How has the rise in the USD impacted the technicals for the USDCAD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD?
A stronger US dollar driven by headlines about Iran lifted oil and yields and pressured risk assets, shifting technical biases across major USD pairs. USDCAD staged a technical rebound, climbing above a cluster of moving averages (200-hour/day and 100-hour) and reaching 1.3849, keeping near-term bias bullish with resistance at 1.3868–1.3877. AUDUSD, which had rallied into resistance near 0.7194–0.7200 last week, was pushed back below its 100- and 200-hour MAs (≈0.71515/0.71559) and dropped to ~0.7136, shifting the short-term bias back to sellers with support at 0.7100–0.7113. NZDUSD also reversed from last week’s gains, falling below a swing area (0.5918–0.5928) and testing its 100-hour MA (~0.5914) after a low of 0.5912; the pair’s prior monthly high was 0.59899. Overall the USD strength produced mixed technical outcomes: USDCAD bullish near-term, AUDUSD and NZDUSD turned more bearish unless their respective moving-average supports are reclaimed.
