AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Bulls showing some resilience near 200-hour SMA

Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• The pair extended overnight retracement slide from three-week tops and remained under some selling pressure for the second consecutive session on Friday.

• However, bulls now seemed to show some resilience below 200-hour SMA, albeit negative technical indicators on hourly/daily charts point to further downside.

• A sustained weakness below the mentioned support will reaffirm the bearish set-up and accelerate the slide to 0.7060 intermediate support en-route the 0.70 handle.

• Alternatively, a convincing move beyond the 0.7115-20 region might negate the negative outlook and lift the pair back towards testing the 0.7165-70 supply zone.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
