USD/CHF Price Analysis: Looks set to battle 0.8990 key hurdle

USD/CHF reverses the previous day’s pullback from weekly top.
Confluence of three-week-old horizontal line, falling trend line from May 06 will test buyers amid bullish MACD.
Sellers should look for entries below three-day-long support line.

USD/CHF prints 0.10% intraday gains while picking up bids to 0.8977, intraday high 0.8979, ahead of Friday’s European session. In doing so, the quote regains upside momentum, lost the previous day, backed by the bullish MACD.

It should, however, be noted that a convergence of crucial trend lines around 0.8990 should be considered a tough nut to crack for the USD/CHF buyers.

In a case where the pair crosses the 0.8990, a sustained break of the 0.9000 threshold becomes necessary to validate the run-up towards the mid-0.9000s.

Alternatively, pullback moves may rebound from an immediate rising support line near 0.8960, failures to do so can once again highlight the 0.8930-25 area comprising multiple levels marked since December 2020.

Overall, USD/CHF is consolidating the latest losses but the medium-term bulls have a long way to go.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.
