In the Wednesday session, the NZD/USD pair rides a strong bullish wave, with a recent increase of 1.28%. The uptick made the pair jump above its 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating that the outlook turned positive for the pair. However, as indicators approach overbought conditions, a consolidation may be incoming.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that NZD/USD is approaching overbought territory. The positive trend evident over the past few days, along with the recent surge, reveals that the strength is currently with buyers. However, this upward pressure may soon decrease, as the RSI nearing overbought conditions often signals future consolidation or potential reversal.

NZD/USD daily chart

The hourly chart shows that RSI readings exceeded 70, reinforcing indications of overbought conditions. The recent Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showing flat green bars indicates sustained but flat positive momentum.

NZD/USD hourly chart

In conclusion, the technical indicators for NZD/USD suggest strong buyer momentum. However, the RSI's proximity to overbought conditions hints at a potential easing of this upward pressure. This, coupled with the strong bullish trend indicated by the jumping above longer-term SMAs, presents a positive outlook but demands careful observation for potential corrections.

EUR/USD flirts with three-day lows near 1.1570

EUR/USD resumes its march south on Thursday, revisting the 1.1570 region, or three-day lows, ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The intense sell-off in the pair comes in response to the solid performance of the US Dollar amid the still unresolved crisis in the Middle East. Moving forward, investors are expected to shift their focus to the release of the US NFP on Friday.

GBP/USD stays offered near 1.3340

GBP/USD fades Wednesday’s uptick and trades with decent losses in the 1.3340 zone in the latter part of Thursday’s session. Cable’s weakness, alongside the rest of the risk complex, follows the strong performance of the Greenback amid intense geopolitical jitters.

Gold: further weakness could challenge $5,000

Gold comes under fresh selling pressure on Thursday, slipping back below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce. Persistent strength in the US Dollar (USD) is preventing the yellow metal from building a meaningful recovery, even as markets remain risk-averse amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

XRP rises as crypto market steadies despite Middle East war

Ripple (XRP) continues to demonstrate notable resilience as the cryptocurrency market navigates the persistent war in the Middle East after the United States (US) and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.

China’s economic data are often treated with a degree of caution by global investors. The challenge is not necessarily that the numbers are incorrect, but that they can describe very different parts of a vast and complex economy. Nowhere is that more evident than in China’s PMIs.
