In Wednesday's session, the NZD/USD extended its recent decline, falling by 0.27% to 0.6050. The technical indicators remain bearish, indicating a continuation of the selling pressure that has dominated recent trading sessions.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen into oversold territory, with a value of 34 and a sharply declining slope. This suggests that selling pressure is increasing and that the bears are gaining strength but that a correction might be in the horizon. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram is flat and red, indicating a bearish outlook. As long as the RSI remains below 50 and the MACD remains red, the technical outlook will remain bearish for the NZD/USD but sellers shouldn’t take off the table a healthy correction.

NZD/USD daily chart

The overall outlook for the NZD/USD remains bearish. The pair has been trading below key support levels for several sessions and has yet to show any signs of a recovery. The 0.6100 area where the 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) remains a key level to watch, as a consolidation below this level could open the door for a further decline towards 0.6000 while an upwards break of this level might trigger a recovery.

GBP/USD holds recovery gains near 1.3400 despite soft UK CPI data

GBP/USD clings to recovery gains near 1.3400 in European trading on Wednesday. The UK annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation cooled to 2.6% in June against the market forecast of 2.7%, failing to deter the British Pound's rebound from weekly troughs. However, the pair's further upside could be limited by ongoing Mideast tensions and sustained US Dollar demand as a haven.

EUR/USD gains ground above 1.1400 on hawkish ECB tone

The EUR/USD pair holds positive ground near 1.1410 during the early European trading hours, bolstered by a hawkish tone from the European Central Bank. However, the potential upside for the major pair might be limited amid escalating military tensions and recent retaliatory airstrikes between the US and Iran.

Gold ease from two-week top as energy-driven inflation fears bolster Fed hike bets

Gold retreats slightly from a two-week high touched earlier this Wednesday, albeit it retains an intraday bullish bias through the first half of the European session. Hopes that US-Iran diplomacy could ease energy prices and temper hawkish US Federal Reserve expectations undermine the US Dollar, which is seen supporting the commodity. In fact, top negotiators for Iran and the US signaled that they have not walked away from talks.

Cardano: Short-term recovery lacks retail support

Cardano price edges lower after the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $1.770 capped two consecutive days of recovery seen earlier this week. ADA futures point to waning retail traction as Open Interest and trading volume decline amid elevated long liquidations. The technical outlook for ADA is bearish, as momentum remains subdued below a resistance trendline near $0.1782.

Chip stocks are more volatile than Oil

I continue to start the day by looking at these two charts: US crude & Kospi. The former is extending gains, trading above $86 per barrel for WTI and $92 per barrel for Brent, while the Kospi is up more than 4.5%, led higher by Korean chipmakers following a similar jump in VanEck's Semiconductor ETF yesterday.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
