USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bulls step back from 0.9265 hurdle

USD/CHF refreshes intraday low while consolidating the biggest daily gains in a month.
100-SMA, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of November’s upside challenge immediate advances.
200-SMA, monthly support line restrict short-term losses, Fibo. levels act as additional filters.

USD/CHF steps back from the weekly top while teasing intraday lows around 0.9250 during early Tuesday.

The Swiss currency (CHF) pair marked the biggest daily gains since early November the previous day but couldn’t overcome the confluence of 100-SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of November 01-24 upside, around 0.9265.

The latest pullback eyes 50% Fibo. near 0.9230 but the 200-SMA level of 0.9210 will challenge the USD/CHF declines afterward.

Should the quote drops past 0.9210, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and an ascending trend line from early November, around 0.9200 and 0.9175 in that order, will be crucial to watch.

Meanwhile, a clear upside break of the 0.9265 hurdle will need validation from the 0.9300 round figure and the November 17 peak of 0.9330 before directing the USD/CHF bulls to the previous month’s top near 0.9375.

Overall, USD/CHF may witness a short-term pullback but key supports to the south will challenge the bears.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close. The modest decline in spot comes as the US Dollar picks up a bit of support, while thin liquidity and muted volatility, thanks to the US market holiday, are exaggerating price swings and keeping trading conditions choppy.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise

Ripple is trading in a narrow range between $1.45 (immediate support) and $1.50 (resistance) at the time of writing on Monday. The remittance token extended its recovery last week, peaking at $1.67 on Sunday from the weekly open at $1.43.
