NZD/USD Technical Analysis: Seems poised to extend the post-CPI up-move to 1-week tops

Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• A slightly upbeat NZ CPI report assisted the pair to build on the previous session's goodish rebound from over two-week lows and continue gaining traction for the second straight session.

• The positive momentum over the past 12-hours or so helped the pair to decisively breakthrough a one-week-old descending trend-channel and rally to the 0.6800 neighborhood or multi-day tops.

• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart are already pointing to slightly overbought conditions warranting some consolidation, especially after the latest leg of an upsurge of nearly 100-pips.

• However, oscillators on 4-hourly/daily charts have just started gaining bullish traction, supporting prospects for some fresh technical buying and an extension of the intraday positive move.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
