USD/CHF Price Analysis: Sellers attack a three-week-old support line below 0.9500

USD/CHF recedes from intraday high of 0.9465.
Multiple Doji candlesticks around the key support line portray the traders’ indecision, Bearish MACD keeps sellers hopeful.
100-bar EMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement limits the pair’s near-term upside.

USD/CHF registers another pullback from 0.9465/64 area while declining to 0.9458 during the pre-European session on Thursday. While a short-term support line stretched from June 11 currently questions the sellers, bearish MACD signals and sustained trading below 100-bar EMA suggests further downside of the quote.

Hence, traders should wait for a clear downside break of the said support line, currently around 0.9455, to aim for June 23 low near 0.9420 and 0.9400 round-figures.

However, June month bottom near 0.9375 will be the tough nut to crack for the pair sellers past-0.9400.

Alternatively, short-term buyers will look for entries beyond the 100-bar EMA level of 0.9501. In doing so, the June-end top near 0.9533 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of June-05-11 fall, around 0.9550, could be on their radars.

In a case where the bulls dominate past-0.9550, 0.9590 and 0.9600 could offer intermediate halts during the run-up to 0.9650.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.

GBP/USD reaches multi-day lows near 1.3500

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, approaching the 1.3500 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold battle to regain $5,000 continues

Gold is back on the front foot on Wednesday, shaking off part of the early week softness and challenging two-day highs near the $5,000 mark per troy ounce. The move comes ahead of the FOMC Minutes and is unfolding despite an intense rebound in the US Dollar.

Australia unemployment rate set to edge up within overall strong labor market

The Australian monthly employment report is scheduled for release on Thursday at 00:30 GMT, and market participants anticipate a modest increase in jobs in January. The Australian Bureau of Statistics is expected to announce that the country added 20K new jobs in the month, while the Unemployment Rate is forecast at 4.2%, up from the 4.1% posted in December.

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.

Sui extends sideways action ahead of Grayscale’s GSUI ETF launch
