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.

AUD/USD sits at three-week highs above 0.7000 on hawkish RBA-speak

AUD/USD holds a positive bias for the fourth straight day, trading above 0.7000 in the Asian session on Wednesday and at three-week highs. RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser's hawkish remarks and inflation concerns underpin the pair. However, the upside appears capped as the US Dollar attracts some buyers amid looming US-Iran uncertainty.

USD/JPY remains confined in a familiar range below 158.50

USD/JPY sees some dip-buying in the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined within a multi-week range near 158.50 as the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike keeps Japanese Yen bulls on the defensive. Meanwhile, hawkish Fed expectations, bolstered by inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices, underpin the US Dollar. However, looming intervention fears could limit JPY losses and cap the currency pair.

Gold bounces off weekly low; Fed hike bets and modest USD recovery keep upside limited

Gold recovers slightly from the weekly low, around the $4,100 neighborhood, though the upside potential seems limited amid a bearish fundamental backdrop. Inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices underpin prospects for further policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve. Furthermore, a modest US Dollar recovery from a near three-week low could contribute to capping bullion.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything
