NZD/USD ran a third straight day of gains from Monday's ~0.575 open to a week high at 0.58632, powered by hawkish RBNZ repricing and a softer USD after cool US CPI. Price is now consolidating around the 0.5840-0.5845 SMA confluence, having drifted back below EMA(20) as RSI(14) cools back toward the mid-40s. The 0.58295 low has held on the pullback with the broader uptrend structure intact above EMA(50).

Higher highs and higher lows, consolidating below week high.
NZDUSD has trended higher since Monday's open, driven by hawkish RBNZ repricing and a softer USD after back-to-back weak US CPI/PPI prints.

The confluence zone that capped for days is now acting as the pivot beneath current price.
