The NZD/JPY sharply declined in Thursday’s session, seeing more than 1% losses and trimming all of Wednesday’s gains as the cross consolidated the rally which took it to a multi-year high of 91.20.

In that sense, according to the daily chart, the NZD/JPY has a neutral to bullish technical outlook, with indicators signalling a short-term pause in the bulls' upward after hitting overbought conditions and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) exhibits a negative slope still above its midline, while the Moving Average Convergence (MACD) presents lower green bars. In line with that, the cross trades above the 20,100,200-day Simple Moving Average (SMAs) suggest that the bulls are in command over the sellers in the larger context.

In the four-hour chart, indicators are tilting in favour of the bears, with the RSI and MACD standing in negative territory, suggesting that the cross may face further consolidation in the near term.

Support levels: 89.25, 89.00, 88.60 (20-day SMA).
Resistance levels: 90.00, 90.30, 91.20.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.
