here, the 0.5950 level could be targeted. Anything underneath there tests the 50-day EMA. Anything below that, the bottom falls out.

This is a process known as triangulation, where you see the two currencies and how they are doing against each other, and then match them up against the US dollar. In short, if the US dollar falls apart, you want to buy the Australian dollar. If the US dollar starts to strengthen, you want to short the New Zealand dollar. Through this process, you can see that one will outperform the other depending on the direction we turn.
