AUD/USD – NZD/USD

AUDUSD beats 7335/40 but then wiped out the gains as we traded back to 7310 before a recovery to 7373.

NZDUSD in a slow painful bull trend but hard to hold longs over the past 2 weeks, with a gain one day & a loss the next.

Daliy Analysis

AUDUSD held above 7335/40 over night for the next target of 7360/80 but we topped exactly here in this slow moving market. A break higher retests resistance at the September recovery high at 7408/13. We should struggle but shorts need stops above 7425. A break higher is a buy signal.

Gains are likely to be limited in this slow bull trend but the downside is likely to be limited too. First support at 7340/30 but below here 7320 risks a slide to support at 7285/75. Longs need stops below 7265.

NZDUSD beats strong resistance at the late 2018 high of 6965/70 to hit the next target of 6985 but only as far as 11 pips from the next target of 7015/25. A break above 7035 targets 7050/60.

First support in the bull trend at 6955/45. However below 6935 meet a buying opportunity at 6895/85 with stops below 6870.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
