EUR/CHF Technical Analysis: Green shoots of recovery ahead of SNB

The bullish divergence of the relative strength index and stochastic and the bullish crossover on the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), as seen in the EUR/CHF daily chart, indicates the pair is gearing up for an upside break of the trendline connecting the July 16 low and Aug. 28 low.
A close above the trendline would confirm a short-term bullish reversal and could yield a sustained move toward 50-day moving average (MA), currently located at 1.1423.
The signs of a bullish reversal ahead of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) rate decision likely indicate that investors are expecting the central bank to strike a dovish tone. After all, the CHF has appreciated sharply in the last few weeks.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold remains below $5,200 despite tariff jitters and geopolitical risks

Gold is seen consolidating in a range below the $5,200 mark during the Asian session on Friday amid mixed cues. Trade jitters, along with the risk of a potential US-Iran war, act as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish outlook keeps the US Dollar close to the monthly high and caps the non-yielding yellow metal. Nevertheless, the commodity remains on track to register gains for the fourth straight week, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.
