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.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

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.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
