The AUD/NZD has climbed nearly 0.6% as the Aussie (AUD) rallies against the Kiwi (NZD) following two straight weeks of declines.

Hourly candles have the AUD/NZD running straight into the 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) just south of 1.0860. The pair was constrained by the 50-hou SMA following early November's decline from 1.0900, and now the AUD/NZD finds itself trading into the top end of the constraining pattern between the two moving averages.

Monday's clean break upwards from 1.0780 sees the pair pushing through a descending trendline drawn from November's peak bids near 1.0940, and the challenge for bidders will be to keep the momentum going.

On the daily candlesticks, the AUD/NZD looks set to struggle in the midrange after failing to make a firm downside break of the 200-day SMA, and the long-term trend of the AUD/NZD looks set to remain sideways for the foreseeable future.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
