USD/CHF Price Analysis: Depressed near fresh low since January 2015, weekly falling channel in focus

USD/CHF wavers around the lowest since January 2015.
Nearly overbought RSI conditions suggest pullback inside bearish chart pattern.
May 2014 low can lure the bears during further downside.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Following its drop to the fresh multi-month low of 0.8851, USD/CHF seesaws near 0.8855, down 0.15% intraday, ahead of Friday’s European session.

In doing so, the quote stays depressed inside a descending trend channel formation established since November 03. However, oversold RSI conditions battle the receding strength of bearish MACD to indicate corrective recovery.

During the bounce 0.8875 and the channel resistance around 0.8895 will precede the 0.8900 threshold to challenge the USD/CHF bulls.

If at all the USD/CHF bulls manage to dominate past-0.8900, the 200-HMA level of 0.8930 will be important to watch.

On the downside, the mentioned channel’s support near 0.8843 can challenge the south-run, failing to do so can direct USD/CHF bears towards May 2014 bottom surrounding 0.8700.

EUR/USD keeps the offered stance just above 1.1700

EUR/USD is coming under heavy selling pressure in what has been a rather grim start to the new trading week, with the pair now trading close to the 1.1700 support area as the US Dollar stages a solid rebound. The prevailing flight to safety mood continues to favour the Greenback, as investors react to the escalating conflict in the Middle East and trim risk exposure across the board.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold trims losses, back below $5,400

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance past the $5,400 mark per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the precious metal’s strong uptick remains fuelled by increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East amid the intense demand for safer assets.
