USD/CHF consolidates the biggest daily gains in three days while dropping back from a one-month high. That said, the Swiss currency pair (CHF) refreshes its intraday low to 0.9815 during Friday’s Asian session.

USD/CHF bears cheer the RSI retreat, as well as the pair’s inability to cross an upward sloping resistance line from June 17. Also keeping the sellers hopeful is the recent weakness below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) level of June 15-29 declines.

With this, the quote is likely to drop further towards a 12-day-old support line near 0.9800.

However, a confluence of the 200-SMA and 38.2% Fibo. near 0.9705 will be important for the USD/CHF bears to break to retake control.

On the flip side, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and monthly resistance line, respectively around 0.9840 and 0.9870, could restrict short-term advances of the pair.

In a case where USD/CHF prices rally beyond 0.9870, the odds of witnessing a run-up towards the mid-June peak of 1.0050 can’t be ruled out.

EUR/USD remains bid, focus stays on 1.1900

EUR/USD has broken its two-day run of losses and is ticking modestly higher on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1880 area as the US Dollar struggles to find clear direction. Weekly Initial Jobless Claims rose more than expected, taking a bit of shine off the Greenback, but markets are largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of Friday’s US CPI release.

GBP/USD sticks to the bid bias, still below 1.3700

GBP/USD is trading with decent gains around 1.3650 on Thursday. Indeed, Cable is attempting to shake off the weakness seen earlier in the week amid another choppy session for the Greenback, while a run of disappointing UK data has so far failed to derail the pair’s tentative recovery.
