EUR/CHF tests key trend support amid choppy trading – Société Générale

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/CHF is edging lower toward the ascending trend line that has guided price action since April, as the pair continues to fluctuate around its 50-day moving average. With resistance at 0.9375 capping upside attempts, a failure to break higher could invite a deeper correction toward 0.9260 or even the lower end of the multi-month range near 0.9210, Société Générale's FX analysts note.

Euro struggles to clear 0.9375 resistance vs. Franc

"EUR/CHF has drifted towards the ascending trend line established since April. The pair has exhibited choppy price action around the 50-day moving average, underscoring the absence of a clear directional bias. The recent pivot high at 0.9375 acts as short-term resistance; failure to break above this level may signal the risk of a deeper pullback."

"If the decline extends, the next support levels are near the August low of 0.9260 and the lower boundary of the multi-month range at 0.9220/0.9210."

GBP/USD defends 1.3550 after UK inflation data

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

Gold retains bullish bias amid Fed rate cut bets, ahead of Fed Minutes

Gold sticks to modest intraday gains through the early European session, reversing a major part of the previous day's heavy losses of more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.
