NZD/USD Price Analysis: Maintains its position below 0.6000 ahead of US jobs data

NZD/USD consolidates below the psychological level before US Jobless Claims.
Nine-day EMA at 0.5952 could act as the key support aligned to the 0.5950 major level.

NZD/USD retreats from the weekly high, hovering below the 0.6000 psychological level during the European hours on Thursday. The NZD/USD pair could find support at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.5952 lined up with a major level at 0.5950.

A decisive break below the level could influence the bears of the NZD/USD pair to navigate the region around 0.5900 psychological level following the two-week low at 0.5859.

However, the technical indicators for the NZD/USD pair do indeed paint a bullish picture. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) being above the 50 level signals upward support, indicating a strong momentum in favor of the pair.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, positioned above the centerline and showing divergence above the signal line, further suggests a bullish momentum in the NZD/USD pair.

On the upside, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 0.6025 appears to be the immediate resistance. A firm breakthrough above the latter could support the NZD/USD pair to explore the region around the major level at 0.6050 followed by the 50% retracement at 0.6099 level.

AUD/USD falters just above 0.7000; looks at the jobs data

AUD/USD has briefly managed to surpass the 0.7000 threshold on Wednesday, although the move rapidly dissipated following higher-than-estimated US inflation data in September, which has eventually lent extra legs to the Greenback. Moving forward, the release of the labour market report will take centre stage in Australia on Thursday.

USD/JPY consolidates near 158.50; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

USD/JPY stays range-bound near 158.50 in the Asian session on Wednesday, with looming intervention risks supporting the Japanese Yen and capping upside amid a softer US Dollar. However, geopolitical uncertainties act as a tailwind for the safe-haven USD and the pair. Traders also seem hesitant ahead of the release of the latest US inflation figures.

Gold remains offered below $4,100

Gold adds to the weekly bearish tone and slips back below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. Indeed, the precious metal continues to suffer the stronger US Dollar and rising US Treasury yields as bets for extra tightening by the Fed remain on the rise following US inflation figures.

Bitcoin and Gold Forecast: BTC and XAU drop after hot US CPI

Bitcoin (BTC) is edging lower toward $82,000 on Wednesday as headwinds from sticky inflation in the United States (US) force investors to reevaluate their positioning. Gold (XAU/USD) remains under sustained selling pressure, trading below $4,100 and falling for a third consecutive day. As the correction intensifies, a retest of key $4,000 support appears likely unless bearish momentum abates.

Stock futures just went red on the CPI. Here's what the bond market is pricing that equities haven't caught up to

Since late June, the bond market has been pricing in a Federal Reserve (Fed) that keeps raising rates into 2027, and most US stocks have already been marked down for it. The S&P 500 hasn't, because a handful of AI-linked giants make up much of the index and their prices haven't followed the rest.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
