NZD/USD Price Analysis: Sits above the 200-DMA, eyeing 0.6100

  • NZD/USD is bullish but at the brisk of tumbling below the 0.6000 mark.
  • Buyers must reclaim 0.6100 to gather momentum and test the 0.6200 mark.
  • Sellers target a downward break of the 200-DMA, as they target 0.5900.

NZD/USD extended its gains to three straight trading days, hitting a three-and-a-half-month high of 0.6107 on Monday. At the time of writing, the pair is virtually unchanged, trading at 0.6096 as the Tuesday Asian session begins.

From a daily chart perspective, the NZD/USD is upward biased, but it remains at buyers' expense to keep the exchange rate above the 200-day moving average (DMA), which sits at 0.6089. In that outcome, the 0.6100 figure is the first ceiling level to be conquered, so the pair remains bullish. The next key resistance level would be the 0.6150 psychological level, followed by the 0.6200 figure and the July 31 high at 0.6225.

Otherwise, the NZD/USD’s dropping below the 200-DMA would open the door for sellers to push the price toward the November 27 daily low of 0.6060, before eyeing the November 22 swing low of 0.5996. Once those levels are cleared, the pair would drop to the confluence of the November 17 low and the 50-DMA at around 0.5940.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.

USD/JPY holds gains near 158.00 after Japan's weak Household Spending data

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains depressed as the overnight fall in US bond yields counters a hawkish Fed and geopolitical uncertainties, could cap any downside in the pair.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The US Dollar’s strong upside momentum, combined with rising US Treasury yields across the curve, seems to keep further gains in the yellow metal under scrutiny.

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?
The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is
EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
