End of day technical look at the EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPUSD and USDCHF.

The buyers in the NZDUSD tried to break higher on Friday, moving above a key 200 hour MA on the hourly chart and swing level on the daily chart. However, momentum failed and the price rotated lower. 

Prior to the rally on Thursday and Friday, the price did break below the 50% midpoint of the range since 2021 low on the daily chart opening the door for lower levels.  That break also failed leading the snap back rally higher. 

So for the week, the sellers had their chance, and the buyers had their chance. Both failed.  

As a result, the price is back in a neutral area in the short term and waiting for the next shove. 

Find out the key levels in play that will give traders clues in the new trading week.

A move – and close – above the 200 hour MA would be the first since May 11.

The AUDUSD is testing at 200 hour moving average of 0.65467. The high price reached 0.6548, and backed off on the first look. The current price is trading at 0.6537. The price of the AUDUSD is not trade/closed above it’s a 200 hour moving average since May 11. A break – and close above – would give buyers more confidence, and tilt the short-term bias in favor of the buyers. On a break above, the high price from Tuesday’s trade reached 0.6558. Above that and traders would start to look toward the 38.2% retracement of the May trading range. That level comes in at 0.65951.
