EUR/CHF Price Analysis: Steps back from weekly channel resistance towards 1.0700

Anil Panchal FXStreet

EUR/CHF seesaws around 1.0740, following its run-up to the highest since October 14, during the pre-European trading on Thursday. The pair’s latest consolidation could be traced from its inability to defy the short-term rising channel.

While the current retracement can aim for a 200-HMA level of 1.0727, EUR/CHF sellers will be convinced only after the break of the stated channel’s support line, at 1.0714.

In that case, the 1.0700 round-figure holds the gate for the pair’s fall towards the monthly low of 1.0688.

On the contrary, an upside clearance of the channel resistance, currently around 1.0742, will have to cross the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of October 08-15 downside, near 1.0745, to aim for the mid-month high of 1.0750.

Also acting as the important hurdle for the USD/CHF bulls are the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.0757 and the October 12 high close to 1.0775.

EUR/USD stays weak above 1.1750 ahead of German/ EU PMI data

EUR/USD remains on the back foot above 1.1850 in the European session on Friday, well within striking distance of a nearly one-month low set the previous day. Unabated US Dollar demand and nervousness ahead of the German and Eurozone business PMI data keep the pair undermined.

GBP/USD recovers above 1.3450 after strong UK Retail Sales data

GBP/USD is recovering ground above 1.3450 in European trading on Friday, helped by a modest uptick in the Pound Sterling after a bigger-than-expected increase in the UK Retail Sales for January. However, the further upside appears limited in the pair amid persistent US Dollar strength and ahead of key UK and US data.

Gold rises for third day on geopolitical risks, US data eyed

Gold gains some positive traction for the third consecutive day on Friday. The upside potential, however, seems limited amid the mixed fundamental backdrop. Moreover, traders might opt to wait for the key US macro releases – the Advance Q4 GDP report and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index – before placing fresh directional bets.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple remain range-bound as breakdown risks rise

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple are trading sideways within consolidation ranges on Friday, signaling a lack of directional bias in the broader crypto market. BTC rebounded from key support, and ETH is nearing the lower consolidation boundary, while XRP is holding at its lower trendline boundary.

Hawkish Fed minutes and a market finding its footing

At the GICS sector level, energy led gains, followed by technology and consumer discretionary, while utilities and real estate posted the largest losses.

Official Trump price approaches breakout with mixed signals from traders

Official Trump (TRUMP) is trading at $3.50 at the time of writing, approaching its upper consolidation range. A breakout from this range could open the door for an upside move. On-chain data shows market indecision, with balanced flows between bulls and bears, signaling a lack of clear directional bias.
