NZD/USD bulls take a breather, after snapping a two-day downtrend, as the quote seesaws around the 0.6300 threshold during Friday’s Asian session.

In doing so, the Kiwi pair fades bounce off 100-SMA and an 11-day-long support line. The pullback also takes place ahead of the resistance line stretched from June 2022.

It’s worth observing that the lower highs of the RSI (14) also invalidate the previous recovery and hence keeping NZD/USD sellers hopeful.

With this in mind, the intraday bears can aim for the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the June-July downside, near 0.6260.

However, the 100-SMA and the aforementioned support line, respectively around 0.6240 and 0.6215, could challenge the NZD/USD sellers afterward.

In a case where the quote drops below 0.6215, the 0.6200 and multiple supports beyond 0.6100 could challenge the further downside.

Alternatively, recovery moves may initially attack the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.6320 before poking the downward sloping resistance line from June, close to 0.6335 by the press time.

In a case where the NZD/USD prices rally beyond 0.6335, the mid-June swing high near 0.6395 and the 0.6400 could lure the bulls.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold bounces off lows, back above $5,100

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
