USD/CHF Price Analysis: Snaps two-day rebound from 200-DMA

USD/CHF consolidates intraday losses but stays mildly offered below 50-DMA.
Bearish MACD, failures to cross the immediate moving average keep sellers hopeful.

USD/CHF recovers from intraday low towards the 0.9200 as European traders brush their screens for a long Wednesday. Even so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair prints 0.12% daily losses, the first in a week, by the press time.

In doing so, the quote fades the early week bounce off 200-DMA while easing from 50-DMA. Also favoring the sellers are the bearish MACD signals and the pair’s sustained trading below the previous support line from early August.

That said. the 200-DMA level of 0.9146 gains immediate attention of the sellers ahead of the mid-August lows near 0.9100. However, any further weakness will be probed by 0.9020.

Meanwhile, corrective pullback remains less important until crossing the 50-DMA level of 0.9220.

Even if the quote rises past 0.9220, the support-turned-resistance line will challenge the USD/CHF bulls around 0.9285.

In a case where the quote remains firmer past 0.9285, September’s peak of 0.9332 may offer an intermediate halt during the quote’s rally targeting the yearly top surrounding 0.9370.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
