As the USD moves higher after the news headlines that Iran was to stop exchanging messages with the US in protest against "Israeli crimes", has sent oil higher, yields higher, stocks lower and the USD higher. The USDCAD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD have been solid movers with the USDCAD the least impacted with a decline of -0.34%, but the AUD at -0.62% and the NZD at -1.20% are some of the biggest decliners on the day (vs the USD). USDCAD: The USDCAD has staged a solid technical rebound today, pushing back above a key cluster of moving averages that had previously acted as resistance. The pair has moved above its rising 200-hour moving average at 1.3801, the 200-day moving average at 1.3812, and the 100-hour moving average at 1.38155. The rally has extended to a high of 1.3849 so far, putting buyers firmly back in control in the near term.As long as the price remains above this moving-average cluster, the technical bias stays tilted to the upside. The next key target comes in a swing area that capped rallies in late March and early April between 1.3868 and 1.3877. A break above that zone would increase the bullish momentum and open the door for a deeper retracement of the broader decline. Conversely, a move back below the moving-average cluster would weaken the bullish outlook and give sellers a reason to reassert control.AUDUSD: The AUDUSD rallied strongly last week, climbing back above both its 200-hour and 100-hour moving averages, currently at 0.71515 and 0.71559 respectively. However, the advance stalled on Friday when buyers ran into a key swing area between 0.7194 and 0.7200. The inability to break through that resistance zone attracted sellers and led to a modest pullback into the close.In trading today, price action was choppy during the Asian-Pacific session, but momentum shifted decisively lower over the last few hours as the U.S. dollar strengthened on headline-driven buying. That move pushed the AUDUSD back below both the 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages, with the pair falling to a low of 0.7136 before rebounding slightly to trade near 0.7140.With the price now below both key moving averages, the near-term technical bias has shifted back in favor of the sellers. As long as the pair remains beneath those levels, downside risks remain elevated. The next target comes in a swing area between 0.7100 and 0.7113. A break below that support zone would increase the bearish bias further and put the May low at 0.70789 firmly in the sellers' sights.NZDUSD: The NZDUSD surged higher last week as risk-on sentiment fueled demand for commodity-linked currencies. From a technical perspective, the pair found support near the 50% midpoint of the trading range from the early-April low at 0.58334, then climbed back above its 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages before accelerating sharply higher on Thursday and Friday. The rally carried the price above the early-May high at 0.59899, reaching a new monthly high before consolidating near the peak into the weekend close.Today, however, the tone has shifted. The pair has trended lower from the start of trading, with downside momentum accelerating over the last few hours as the U.S. dollar strengthened. The decline has pushed the price below a key swing area between 0.5918 and 0.5928, turning that zone into near-term resistance. As long as the price remains below that area, sellers hold the short-term advantage.On the downside, the rising 100-hour moving average at 0.5914 has become an important battleground. The price briefly dipped below that level to a low of 0.5912, but buyers have emerged to defend the moving average and limit further losses. As a result, a short-term tug-of-war is developing between support at the 100-hour moving average and resistance in the 0.5918–0.5928 zone. While sellers have regained some control, it is worth noting that the current decline has so far only retraced back toward moving-average support levels that were reclaimed during last week's strong rally. A sustained break below the 100-hour moving average would be needed to strengthen the bearish case further. This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.
