The NZD/JPY currency pair has experienced continued sideways trading despite Tuesday's modest decline of 0.15%, settling at 89.40. Technical indicators paint a mixed picture, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) hinting at mild a bearish bias.

The RSI remains neutral around 42, suggesting that the bears are present. If the RSI continues to move below, it would indicate a potential strong bearish reversal. The MACD is showing flat green bars, suggesting that there is no clear momentum in either direction. For the MACD, if the flat green bars progress to red bars, it will suggest increasing bearish momentum and a potential strong reversal.

Volume has been consistently low, indicating a lack of conviction in the recent price movements. The pair is currently trading within a range between 87.50 and 90.50. A break below 87.50 could lead to further declines towards 86.00, while a break above 90.50 could push the pair up to 92.00.

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.
