USD/CHF Price Analysis: Eases below 0.9340 key hurdle

USD/CHF pauses two-day uptrend, steps back from seven-week high.
Firmer Momentum, fortnight-old support line keep buyers hopeful of crossing seven-month-old resistance line.
July’s high, 50-DMA add to the downside filters.

USD/CHF consolidates recent gains around 0.9320 during early Tuesday, following two-day advances to poke October’s high.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair eases below a downward sloping trend line from early April. However, an ascending support line from November 09 and a firmer Momentum line favor USD/CHF buyers to aim for the 0.9340 immediate resistance.

On a daily closing beyond 0.9340, the previous month’s top of 0.9368 can act as an intermediate halt before directing the quote towards the yearly high, marked in April around 0.9475.

Meanwhile, the 0.9300 threshold will precede the stated immediate support line, near 0.9230, to challenge short-term USD/CHF sellers.

Additionally, July month’s high of 0.9275 and the 50-DMA level of 0.9231 offer extra tests for the pair sellers to pass ahead of retaking the controls.

To sum up, USD/CHF buyers can ignore the latest pullback moves.

Gold retreats from weekly top as USD rebounds slightly following the post-FOMC slump

Gold retreats following a modest Asian session uptick to the $4,247 area, or a fresh weekly high, and for now, seems to have snapped a two-day winning streak. A generally positive risk tone, along with a modest US Dollar bounce from its lowest level since October 24, turns out to be a key factor undermining demand for the safe-haven precious metal.
