The weekly framework remains bearish on D1, but mixed momentum and a bullish H4 recovery make the path conditional rather than one-directional.
Daily check — 23 October 2026: The latest completed D1 close was 89.062 on 22 October 2026. It remains below the upper formal invalidation level 90.388; the lower calibrated boundary 87.957 is an extension/confirmation boundary. The authored weekly thesis remains valid.
NZD/JPY Weekly Forecast at a Glance
In brief
The weekly bias is bearish, although bullish H4 momentum and mixed D1 momentum leave room for consolidation or a countertrend recovery.
The controlling D1 picture is bearish: the 88.793 close is below the 89.13612 EMA20, 90.48338 EMA50 and 92.54713 SMA200, while both the EMA50 and SMA200 slopes are falling. The close sequence is mixed, so the broader downside structure is not advancing with uniform momentum.
H4 currently complicates the D1 thesis rather than replacing it. Its 89.324 close is above the 88.91157 EMA20 and 88.80515 EMA50, with positive MACD and RSI at 61.58, indicating tactical recovery pressure. A move through the supplied H4 resistance at 89.424 could keep that pressure active, while the D1 framework remains centered on 88.231 support and 90.11377 resistance.

Current NZD/JPY Price and Weekly Market Context
D1 controls the weekly thesis: the 88.793 close sits below the EMA20 at 89.13612, EMA50 at 90.48338 and SMA200 at 92.54713, with falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes. Momentum is mixed rather than uniformly bearish, while H4 is bullish with a close at 89.324 above both H4 moving averages. The result is a bearish weekly structure with a credible tactical recovery risk.

Is NZD/JPY Bullish or Bearish This Week?
The favored scenario remains a bearish D1 framework, but the mixed close sequence and bullish H4 momentum support a genuine two-sided base case. The bullish alternative requires recovery through the supplied H4 and D1 resistance structure, while the bearish alternative gains relevance if support gives way; stable volatility suggests that level development may remain orderly rather than implying direction.
Scenario 1 of 3Bullish reversal
- D1 confirmation
- A completed D1 close above 90.38755 would strengthen the bullish alternative by moving price beyond the supplied upper structural boundary and away from the current D1 moving-average pressure.
- H4 tactical signal
- A move through the supplied H4 resistance at 89.424 would provide tactical evidence that the H4 recovery is extending toward the D1 resistance at 90.11377.
- Targets
- 90.48338, 92.451
- Scenario failure condition
- The bullish alternative would materially weaken if the H4 recovery fails around 89.424 and price returns toward the D1 support at 88.231 without establishing progress through 90.11377.
Scenario 2 of 3Base / neutral
- D1 confirmation
- The base scenario is supported by the mixed D1 close sequence and the conflict between bearish D1 structure and bullish H4 momentum, with price remaining between the supplied weekly support and resistance framework.
- H4 tactical signal
- H4 would continue to support consolidation if its bullish momentum persists without producing a completed D1 move above the upper structural boundary or a clear D1 loss of 88.231.
- Targets
- The consolidation framework is bounded by the supplied D1 support at 88.231 and primary resistance at 90.11377, with H4 reference levels at 89.219 and 89.424 helping describe the tactical middle of that structure.
- Scenario failure condition
- The base case would materially weaken if a completed D1 close moves beyond the supplied upper or lower structural boundaries, replacing two-sided consolidation with a clearer directional framework.
Scenario 3 of 3Bearish continuation
- D1 confirmation
- A completed D1 close below 88.231 would strengthen the bearish continuation case by demonstrating that the primary supplied support is no longer containing the downside structure.
- H4 tactical signal
- H4 bearish pressure would become more relevant if price loses the supplied H4 support at 89.219 and the recovery structure no longer holds above the H4 moving averages.
- Targets
- 87.54656 (projected), 86.86212 (projected)
- Scenario failure condition
- The bearish continuation case would materially weaken if H4 strength carries price through 89.424 and D1 then progresses toward 90.11377 rather than retesting 88.231.
NZD/JPY D1 Outlook and H4 Technical Triggers
The daily timeframe controls the weekly thesis. H4 evidence is used only for earlier confirmation, tactical warning and scenario-failure context. Complete live H4, H1 and intraday readings remain on the Technical page.
D1 Price Action and Market Structure
The 88.793 D1 close is below the 89.011 Bollinger middle band and below the 89.13612 EMA20, 90.48338 EMA50 and 92.54713 SMA200. The close sequence is mixed, which tempers the bearish structural reading, but the falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes preserve a negative longer-timeframe backdrop.
H4 Tactical Triggers
H4 is tactically bullish: the 89.324 close is above the 88.86125 Bollinger middle band, the 88.91157 EMA20 and the 88.80515 EMA50. RSI at 61.58 and a positive MACD histogram at 0.083536 support recovery pressure, while the 89.424 H4 resistance and 89.219 H4 support define the immediate tactical contest. This context can delay or complicate the D1 bearish thesis, but it does not replace it.
Technical Indicators at a Glance
Automated technical summary
The technical configuration is mixed across timeframes. D1 is bearish with price below the principal moving averages and falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes, while H4 is bullish with price above its moving averages and positive MACD readings. Stable volatility and the mixed D1 close sequence argue for conditional level-based interpretation.

D1 price at 88.793 is below the Bollinger middle band at 89.011 and above the lower band at 87.90823, placing the close in the lower half of the supplied D1 envelope. H4 price at 89.324 is above its middle band at 88.86125 and below its upper band at 89.48985, consistent with a tactical recovery that has not reached the upper envelope.

The D1 close below the EMA20, EMA50 and SMA200, combined with falling EMA50 and SMA200 slopes, is the strongest structural support for the bearish weekly view. H4 price above the EMA20 and EMA50 shows that the shorter timeframe is applying countertrend pressure rather than confirming the D1 direction.

One ATR either side of the latest close. A measure of move size, not a price target.
Stable volatility points to a measured trading environment rather than a directional signal. The D1 ATR reference of 0.68444 is used in the supplied bearish projected targets, while H4 ATR at 0.27681 describes a smaller tactical movement scale.
- D1 ATR
- 0.68444 (0.77%)
- H4 ATR

Technical conclusion: The main weekly thesis is bearish because D1 price structure remains below its key moving averages and both longer moving-average slopes are falling. The strongest counterargument is the bullish H4 configuration, supported by higher H4 RSI, positive MACD and price above H4 moving averages. The next important references are 88.231 support, 89.219 and 89.424 on H4, and 90.11377 resistance; the bearish projected ATR-based references are 87.54656 and 86.86212.

NZD/JPY Weekly Support, Resistance and Invalidation
| Level | Role | Timeframe | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 88.231 | Primary support | D1 | A completed D1 close below this supplied support would strengthen the bearish continuation scenario. |
| 90.11377 | Primary resistance | D1 | This is the first supplied D1 resistance above the 88.793 reference close and the key level for judging whether the H4 recovery is reaching the weekly structure. |
| 90.48338 | Secondary resistance | D1 | This level is both the supplied secondary D1 resistance and the D1 EMA50, linking structural resistance with moving-average pressure. |
| 92.451 | Higher resistance | D1 | This is the higher supplied resistance and bullish target reference if the recovery progresses beyond the nearer D1 resistance structure. |
| 89.219 | Tactical support | H4 | This supplied H4 support helps define whether the current tactical recovery remains intact. |
| 89.424 | Tactical resistance | H4 | A move through this supplied H4 resistance would provide early evidence of further countertrend recovery. |

NZD/JPY Outlook for 18–24 October 2026
NZD/JPY enters 18–24 October 2026 with a bearish D1 structure, as the 88.793 close remains below the EMA20, EMA50 and SMA200 and the EMA50 and SMA200 slopes are falling. That evidence carries greater weekly weight than the bullish H4 recovery, but mixed momentum and a mixed D1 close sequence prevent a one-sided reading.
The tactical map is conditional: H4 strength above 89.219 and through 89.424 would keep the recovery case active toward 90.11377, while weakness through 88.231 would align the shorter timeframe with the D1 thesis and expose the supplied bearish projected ATR-based references at 87.54656 and 86.86212. The 22 Oct 2026 00:45 GMT+3 CPI q/q event is the principal scheduled catalyst.
Weekly Forecast Risks and What Would Change the Outlook
- H4 countertrend recovery: H4 RSI at 61.58, positive MACD readings and a close at 89.324 above the H4 EMA20 and EMA50 could delay bearish continuation and keep price focused on 89.424 and 90.11377.
- Mixed D1 momentum and close sequence: The mixed D1 close sequence and positive D1 MACD histogram against a negative MACD backdrop mean the bearish structure is not supported by uniformly weakening momentum.
- New Zealand CPI q/q event: The high-impact release scheduled for 22 Oct 2026 00:45 GMT+3 may produce volatility or repricing in NZD/JPY, with the direction and magnitude of any reaction not supplied.
- Stable volatility environment: Stable volatility may allow consolidation and slower level development, reducing the immediacy of either directional scenario without providing a directional signal.
Formal weekly invalidation: The bearish weekly thesis is formally invalidated by one completed D1 close above 90.38755. One completed D1 close below 87.95722 confirms lower structural extension and continuation.
