USD/CHF Price Analysis: Wednesday’s hanging man, monthly resistance line highlight 0.9100 for bears

USD/CHF directs the previous day’s failure to cross 0.9150 towards 0.9100 round-figure.
50-day SMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement offer immediate supports amid bearish MACD.
Bulls can target 0.9200 after the trendline break.

USD/CHF drops to 0.9131, down 0.05%, while heading into the European session on Thursday. In doing so, the pair respects the previous day’s pullback from a falling trend line stretched from September 28. Additionally, bearish MACD and Wednesday’s hanging man candlestick offer extra support to the pair sellers.

As a result, the immediate support of 50-day SMA, near 0.9130, followed by 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of September month’s upside, near 0.9110, may fail to stop the USD/CHF bears before offering them the 0.9100 thresholds.

Though, the monthly low of 0.9087 and the September 10 bottom around 0.9050 can surely challenge the quote’s further selling towards the prior month’s low of 0.8998.

On the upside, a clear break of the mentioned trend line, at 0.9140 now, will trigger a fresh run-up towards the previous week’s peak near 0.9200 However, the monthly high near 0.9220 and 0.9245 can probe USD/CHF upside then after.

During the quote’s sustained rise past-0.9245, September 25 peak close to 0.9300 will lure the buyers.

EUR/USD drops below 1.1600 on broad USD strength

EUR/USD stays under bearish pressure and trades at a fresh six-week low below 1.1600 on Tuesday. Despite stronger-than-forecast inflation data from the Eurozone, the pair struggles to stage a rebound as the US Dollar continues to attract safe haven flows amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday.

Gold drops below $5,200 on stronger USD, rallying US yields

Gold attracts some intraday selling and falls below $5,200 on Tuesday. The US Dollar climbs to a fresh high since January 20 and turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the commodity. Meanwhile, the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield rises nearly 2% on the day, putting additional weight on XAU/USD's shoulders.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pull back as sentiment remains in extreme market fear

Middle East conflict ramps up a gear as energy price spike rips through markets

It’s another risk off day as geopolitical headwinds continue to batter financial markets. Although markets calmed during the US session and US stocks managed to post gains on Monday, this has not fed through to the European session, and stocks and bonds are sharply lower for a second day.

Hyperliquid Price Forecast: HYPE rises on commodities demand amid US-Iran war

Hyperliquid (HYPE) steadies above $33 at press time on Tuesday, marking its fourth consecutive day of recovery in a broadly volatile market due to the ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran.
