USD/CHF Price Analysis: Approaching an important support level at 0.9590/95

The bearish pressure on the US dollar increased on Thursday after USD/CHF broke below the bottom line of the last two months’ triangle pattern at 0.9650 area. The pair has extended losses on Friday, reaching levels near the last 2 ½-month lows, at 0.9590 with the market on a risk-off tone, awaiting US President Trump’s conference on China.

A convincing move below the mentioned 0.9590 (May 1 low) might encourage sellers to push the pair towards 0.9545 (50% retracement of March’s rally) on its way to March 27 low at 0.9500.

On the flip side, the USD/CHF should move back above the broken trendline support, now at 0.9660, to ease bearish pressure and attack the 50- and 100-day SMAs, at 0.9685/0.9700 before trendline resistance at 0.9730.

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
