USD/CHF renews its intraday high near 0.9065 during early Easter Monday in Europe. In doing so, the Swiss Franc (CHF) pair extends the previous day’s recovery from a 22-month low while approaching a one-month-old support-turned-resistance surrounding 0.9075.

It’s worth noting that the bullish MACD signals join the corrective bounce off the multi-day low to lure USD/CHF buyers as they approach the previous support near 0.9075.

Even if the quote manages to stay firmer past 0.9075, downward-sloping resistance lines from March 26 and 15, respectively near 0.9095 and 0.9145, can check the USD/CHF buyers.

Even so, the Swiss currency pair buyers need to portray a successful upside break of the 100-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA), around 0.9160, to please the USD/CHF buyers.

Following that, 0.9225 and a late March swing high of around 0.9345 will be in focus.

On the flip side, multiple lows around 0.9035-30 can test the USD/CHF bears before recalling them to the driver’s seat. However, the 0.9000 psychological magnet may challenge the sellers afterward.

In a case where USD/CHF remains bearish past 0.9000, June 2021 low near 0.8925 may lure the sellers.

GBP/USD slides below 1.3250 after failing to break through 23.6% Fibo

The GBP/USD pair meets with a fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and moves away from a nearly two-week high around the 1.3275 region, touched the previous day.

Gold surpasses $4,100, six-day highs

Gold keeps pushing higher and climbs to multi-day peaks north of the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. The precious metal’s marked rebound comes in response to the US Dollar’s knee-jerk, a somewhat less hawkish tone from the Fed’s Warsh and positive headlines from the Middle East.

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.
