AUD/NZD continues to skid down on Thursday Asian’s session. The pair opened took multiple support near 1.0460 level.

At the time of writing, AUD/NZD is trading at 1.0460, down 0.09% for the day.

AUD/NZD daily chart

On the daily chart, the AUD/NZD pair has been under the selling from the high of 1.0816 made on June 11. The descending trendline act as a barrier for the bulls. The formation of a hammer candlestick pattern suggests some bounce back in the price.

A sustained move below the intraday low would bring more selling interest in the pair.

In doing so, the first lower target could be found at the previous session’s low of 1.0440.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades in the oversold zone. Any downtick in the MACD would accelerate the selling toward the low of December 3, 2020, at 1.0419.

Next, AUD/NZD bears would target the 1.0364 horizontal support level.

Alternatively, if price moves higher, it would be the 1.0500 horizontal resistance level as the first upside target.

Next, the market participants will keep their eyes on the 1.0530 horizontal resistance level followed by the high of August 4 at 1.0592.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week.

Gold challenges its 200-day SMA near $4,530

Gold’s decline gathers fresh steam, hitting weekly lows while disputing its critical 200-day SMA near $4,530 per troy ounce.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message.
