The USD/CHF retreats from year-to-date (YTD) highs reached on Wednesday and drops below the 0.9100 figure as risk appetite improves. The major trades were down by 0.9099 by 0.32%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a technical perspective, the daily chart depicts the pair as upward biased. After bottoming around the 0.8300 figure, successive series of higher highs and higher lows, alongside the breach of key resistance levels like the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (DMAs), opened the door for further upside.

However, after peaking at around 0.9147, the USD/CHF dipped below the April 3 high turned support at 0.9095, but unless the pair closes below the latter, the rally remains alive. The first resistance would be the 0.9100 mark, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.9147. Once cleared, the next stop would be the 0.9200 mark, closely followed by the October 3 high of 0.9245.

In the scenario of sellers pushing spot prices below 0.9095, that could pave the way for testing the April 10 swing low of 0.9023, followed by 0.9000.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
