NZD/USD daily chart
Key support levels include 0.6150, 0.6120, and 0.6100, while resistance levels are 0.6190, 0.6200, and 0.6230. A close above the 20-day SMA, currently at 0.6200, could signal further upward movement with the next target being at early September highs near 0.6300. In addition, traders should monitor the 0.6100 area as the 100 and 200-day SMAs are about to perform a bullish crossover. That could serve as a bullish confirmation and might trigger another upwards leg.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.
