Rekha Chauhan Independent Analyst

AUD/NZD pares part to its previous day’s gains in Thursday's Asian session. The pair opened higher, albeit fizzled out quickly to touch the low of 1.0587.

At the time of writing, AUD/NZD is trading at 1.0598, down 0.11% for the day.

AUD/NZD daily chart

On the daily chart, the AUD/NZD pair has been trading below the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 1.0634.

As the pair is still performing under pressure, a sustained move below the intraday low would bring more weakness.

In doing so, the first lower target is found at the 1.0575 horizontal support level.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades below the midline with a bearish crossover. Any downtick in the MACD would accelerate the selling toward the 1.0560 horizontal support level.

Next, AUD/NZD bears would target the low of July 27 at 1.0540.

Alternatively, if price moves higher, it would retest the 1.0620 horizontal resistance level.

Further, a daily close above the 20-day SMA would prompt bulls to take over the previous day’s high at 1.0644.

Market Participants will keep their eyes on the 1.0680 horizontal resistance level.

AUD/USD hits three-week highs past 0.7000

USD/JPY flatlines near 158.50 as markets seek direction

USD/JPY steadies around 158.50 in the Asian trading hours on Tuesday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of Japan’s National Consumer Price Index inflation data later on Friday. Meanwhile, elevated US bond yields provide some support to the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen.

Gold just failed at $4,150. This is the next stop

Gold prices trade without a clear direction on Tuesday, hovering around the $4,170 region per troy ounce and still struggling to regain upside traction following Monday’s pullback. In the meantime, lower US Treasury yields and a marked pullback in the US Dollar come in tandem with the yellow metal’s price action.

Dogecoin Price Forecast: DOGE struggles below key moving average resistance

Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading marginally above $0.0800 on Tuesday, up 1% on the day, against lows around $0.0785. The meme coin is cautiously navigating a broader lethargic cryptocurrency market where Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are struggling to gain momentum.

Markets at a turning point: Bitcoin, Gold, FX and Tech react to a heavy macro week

The new trading week opens with a mixed but revealing picture across global markets. Indices, commodities, FX, tech stocks, and cryptocurrencies are all sending one message: risk appetite is alive, but it is cautious, selective, and highly sensitive to macro signals.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
