  • NZD/USD could encounter immediate resistance around the nine-day EMA at the 0.6203 level.
  • The 14-day RSI remains above the 50 level, confirming the overall bullish trend.
  • The immediate support appears around the 14-day EMA at 0.6180 level, aligned with the lower boundary.

NZD/USD holds its position around 0.6200 during the European hours on Thursday. On the daily chart, the pair is trekking above the lower boundary of the ascending channel, supporting a bullish bias. A break below the lower boundary would weaken the bullish bias.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level, confirming the overall bullish trend. Additionally, the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is positioned above the 14-day EMA, signaling that the NZD/USD pair is experiencing short-term upward momentum and is likely to continue rising.

On the upside, the NZD/USD pair may encounter immediate resistance around the nine-day EMA at the 0.6203 level, followed by the seven-month high of 0.6247, recorded on August 21. A break above this level could lead the pair to test the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 0.6330.

In terms of support, the NZD/USD pair may find immediate support at the 14-day EMA at 0.6180 level, aligned with the lower boundary of the ascending channel around the 0.6170 level. A break below this level could weaken the bullish bias and lead the pair to navigate the area around the psychological level of 0.6100.

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.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
