Despite recently bouncing off an intraday low of 0.7007, NZD/USD remains pressured during early Tuesday.

The kiwi pair’s latest bounce could be linked to the failures to conquer a confluence of 100-SMA and an ascending trend line from July 28, near 0.7005.

Even if the pair manages to break the 0.7005 support, the 0.7000 round figure and 200-SMA near 0.6995 challenge the NZD/USD sellers before directing them to the monthly low near 0.6950.

On the contrary, the quote’s rebound needs to cross the previous week’s top surrounding 0.7065 to aim for the 0.7100 threshold.

During the rise, the early August tops surrounding 0.7075 and 0.7090 may offer intermediate halts whereas July’s peak of 0.7106 can act as an extra filter to the north.

Overall, NZD/USD grinds lower but is near to the key support and hence needs a strong catalyst to conquer the same.

GBP/USD loses momentum, flirts with 1.3200

GBP/USD is struggling to maintain its positive bias on Thursday, retreating toward the 1.3200 region in response to the pick in the buying interest around the Greenback.

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.
