Rekha Chauhan Independent Analyst

The AUD/NZD seesaws in the Asain session on the last trading day of the week. The pair confides in a narrow trading band of 1.0750-1.0770 with modest losses.

At the time of writing, the AUD/NZD trades at 1.0762, down 0.07% on the day.

AUD/NZD daily chart

On the daily chart, the cross has been consolidating near the 1.0750 key psychological mark. On moving higher, the first area of resistance would be the 50-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.0800 followed by May 4 high at 1.0824.

The next area of resistance would be the 1.0845 horizontal resistance level.

Alternatively, the oversold Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates stretched selling opportunities. However, any downtick could propel the prevailing downward trend. In doing so, the first stoppage could be the lows of May 7 at 1.0740.

Market participants would next be looking out for the 1.0720 horizontal support level followed by monthly lows at 1.0698.

Japanese Yen gains ground as traders await Fed rate decision

The USD/JPY pair loses ground to near 160.25 during the early European trading hours. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision under new Chair Kevin Warsh later on Wednesday.

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7050; looks to Fed for fresh impetus

AUD/USD is consolidating above mid-0.7000s in the Asian session on Wednesday as traders await the outcome of a two-day FOMC meeting due later in the day. In the meantime, the optimism over an interim peace deal between the US and Iran keeps the US Dollar bulls on the defensive. This, along with the RBA's hawkish pause on Tuesday, acts as a tailwind for the pair.

Gold trades with mild negative bias amid some repositioning ahead of Fed rate decision

Gold edges lower during the Asian session, though it holds above the $4,300 mark as bulls opt to lighten their bets ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC policy decision. In the meantime, the commodity remains below the weekly swing high, touched on Monday, and a technically significant 200-day SMA.

DOGE near breakout, SHIB at its ceiling and PEPE leads meme coin recovery

Meme coins are approaching a key technical level, which could determine the next directional bias. Dogecoin struggles to overcome a major resistance level, and Shiba Inu recovery lost momentum near a crucial barrier. Meanwhile, Pepe extends its rally for a sixth straight day, raising the prospects of further upside if momentum persists.

The most important event will be the Fed meeting with Mr. Warsh now in charge

The most important event will be the Fed meeting on Wednesday, with Mr. Warsh now in charge. As more than one analyst points out, the case for holding rates the same is strengthened by the Iran deal and the prospect of the Strait re-opening, although nobody thinks Warsh can marshal enough doves to do a cut this time.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
