NZD/USD Price Analysis: Struggles between 200-day EMA and 0.6190 support

NZD/USD struggles to extend two-day recovery moves, sidelined of late.
Three-week-old descending resistance line guards immediate upside ahead of 200-day EMA.

NZD/USD remains defensive near 0.6230, struggling to extend the two-day winning streak during Friday’s Asian session. In doing so, the Kiwi pair grinds with an important trading range amid mixed oscillators.

That said, the quote currently jostles with a downward-sloping resistance line from February 02, close to 0.6250 by the press time, as the RSI (14) line seesaws around the oversold territory while the MACD signals are bearish.

The same suggests that the bearish bias remains intact with the downside room appearing limited.

As a result, a seven-week-old horizontal support area surrounding 0.6190 appears the key for the NZD/USD bears to watch during the quote’s further downside.

It’s worth noting that the Kiwi pair’s downside below 0.6190 could aim for 0.6100 while any further downside will need validation from the mid-November swing low surrounding 0.6060 before poking the 0.6000 threshold.

On the flip side, a daily closing beyond the aforementioned three-week-old resistance line will need to cross the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) level surrounding 0.6275 to convince the NZD/USD buyers. In that case, a run-up toward the February 14 high near 0.6390 can’t be ruled out.

Overall, NZD/USD is likely to remain bearish but the downside needs validation from 0.6190.

GBP/USD appears well offered near 1.3160

GBP/USD builds on Tuesday’s losses, although it now manages to pick up some pace and bounce off earlier multi-month troughs near 1.3140. The Greenback’s solid performance and continued political turmoil in the UK are keeping Cable under persistent pressure, with little sign of a meaningful recovery.

EUR/USD rebounds from lows, back to 1.1360

After bottoming out near 1.1320, EUR/USD gathers some traction and reclaims the 1.1350-1.1360 band as the NA session draws to a close on Wednesday. The pair’s drop to multi-month lows comes in response to the continuous leg higher in the US Dollar, which remains propped up by hawkish Fed expectations and uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran peace negotiations.

Gold pressured near fresh 2026 lows

Gold accelerates its decline and gyrates around the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday, its lowest level since November 2025. In the meantime, tighter-for-longer Fed expectations and a broadly firmer US Dollar continue to weigh on the yellow metal, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US-Iran peace agreement has done little to revive demand for the safe haven space.

XRP nears key support as Fed hike risks suppress demand

Ripple (XRP) continues to face significant selling pressure, trading around $1.05 at the time of writing on Wednesday. This decline mirrors the broader weakness in the crypto market, exacerbated by mounting macroeconomic headwinds and persistent geopolitical uncertainties.

US-Iran talks: The next 60 days will decide where Oil prices go next

Oil markets received some encouraging news after weeks of rising tensions in the Middle East. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: we’re far from victory, and markets just seem to have priced out the worst-case scenario. The US and Iran have reportedly made "substantive progress" in talks in Switzerland and agreed on a framework for working toward a broader deal within 60 days.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
