NZD/USD bears keep the reins for the eighth consecutive day as they refresh the yearly low to 0.5902 amid early Thursday.

In doing so, the Kiwi pair justifies the previous week’s downside break of the 0.5985 support comprising May’s low while poking the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of October 2022 to February 2023 upside, near 0.5900 by the press time, also known as the golden Fibonacci ratio.

It’s worth noting, however, that the RSI (14) line hits the oversold territory and joins the key Fibonacci support around 0.5900 to challenge the NZD/USD bears.

Also acting as a downside filter is a descending support line from early March, close to 0.5885 by the press time.

In a case where the Kiwi pair drops below 0.5885, the early October swing high near 0.5815 may act as the final defense of the bulls.

Alternatively, an upside clearance of the support-turned-resistance line surrounding 0.5985, closely followed by the 0.6000 psychological magnet, becomes necessary for the NZD/USD buyers to return to the desk.

Even so, a downward-sloping resistance line from July 14, around 0.6045 at the latest, can challenge the run-up before pushing back the bears.

GBP/USD dips below 1.3350 with bullish momentum losing steam

The British Pound ticks lower against the US Dollar Monday, attempting to close a seven-day rally, as tensions rise again in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the critical points in the peace process between Washington and Tehran. The GBP/USD pair trades near 1.3340 at the time of writing, down from 1.3387 highs last week, although it maintains a near-term bullish trend intact.

EUR/USD trims losses, back to 1.1430

EUR/USD remains under pressure on Monday, although it now manages to trim its earlier losses and return to the 1.1430 zone, down marginally for the day. The pair’s mild pullback comes on the back of modest gains in the US Dollar in quite an apathetic start to the week.

Gold meets resistance around $4,200

Gold comes under fresh downside pressure on Monday, reversing three daily upticks in a row and meeting some initial resistance around the $4,200 mark per troy ounce. Safe-haven demand has shifted toward the US Dollar as renewed tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz weigh on market sentiment, limiting the precious metal's upside.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pull back amid persistent ETF outflows

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing widespread weakness on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) sliding under the $63,000 mark amid ongoing risk aversion.

The US Dollar just beat the Swiss Franc at its own safe-haven game

As the king among safe havens, the Swiss Franc is supposed to benefit from geopolitical shocks such as the Iran war. This time, it didn’t. The Swissie is nearly 6% below January’s peak against the USD after a sharp decline that came along with the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
