NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bears keep reins within rising wedge, 0.6190 in the spotlight

  • NZD/USD extends the previous day’s pullback from one-month high inside rising wedge bearish chart pattern.
  • Convergence of 100-SMA, wedge’s support and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement highlights 0.6190 level.
  • Bearish MACD signals, failure to cross descending resistance from late February keep Kiwi pair sellers hopeful.

NZD/USD sellers attack a 0.6200 round figure during a two-day downbeat after refreshing the monthly top. Even so, the Kiwi pair stays within a fortnight-old rising wedge bearish chart pattern during early Tuesday in Europe.

Not only the rising wedge but the bearish MACD signals and repeated failures to cross an upward-sloping resistance line from February 20 also keep NZD/USD sellers hopeful.

However, the 100-SMA joins the stated wedge’s lower line and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s February-March fall to highlight 0.6190 as a tough nut to crack for the bears.

In a case where the quote successfully breaks the 0.6190 support confluence, the odds of witnessing a slump toward the theoretical target surrounding the 0.6000 psychological magnet can’t be ruled out.

During the anticipated fall, the 0.6100 threshold and the monthly low of 0.6084 can act as buffers.

Meanwhile, recovery moves may initially aim for the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.6257 before challenging the aforementioned monthly resistance line, near 0.6275 by the press time.

Even so, the NZD/USD pair sellers remain hopeful unless the quote stays below the aforementioned wedge’s top line, close to 0.6300 as we write.

Overall, NZD/USD remains on the bear’s radar but the pair’s further downside hinges on a 0.6190 breakdown.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.

AUD/USD rises toward three-year highs on RBA rate hike bets

AUD/USD remains stronger for the third successive session, trading around 0.7120 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The pair advances toward its three-year high of 0.7147, last touched on February 12, as the Australian Dollar strengthens following hotter-than-expected inflation data from Australia, reinforcing expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia this year.

Cosmos Hub Price Forecast: ATOM rebounds slightly, bearish outlook remains intact
