EUR/CHF Price Analysis: Cross holds near 0.94 amid mixed momentum signals

  • EUR/CHF trades near the 0.94 zone with minor gains on Monday.
  • The pair maintains a neutral tone, with conflicting short-term and long-term signals.
  • Key support is clustered below 0.9370, with resistance near 0.9400.

The EUR/CHF pair is trading near the 0.94 zone on Monday, reflecting minor gains as the market stabilizes within its recent range. Despite the modest upside, the pair remains constrained by a broadly neutral technical outlook, with mixed signals across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum is showing signs of a potential bullish tilt, though the broader context still suggests cautious trading.

On the daily chart, the EUR/CHF pair presents a mixed technical landscape. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers in the 50s, signaling neutral conditions, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicates buy momentum, providing a slight bullish undertone. However, the Awesome Oscillator remains around zero, reinforcing the neutral tone, and the Average Directional Index (14) around 12 confirms the lack of a strong trend. The Ultimate Oscillator, also in the 50s, echoes this sideways sentiment, while the Ichimoku Base Line, positioned around the 1 area, further highlights the market’s indecision.

Moving averages paint a similarly mixed picture. The 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) supports a buy bias, aligning with the recent modest gains, while the 100-day and 200-day SMAs point to a more bearish longer-term outlook, suggesting that any near-term upside may struggle to gain traction without a broader momentum shift.

Zooming into the 4-hour timeframe, the technical outlook turns slightly more bullish. The 4-hour MACD is in positive territory, indicating building momentum, while the 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and 10-period SMA on this shorter timeframe also support the upside bias. However, the 20-period 4-hour SMA sends a contrasting sell signal, highlighting the risk of near-term pullbacks despite the bullish tone. The Bull Bear Power and the 4-hour Ultimate Oscillator remain neutral, adding to the mixed signals.

In terms of price structure, immediate support is found around 0.9368, with additional layers at 0.9366 and 0.9364. On the upside, resistance is likely to emerge around 0.9373, followed closely by 0.9390 and 0.9407. Broader Fibonacci clusters suggest deeper support in the 0.9000 to 0.9200 range, while resistance extends toward 0.9600 to 0.9800, providing a wider context for potential breakout or breakdown scenarios.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
