NZD/USD is back pressuring against 0.6942/45 – Credit Suisse

NZD/USD is back pressuring against the 0.6942/45 resistance and analysts at Credit Suisse look for a clear break in due course, with the next key level at 0.6970. 

Key quotes

“NZD/USD is making another attempt at the key 2019 and recent highs resistance at 0.6942/45. Although we might see another cap here again, with a major base in place, as well as the recently completed bull ‘triangle’, we stay biased higher and look for an eventual breakout.”

“Beyond 0.6945 would see the December 2018 high at 0.6970 next, where we would expect to see another pause. Removal of here in due course should subsequently see an acceleration of upside momentum, up to the June 2018 high at 0.7054/60 and eventually 0.7111/58.”

“First support is seen at 0.6905, then 0.6879/62, below which would trigger a correction back to the ‘neckline’ to the large base at 0.6811/6796. Whilst not our base case, removal of 0.6811/6796 would suggest an even deeper correction lower and see a move back to 0.6753/46, ahead of0 .6679/75, which ideally then holds if reached.”

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path. 

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.
