USD/CHF Price Analysis: Corrective pullback remains elusive below 0.9155

  • USD/CHF consolidates the biggest daily losses in seven weeks.
  • Steady RSI, sustained break of the key support line, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement favor sellers.
  • Bears eye five-month-old horizontal support line, buyers have a long and bumpy road ahead.

USD/CHF pares the heaviest daily losses since late November around 0.9145 heading into Thursday’s European session.

The Swiss currency (CHF) pair remains near the lowest levels in over a week while keeping the previous day’s downside break of monthly support line, now resistance near 0.9230, as well as 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of August-November upside, at 0.9155.

Given the steady RSI and a lack of decisive momentum signals from MACD, the USD/CHF prices are likely to remain pressured until crossing the 0.9155 immediate hurdle.

Even if the quote rise past 0.9155, 50% Fibo. level near the 0.9200 threshold, will challenge the pair buyers before directing them to the support-turned-resistance line surrounding 0.9230.

During the USD/CHF run-up beyond 0.9230, the monthly high of 0.9278 will be in focus.

Alternatively, a horizontal line since August 17, around 0.9100, stays on the USD/CHF bear’s radar.

Following that, August month’s low near 0.9020 and the 0.9000 psychological magnet will gain the seller’s attention.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively. BTC is hovering around $70,000, while ETH and XRP are facing rejection at key levels. Traders should be cautious: despite recent stabilization, upside recovery for these top three cryptocurrencies is capped as the broader trend remains bearish.
