USD/CHF renews intraday low around 0.9910 as it prints the first daily loss in five during Tuesday’s Asian session.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair reverses from a downward sloping resistance line from May. Also adding strength to the corrective move could be the overbought RSI conditions.

With this, the quote is on the way to the resistance-turned-support line from July, around 0.9850. However, July’s peak of 0.9885 may probe the intraday sellers of the USD/CHF pair.

It should be noted, however, that the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s May-August downturn, near the 0.9800 threshold, could also test the bears before directing them toward the 100-DMA support level near 0.9685.

Alternatively, recovery moves need to cross the aforementioned resistance line, at 0.9950 by the press time, to recall the USD/CHF buyers.

Following that, the 1.0000 psychological magnet and multiple hurdles around 1.0050 can test the bulls before highlighting the yearly peak of 1.0065.

Overall, USD/CHF is likely to witness further downside but the bears are far from taking control.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
