USD/CHF Price Analysis: Golden cross loom, bulls hopeful target 0.9100

  • USD/CHF finds support at 0.9010, with buyers lifting pair to 0.9057 in late North American session.
  • 'Golden cross' formation of 50-day moving average crossing above 200-day moving average opens door for bullish resumption.
  • Sellers must push prices below 0.9000 mark and reclaim latest cycle low at 0.8887 to maintain control.

The USD/CHF finds some support at around the 0.9010 area, though it failed to print a green day on Thursday after market participants speculated the Federal Reserve isn’t raising rates again. However, buyers entered the market late in the North American session and lifted the pair to current exchange rates at 0.9057, almost flat as the Asian session began.

From a technical standpoint, the pair is set to extend its gains as the 50-day moving average (DMA) is about to cross above the 200-DMA, forming a ‘golden cross’ and opening the door for a bullish resumption. However, USD/CHF buyers must reclaim the latest swing high at 0.9112 before setting their sights at the latest cycle high at 0.9245, the October 3 high. Once those two levels are cleared, the year-to-date (YTD) would be exposed at 0.9440.

On the other hand, for sellers to keep in control, they must push prices below the 0.9000 mark, the confluence of the 50 and 200-DMA. Once cleared, they must reclaim the latest cycle low at 0.8887, the October 24 low.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
