USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Symmetrical triangle on hourly chart signals return of 1.0000

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CHF is trading near 1.0020 while heading into the European session on Monday. If we observe a week’s movement, the short-term symmetrical triangle can be spotted on an hourly chart.

With the quote’s recent U-turn from formation resistance, chances of its pullback to the pattern-support figure of 1.0000 seem brighter.

In doing so, 1.0010 can offer an intermediate halt to the prices.

Should there be additional downside past-1.0000, 0.9980, 0.9960 and 0.9930 can come back on the chart.

Meanwhile, an upside clearance of 1.0025 resistance-line can trigger the pair’s increase to 1.0035 and then to 1.0045.

Given the buyers manage to rule beyond 1.0045, 61.8% Fibonacci expansion (FE) of current month moves, at 1.0070, could flash on their radar to target.

EUR/USD holds losses near 1.1850 as US, China holidays keep trade muted

EUR/USD opens the week on a softer note, trading near 1.1860 during the Asian session on Monday. Activity is likely to remain muted, with United States markets closed for the Presidents’ Day holiday, while Mainland China is also shut for the week-long Lunar New Year break.

GBP/USD flat lines as traders await key UK macro data and FOMC minutes

The GBP/USD pair kicks off a new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow range, just below mid-1.3600s, during the Asian session. Moreover, the mixed fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for aggressive traders as the market focus now shifts to this week's important releases from the UK and the US.

Gold remains below $5,050 despite Fed rate cut bets, uncertain geopolitical tensions

Gold edges lower after registering over 2% gains in the previous session, trading around $5,030 per troy ounce during the Asian hours on Monday. However, the non-interest-bearing Gold could further gain ground following softer January Consumer Price Index figures, which reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut rates later this year.

Top Crypto Losers: Dogecoin, Zcash, Bonk – Meme and Privacy coins under pressure

Meme coins such as Dogecoin and Bonk, alongside the privacy coin Zcash (ZEC), are leading the broader market losses over the last 24 hours. DOGE, ZEC, and BONK ended their three consecutive days of recovery with a sudden decline on Sunday, as crucial resistance levels capped the gains. Technically, the altcoins show downside risk, starting the week under pressure.

Global inflation watch: Signs of cooling services inflation

Realized inflation landed close to expectations in January, as negative base effects weighed on the annual rates. Remaining sticky inflation is largely explained by services, while tariff-driven goods inflation remains limited even in the US.

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.
