NZD/USD continues its winning streak for the fifth successive day on the downbeat US Dollar (USD). The NZD/USD pair trades around 0.6220 during the European hours on Friday. Investors are expected to closely monitor the S&P Global Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data on Friday.

Even positive economic data from the United States (US), including a 0.3% increase in Retail Sales (MoM) for November and reduced Initial Jobless Claims at 202K, failed to underpin the USD. Moreover, the Kiwi Business NZ PMI for November rose to 46.7 from the previous 42.5, which might have provided upward support for the New Zealand Dollar (NZD).

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the 50 level, indicating a bullish sentiment, which suggests that the NZD/USD pair could retest the five-month high at 0.6249 lined up with the 0.6250 major level. If the NZD/USD pair manages to surpass the resistance area, it might find support to venture into the psychological region near 0.6300.

Additionally, the positive positioning of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line above both the centerline and the signal line could serve as confirmation of bullish momentum in the market.

On the downside, a break below the psychological support level of 0.6200 could push the pair to fall to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.6165 before the major support at 0.6150. A decisive break below the level could lead the NZD/USD pair to navigate the region around the 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.6149.

GBP/USD flies to two-week highs, targets 1.3400

GBP/USD trades well above the 1.3300 barrier on Thursday as the Greenback comes under renewed selling pressure following a softer-than-expected US NFP report in June. Meanwhile, Cable extends its multi-day recovery and looks to challenge 1.3400 sooner rather than later.

EUR/USD leaves behind two daily pullbacks in a row and advances to multi-day peaks near 1.1470 on Thursday, partially offsetting the sharp decline in place since June. The pair’s decline follows the intense retracement in the US Dollar, which is particularly sponsored by disheartening prints from June’s Payrolls and the sharp sell-off in USD/JPY. The US markets will be closed on Friday due to the Independence Day holiday.

In a Wednesday report, Hougan argued that the sharp decline in STRC and Strategy's MSTR stock should be viewed as "classic end-of-cycle dynamics" rather than evidence of a broader structural threat to Bitcoin.
