NZD/USD Price Analysis: Bounces 20 pips from session lows

NZD/USD trims losses as the hourly chart indicator reports oversold conditions.
A move above Friday's high is needed to invalidate bearish pressures.

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

NZD/USD is trading near 0.6028 at press time, having hit a low of 0.6008 an hour ago.

The bounce may be further extended to the 200-hour average at 0.6042 as the hourly relative strength index has recovered from under-30 or oversold levels, signaling scope for a corrective rally.

Acceptance above the 200-hour average would open the doors to the psychological level of 0.61.

Overall, the path of least resistance would remain to the downside as long as the spot holds below 0.6126, which is the high of the bearish marubozu candle created on Friday.

That said, a bullish reversal would be confirmed once the pair prints a daily close above 0.6176 – the high of the Doji candle created on Thursday.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

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 holds above $5,000 as bears seem hesitant amid Fed rate cut bets

Gold edges lower at the start of a new week, though it defends the $5,000 psychological mark through the Asian session. The underlying bullish sentiment is seen acting as a headwind for the bullion. However, bets for more rate cuts by the Fed, bolstered by Friday's softer US CPI, keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and continue to support the non-yielding yellow metal as the focus now shifts to FOMC Minutes on Wednesday.

The US jobs report for January, which was delayed slightly, didn’t do the dovish Fed bets any favours, as expectations of a soft print did not materialize, confounding the raft of weak job indicators seen in the prior week.

Global inflation watch: Signs of cooling services inflation

Realized inflation landed close to expectations in January, as negative base effects weighed on the annual rates. Remaining sticky inflation is largely explained by services, while tariff-driven goods inflation remains limited even in the US.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
