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.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
