USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bears attack two-month-old support line below 0.9200

USD/CHF remains pressured around the lowest levels in three weeks.
Failure to cross 61.8% Fibonacci retracement during previous bounce off the key support line joins firmer Momentum to favor sellers.
50-SMA, two-week-old descending trend line offers strong resistance near 0.9210.

USD/CHF remains on the back foot around 0.9175, after refreshing the multi-day low amid early Tuesday.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair retests an upward sloping trend line from early November, keeping the last week’s pullback from 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of November’s upside.

Given the upbeat Momentum line and the quote’s failures to cross the key Fibo. level favor USD/CHF sellers to aim for the 78.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.9145. During the fall, the monthly low near 0.9165 and November 30 bottom of 0.9157 may offer intermediate halts.

If at all the USD/CHF bears refrain to step back from 0.9145, the previous monthly low of 0.9088 will be in focus.

Meanwhile, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement around 0.9200 guards the quote’s short-term upside.

Following that, a convergence of the 50-SMA and descending trend line from mid-December challenges the USD/CHF bulls near 0.9210.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

AUD/USD has come under fresh selling pressure and is testing 0.7100 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside. Furthermore, a bullish US Dollar acts as a headwind for the pair as traders keenly await the crucial Trump-Xi summit on Thursday. Meanwhile, markets shrug off US-Iran indirect talks.

USD/JPY stands firm near mid-157.00s, close to two-week high

USD/JPY hovers around mid-157.00s in the Asian session on Wednesday, near two-week highs touched last Friday as the BoJ's dovish rate hike continues to undermine the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

Gold sticks to losses below $4,350 as USD buying remains unabated amid hawkish Fed

Gold struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from sub-$4,300 levels and meets with fresh supply during the Asian session. The US Dollar extends its recent uptrend, hitting a fresh high since July 30 amid the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor undermining the non-yielding bullion.

Cardano Bulls push higher as open interest, funding rates rise

Cardano (ADA) extends gains, trading above $0.262 after rallying more than 14% so far this week. The bullish momentum is supported by rising Open Interest (OI), positive funding rates and signs of whale accumulation. If buying pressure persists, ADA could extend its rally and target higher levels. Cardano’s derivatives metrics show strengthening conditions.

Trump meets Xi: Why markets are watching this summit so closely

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Washington on Thursday for a summit closely watched by markets. After several months of easing trade tensions between the US and China, the meeting could determine whether the world's two largest economies extend their truce or enter a new period of uncertainty.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
