NZD/USD Price Analysis: Maintains its position below 0.6000 ahead of US jobs data

NZD/USD consolidates below the psychological level before US Jobless Claims.
Nine-day EMA at 0.5952 could act as the key support aligned to the 0.5950 major level.

NZD/USD retreats from the weekly high, hovering below the 0.6000 psychological level during the European hours on Thursday. The NZD/USD pair could find support at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.5952 lined up with a major level at 0.5950.

A decisive break below the level could influence the bears of the NZD/USD pair to navigate the region around 0.5900 psychological level following the two-week low at 0.5859.

However, the technical indicators for the NZD/USD pair do indeed paint a bullish picture. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) being above the 50 level signals upward support, indicating a strong momentum in favor of the pair.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, positioned above the centerline and showing divergence above the signal line, further suggests a bullish momentum in the NZD/USD pair.

On the upside, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 0.6025 appears to be the immediate resistance. A firm breakthrough above the latter could support the NZD/USD pair to explore the region around the major level at 0.6050 followed by the 50% retracement at 0.6099 level.

EUR/USD struggles to regain momentum in the low1.1600s

EUR/USD is giving some signs of life in the aftermath of two severe days of losses on Wednesday, reclaiming the 1.1600 hurdle and above on the back of the resurgence of a mild selling bias around the US Dollar. Moving forward, the usual US weekly Claims will take centre stage on Thursday ahead of Friday’s crucial NFP data.

GBP/USD appears bid around 1.3370

GBP/USD reverses part of its recent multi-day decline, gathering some balance and managing to reach the 1.3400 region, where some initial resistance seems to have turned up. Cable’s uptick comes in response to some loss of momentum in the Greenback despite the geopolitical scenario remaining fragile.

Gold recovers modestly despite intensifying Middle East crisis

Gold keeps its daily gains well in place, although a break above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce still remains elusive on Wednesday. The yellow metal’s rebound comes in response to the persistent flight-to-safety amid intense geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the bearish performance of the US Dollar.
