USD/CHF remains on the back foot around intraday bottom, down 0.08% on a day around 0.9360 heading into Friday’s European session.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair portrays a failure to keep the bounce off a short-term crucial support convergence, comprising tops marked during late January and 50-SMA.

Also favoring USD/CHF sellers is the downside break of the previous support line from March 06, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

That said, the latest declines eye 0.9340 re-test before directing the bears towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of February 21 to March 16 upside, near 0.9305.

Following that, the 61.8% Fibo level near 0.9270 may entertain the USD/CHF bears before directing them to the 0.9200 threshold.

Meanwhile, recovery moves remain elusive below the support-turned-resistance line, close to the 0.9400 round figure by the press time.

Following that, the monthly high and tops marked during the year 2021, respectively around 0.9460 and 0.9475 in that order, will lure the USD/CHF bulls.

EUR/USD struggles near 1.1850, with all eyes on US CPI data

EUR/USD holds losses while keeping its range near 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with a steady US Dollar undermines the pair ahead of the critical US CPI data. Meanwhile, the Eurozone Q4 GDP second estimate has little to no impact on the Euro.

The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.
