The NZD/JPY pair has seen a strong upside push, trading near the 87.50 zone with around 0.80% gains ahead of the Asian session on Tuesday. The pair is positioned mid-range within its recent fluctuation, reflecting a steady bullish tone as traders assess broader risk sentiment. Key technical indicators are signaling mixed but generally positive momentum, adding to the overall buy sentiment.

Technically, the pair shows a bullish outlook, supported by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), which confirms upward momentum, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), hovering in the 60s, reflecting neutral but slightly supportive conditions. Meanwhile, the Stochastic %K (14, 3, 3) remains in the 80s, also hinting at neutral bias, while the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) around the 190s and the Ultimate Oscillator (7, 14, 28) in the 50s add further stability to the pair's stance.

In terms of moving averages, the shorter-term 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) both align with the broader buy signal, reinforcing the positive tone seen in the 20-day and 100-day SMAs. However, the longer-term 200-day SMA presents a contrasting signal, suggesting caution over the medium term.

Immediate support is identified around 86.90, followed by deeper levels at 86.23 and 86.15. On the upside, resistance is likely near 87.64, with a stronger barrier around 87.96, which could limit further gains in the near term.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
