Momentum builds in GBP/USD and NZD/USD following tariff delayThe U.S. dollar weakened sharply in recent sessions as President Trump's announcement that the proposed 50% tariffs on EU imports will now be delayed until July 9, giving markets temporary relief.
GBP/USD edged toward 1.3600, testing levels last seen three years ago. The RSI sits just under 60, suggesting there’s still room before overbought conditions are reached. Volume has been gradually increasing, potentially reinforcing the strength of the breakout.
Risk-on flows also lifted the Australian and New Zealand dollars. NZD/USD has broken above the Ichimoku cloud and rose 0.62% on the day. Price is well above the Tenkan-sen (blue) and Kijun-sen (red), indicating strong upward momentum. However, the pair is pulling back slightly after the sharp breakout, suggesting short-term consolidation.

NZDUSD 3MONTHS CHARTNZD/USD Interest Rate Differential, 10-Year Bond Yields, and Carry Trade Analysis (May 25–30, 2025)
Current 10-Year Bond Yields
New Zealand 10-Year Bond Yield: 4.70% (as of May 21, 2025) .
US 10-Year Treasury Yield: 4.54% (as of May 22, 2025) .
Interest Rate Differential (IRD)
The yield spread between New Zealand and US 10-year bonds is:4.70%(NZD)−4.54%(USD)=+0.16%
the 4.70% (NZD)−4.54% (USD)=+0.16%
This modest differential slightly favors the New Zealand dollar, creating a limited carry trade opportunity.
Carry Trade Advantage
Investors can borrow USD at lower US rates and invest in higher-yielding NZD assets, earning the 0.16% yield spread.
The strategy is supported by New Zealand’s elevated bond yields despite recent Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) rate cuts. However, the narrow spread reduces potential returns compared to higher-yielding currency pairs.
Key Events and Risks (May 25–30, 2025)
RBNZ Monetary Policy Meeting (May 27–28):
Markets expect a 25 basis point rate cut to 3.50% , which could pressure NZD yields lower and narrow the IRD.
Further easing signals may weaken NZD, offsetting carry trade gains.
US Economic Data and Fed Policy:
US inflation data and Fed Chair Powell’s speeches could influence USD strength. Traders currently price in five Fed rate cuts by year-end , which may limit USD upside.
China Trade Dynamics:
New Zealand’s trade ties with China (its largest partner) make NZD sensitive to US-China trade tensions. Progress in tariff negotiations could support NZD .

10-Year Bond Yield 4.70% 4.54%
Interest Rate Differential +0.16% (NZD over USD) —
Carry Trade Appeal Modest, but narrowing —
Conclusion
The 0.16% yield advantage for NZD over USD provides a limited carry trade opportunity. However, the upcoming RBNZ rate cut (May 27–28) and potential Fed easing could narrow the spread further. NZD/USD remains vulnerable to:
RBNZ policy: Further rate cuts may reduce NZD’s yield appeal.
US-China trade developments: Escalating tensions could pressure NZD due to its reliance on Chinese trade.
While the carry trade offers marginal gains, traders should prioritize risk management amid volatility from central bank decisions and geopolitical risks.
NZDUSD TEMPORARY SHORTPURELY TECHNICAL
Though with projections of growth, NZDUSD has been consolidating and trading between $0.60 and $0.58 for over a month. A sell position would be ideal at $0.60 as corroborated by the yellow line of the TDI indicator trending above 63 on the 1hr timeframe. Additionally, $0.60 appears to be the test limit to verify the appetite of potential buyers and so far, there is little insensitive to keep buying above $0.60. Moreover, the daily timeframe shows consistent rejection of prices above $0.60
Calm Before the Storm for NZDUSD Ahead of RBNZ and US Data?NZDUSD has been forming a descending triangle pattern since 2020. After the wide swings triggered by the COVID-19 shock, price action has gradually contracted. The downside has been limited near 0.55, while the topside has followed a clear descending trendline, currently sitting around 0.62.
Following a brief surge in April, NZDUSD has entered a short-term flat trend, with two key support and resistance zones capping volatility, potentially the calm before the storm. The 0.5825–0.5850 zone acts as support, while 0.60–0.6050 serves as resistance.
This week, major events including the RBNZ decision, FOMC minutes, U.S. consumer sentiment, PCE, and GDP data could break this low-volatility pattern. A decisive move toward either the upper or lower boundary of the descending triangle may be imminent.

5 Trading Beliefs That Keep Me Untouchable! Do you check off 5?Everyone talks about edge, but few talk about identity.
These are the thoughts I rehearse every day.
Not to hype myself up, but to root myself deeper in who I must become.
These beliefs don’t just sharpen my trading — they shield my mind from chaos.
Welcome to The Part 2
1. Money is not important
It’s fuel, not the fire.
I don’t chase paper — I chase precision.
The second money becomes my reason, fear walks in the door.
But when it’s just the byproduct of execution and clarity?
That’s when I move with power.
> “He who chases the outcome loses the process. He who masters the process controls the outcome.”
2. It’s OK to lose in markets
Losses don’t mean I’m off-track — they mean I’m engaged.
Some trades are tuition.
And I pay them with purpose.
Because every great trader I study… bled first, banked later.
I lose like a winner — with awareness, not emotion.
3. Mental rehearsal is essential
Every night before bed — every morning before I trade —
I see it first.
I walk through the setup, the entry, the hold, the exit.
I rehearse calmness, I rehearse precision.
So when the real trade shows up?
I don’t react.
I recognize.
I’ve already been there.
4. Trading is a game
Serious results. Serious purpose.
But never serious emotion.
A game has rules. Patterns. Levels.
And like every master of any game —
I study, train, and outlast those who play sloppy.
> “The market isn’t trying to beat me. It’s just the board I’m learning to dominate.”
5. I’ve already won before I start
I walk in as the version of me who’s already achieved the outcome.
Not hoping — knowing.
I act from the future I’ve already decided is mine.
And when I operate from that space?
The market bends to meet me there.
> These aren’t just beliefs.
They’re mental armor.
If you’re walking this path to elite performance,
I’m not here to motivate you —
I’m here to remind you of who you already are.
Stay locked in.
If you trade, which one of these are you still working on?

NZDUSD → A retest of resistance may end in a false breakout.FX:NZDUSD bounces off the upward support line and forms a distribution towards the liquidity zone located above 0.597...
Strong resistance lies ahead at 0.5969 - 0.5975 (liquidity pool). If the current movement continues (distribution), the market will exhaust all its potential and the situation may end in a false breakout. There is no trend as such in the market, the price is inside the flat, and thus bearish pressure may resist the upward price movement.
Resistance levels: 0.5969, 0.5974
Support levels: 0.5932, 0.5917
Against the backdrop of a falling dollar, the currency pair is likely to continue its growth and may test 0.5969 in the short term, but based on the nature of the movement, we can assume that a downward correction will follow.
Best regards, R. Linda!

NZDUSD Bearish Setup🔍 Market Structure Analysis
WSD Zone Rejection (Top):
Price tapped a wick-based supply & demand (WSD) zone at the top around 0.59486.
That zone also aligns with the previous liquidity grab + mitigation of the OB.
Price is now rejecting that area — forming a lower high (LH) inside the zone → classic sign of distribution.
Rising Channel Break:
Price was rising inside the red ascending channel.
Currently showing bearish intent, with multiple internal BOS (breaks of structure).
If price closes below the channel, that confirms bearish expansion.
Downtrend from Premium Zone:
We're clearly in premium pricing, where institutions prefer to offload longs.
This area also completes a liquidity sweep of prior highs inside the WSD zone.
🧠 Trade Logic (Sell Setup)
🔺 Entry Zone: Inside or after rejection of WSD at 0.59486.
🛑 Stop Loss: Just above the WSD zone and local high.
🎯 Take Profits:
TP1: 0.58669 → Local support + lower WSD zone (reaction zone).
TP2: 0.58398 → Previous liquidity pool and external low.
🧾 R:R = Clean 1:4.5+, textbook SMC setup.
📌 Confluences for Bearish Bias
✅ Multiple WSD zones tested with bearish rejection.
✅ Rising channel inside premium is breaking.
✅ Mitigation + BOS on smaller TF.
✅ News candle marked by blue vertical line may act as final volatility spike before continuation.
✅ Price is near VWAP/50% equilibrium → Ideal for smart money to expand to downside.
🧯 Invalidation Conditions
❌ If price closes above 0.59486, we reassess the bias.
❌ A re-entry into the upper WSD with strong bullish volume invalidates the current bearish flow.
🔮 Forecast Summary
This is a classic distribution setup with liquidity engineered into a WSD zone, now showing early mitigation and markdown signs. Unless major manipulation occurs, expect price to expand toward the 0.58398 low in the next 24–48 hours.
NZDUSD - Potential BuyHi Traders,
Here is my view on CMCMARKETS:NZDUSD
BIAS: BUY
Logical Analysis:
From the 9th of April 2025 price has been rising, this makes me believe that the demand of this pair is very high and the BUYER is willing to pay a high price to get some.
Business has been great between 0.59 and 0.60 level.
I am wondering if the demand is till high?
Technical Analysis: see chart
Good Luck.
