USD/CHF Price Analysis: Rebounds from 0.8930 amid a delay in US debt-ceiling increase proposal

  • USD/CHF has sensed buying interest after a corrective move to near 0.8930.
  • House Speaker McCarthy said the debt limit can't pass without dealing with the budget.
  • S&P500 futures are showing minor losses after a super-bullish Thursday, indicating a caution amid overall upbeat market mood.

The USD/CHF pair has rebounded after a corrective move to near 0.8930 in the early Asian session. The Swiss Franc asset has sensed buying interest amid an absence of a clear path for an increase in the US debt-ceiling limit. House Speaker McCarthy said the debt limit can't pass without dealing with the budget, as reported by Bloomberg.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has taken a sigh of relief amid a delay in the increase of the debt ceiling limit as an occurrence that will impact the long-term rating of the United States economy and will impact the US Dollar and domestic equities.

S&P500 futures are showing minor losses after a super-bullish Thursday, indicating a caution amid an overall upbeat market mood.

The Swiss Franc will remain in action ahead of the speech from Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Thomas J. Jordan. SNB Jordan is expected to provide cues about the likely monetary policy action ahead.

USD/CHF has recovered sharply after a Double Bottom chart formation on a four-hour scale near 0.8863. The Swiss Franc asset is aiming to conquer the downward-sloping trendline plotted from March 08 high at 0.9439.

The major has climbed above the 20-and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 0.8921 and 0.8935 respectively, indicating solid short-term upside bias.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has stepped above 60.00. Sustainability above the same will activate the bullish momentum.

Should the asset decisively breaks above the 23.6% Fibo retracement around 0.9000, US Dollar bulls will drive the asset towards April 07 low at 0.9034 followed by 38.6% Fibo retracement plotted at 0.9082.

Alternatively, a downside move below April 17 low at 0.8922 will drag the asset toward April 13 low at 0.8860. A slippage below the latter will expose the asset to the round-level support at 0.8800.

EUR/USD trims losses, flirts with the 1.1850 zone

EUR/USD is back on the back foot on Wednesday, slipping below the 1.1850 area as the US Dollar picks up some modest traction. The move comes as traders position ahead of a busy run of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Adding to the pullback are reports that the ECB’s Lagarde may step down before completing her term.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple remain under pressure on Wednesday, with the broader trend still sideways. BTC is edging below $68,000, nearing the lower consolidating boundary, while ETH and XRP also declined slightly, approaching their key supports.
