NZD/USD Price Analysis: Portrays short-term symmetrical triangle around 0.6550

  • NZD/USD extends the previous day’s losses, though immediate triangle tames the bears.
  • 200-HMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement add to the supports.
  • Bulls need validation from June month’s top to attack late-January top.

NZD/USD eases to 0.6543, down 0.05% on a day, during the pre-European session on Wednesday. The kiwi pair prints a two-day-old symmetrical triangle pattern on the hourly chart while stretching Tuesday’s U-turn from the monthly top.

The quote currently drops towards the formation support of 0.6530 with the bearish MACD and repeated failures to cross 0.6580/85 favoring the sellers.

During the pair’s downside break of the triangle, 0.6500 and 200-HMA level of 0.6485 might offer intermediate halts before diverting the bears to 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of June 30 to July 07 upside, at 0.6460 now.

Alternatively, the buyer’s ability to cross the triangle’s resistance, currently around 0.6570 will again push them to challenge the key 0.6580/85 resistance area including June month’s peak.

In a case where the bulls manage to conquer 0.6585 on a daily basis, January 24 high surrounding 0.6630 will flash on their radars.

EUR/USD onsolidates around mid-1.1800s as traders keenly await FOMC Minutes

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from the 1.1800 neighborhood, or a one-and-a-half-week low, and consolidates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Wednesday. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.1800s, nearly unchanged for the day.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold bounces back toward $4,900, looks to FOMC Minutes

Gold is attempting a bounce from the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dented demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion, weighing on Gold in early trades. However, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Traders now seem reluctant ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which would offer cues about the Fed's rate-cut path and provide some meaningful impetus.
