AUD/NZD Price Analysis: Bullish momentum, buyers don't give up

  • AUD/NZD was seen around the upper end of its daily range on Friday.
  • The pair maintains a bullish outlook supported by short-term trend signals.
  • Technicals show mixed bias across indicators, with resistance seen above and long-term averages still pressuring.

AUD/NZD is displaying upward momentum ahead on Friday’s session, trading near the top of its daily range and not far from the 1.0800 zone. The pair has gained on the day, extending its bullish push while short-term indicators strengthen this outlook. A buy signal from the MACD and support from short-term moving averages help confirm the bias, although some indicators like the RSI and Stochastic remain neutral. Traders should be mindful that longer-term SMAs continue to show downside risk.

AUD/NZD maintains a bullish tone as price action presses higher. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive, suggesting momentum is shifting in favor of buyers. Meanwhile, the 10-day Exponential Moving Average and the 10-day Simple Moving Average have both turned supportive, aligning below current prices. The 20-day SMA also leans bullish, helping sustain short-term upside momentum.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers near the neutral 50 mark, while the Bull Bear Power and Stochastic Oscillator also offer limited directional bias. This mixed signal set may keep some traders cautious. Notably, the 100-day and 200-day SMAs remain positioned above current price levels, signaling that broader trends have yet to confirm the recent strength.

Immediate resistance lies at 1.0874, followed by stronger zones at 1.0908 and 1.0936. On the downside, initial support is found at 1.0842, with subsequent levels at 1.0833 and 1.0830. A break above resistance would signal continuation of the bullish trend, but failure to clear those zones may invite short-term pullbacks.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity
Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The Iranian war has again risen
The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.
US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?
The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
