NZD/JPY bulls command and approach cycle-highs for a retest

  • NZD/JPY rallies 0.70% to stand at 91.00 as buyers take control.
  • The cross seems to be on its way to retest last Friday’s highs around  91.15.
  • Daily chart: RSI is approaching overbought territory, and MACD exhibits increased buying momentum.
  • Despite the overbought status in the four-hour chart, the overall trend remains bullish above mains SMAs.

In Friday's session, the NZD/JPY was seen at around 91.00, marking a 0.70% upward rally. On the larger canvas, the pair's trajectory appears bullish, with buyers making strong headway on the daily chart. Meanwhile, the four-hour view suggests a heavier pressure with indicators seated deep in overbought territory, hinting at a potential downward correction in the short term.


From a technical perspective, the indicators on the daily chart reflect a strengthening bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching overbought conditions, which tend to be considered bearish but has not yet signalled reversal. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) displays rising green bars, pointing towards a persistent bullish force. Furthermore, the pair's position above its 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) validates that the upward trajectory is not only a short-term fluctuation but also has solidification in a broader time frame. 

Zooming into the shorter time frame, the four-hour chart portrays a similar picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands above 30, and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints higher red bards aligning with the daily chart’s outlook.

 Although the overbought conditions may seem concerning for the buyers, the strength of the bulls is indisputable, painting a short-term bullish outlook. However, investors must consider potential profit-taking since significant overbought conditions generally lead to a near-term retracement. 


Support Levels: 90.50, 90.00, 89.90.
Resistance Levels: 91.15, 91.30, 91.50.

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. The pair’s pullback comes on the back of the strong rebound in the US Dollar after Chair Warsh delivered a hawkish message in Jackson Hole, while the US NFP Annual Revision came in at -79K.

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. The yellow metal’s increasing weakness comes in response to the generalised upbeat tone in the US Dollar and the widespread rebound in US Treasury yields, as investors continue to reprice a Fed rate hike in September.

Week ahead: RBNZ and BoC decide on rates ahead of all-important US NFP
The US dollar staged a modest recovery this week, perhaps as traders decided to cover some of their short positions amid slightly stickier or in-line US PCE inflation numbers for July, confounding expectations of softer prints amid the softness revealed in the CPI data for the month.
CFTC Report: CAD short covering leads; Gold buying surges
The week in one sentence: speculative positioning shifted more constructively in the week to August 25. CAD short covering led the move, followed by a broad reduction in EUR shorts and renewed Gold buying. GBP and VIX positioning also improved, while JPY positioning deteriorated and WTI flows diverged from weaker prices.
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. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
