NZD/USD pares the biggest weekly gain since late January as it picks up bids to refresh its intraday high near 0.6220 heading into Monday’s European session. In doing so, the Kiwi pair takes a U-turn from three-week-long horizontal support, amid an oversold RSI (14) line, to print the first daily run-up in three.

That said, the quote’s latest rebound pushes back the NZD/USD prices above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of its March-April upside.

However, a convergence of the 200-SMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement, near 0.6230-35, guards the NZD/USD pair’s immediate upside.

Following that, a quick run-up towards the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of near 0.6270 can’t be ruled out. Though, the 0.6300 and mid-April high of around 0.6315 could challenge the Kiwi pair’s further advances before directing the bulls towards the yearly top marked the last month around 0.6385.

On the other hand, a daily closing below the aforementioned horizontal support comprising levels marked since April 25, around 0.6190, could recall the NZD/USD bears targeting the monthly low of 0.6110.

Though, multiple levels marked near the 0.6100 round figure and the yearly low marked in March around 0.6085 could challenge the Kiwi pair sellers afterward.

GBP/USD climbs to two-day highs past 1.3200

EUR/USD stays consolidative around 1.1370

EUR/USD regains momentum and trades with modest gains around 1.1370 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair sets aside three daily declines in a row and picks up pace on the back of the lacklustre performance of the US Dollar, particularly after US data failed to reinforce Fed rate hike bets.

Micron prints perfect, and now the chart has to answer

Memory’s biggest name just delivered the cleanest quarter of its life, and the most interesting thing about it is that the stock isn’t sure what to do with it. Micron closed out fiscal Q3 with revenue of $41.5 billion, up 346% on the year, a fifth straight record. Gross margin came in at 84.9%, up from 39% the same quarter a year ago. Earnings landed at $25.11 against a Street sitting near $20.49.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
