NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bears continue their reign sinking further to May lows

In Wednesday's session, the NZD/USD extended its downward trajectory, decreasing by 0.55% and stabilizing at around 0.5925. The unceasing advance of the bears led to a further decline below the 0.5900 level, plummeting to the May lows around 0.5880 earlier in the session. This establishes a firm bearish sentiment surrounding the currency pair, with a five-day losing stream underlining this trend.

The daily technical indicators fortify this deteriorating trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now well within the oversold territory at 27. Concurrently, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows rising red bars, further underlining the bearish sentiment. However, as RSI nears a highly oversold state, there might be potential for a correction looming on the horizon.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.
