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.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
