USD/CNH Price Analysis: Drops below 200-HMA to refresh weekly low

USD/CNH stretches Wednesday’s losses as sellers attack one-week bottom.
61.8% Fibonacci retracement can probe bears, a bumpy road ahead for the bulls.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CNH stands on the slippery ground while taking offers to 6.3795, down 0.12% intraday, during Thursday’s Asian session. In doing so, the pair not only refreshes intraday low but also attacks the last week’s bottom while declining for the second consecutive day.

Bearish MACD signals and a sustained downside break of 200-HMA offer extra catalysts in favor of the AUD/USD sellers.

However, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of June 01-04 upside, around 6.3795, not to forget previous Wednesday’s low near 6.3769, test further downside of the cross-currency pair.

In a case where USD/CNH bears keep reins below 6.3769, odds of witnessing a fresh low beneath the recent one near 6.3600 can’t be ruled out.

Alternatively, an upside clearance of 200-HMA level of 6.3865 needs to cross the 6.3900 round figures before attacking a downward sloping trend line from last Friday, near 6.3975.

The 6.4000 psychological magnet and the weekly top surrounding 6.4020 are extra hurdles for the USD/CNH buyers to watch.

AUD/USD slides below mid-0.6800s, lowest level since January amid bullish USD

AUD/USD weakens below mid-0.6800s, hitting a 10-month low during the Asian session on Thursday as the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike in December helps the US Dollar hold near its highest level since April 2025. Geopolitical uncertainty also supports the safe-haven buck, while the RBA’s cautious, on-hold stance weighs on the Aussie.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen slides toward 160.00 with Fed speakers and US PPI ahead

The 160.00 level is within reach of USD/JPY for the first time since early September, with Fed speakers and US producer prices still to come before the weekend. USD/JPY has left the range it held for seven weeks and reached just under 160.00, its highest since September 2. It's trading a little below that high, near the top of Wednesday's range.

Gold falls below $4,000 as Fed rate hike bets grow

Gold price tumbles to near $3,985 during the early Asian session on Thursday. The precious metal extends its downside as persistent inflation forces the US Federal Reserve to maintain its tightening policy.

Bitcoin Bull Score falls to 20 as USDT supply shrinks – CryptoQuant

Bitcoin's (BTC) market indicators have turned bearish at the same time, raising concerns that the top crypto could face a deeper correction despite historical similarities to previous market bottoms. In a report published Wednesday, CryptoQuant noted that its Bull Score Index dropped from 90 on October 13 to 20 in less than four weeks, reflecting a sharp deterioration in market conditions.

The Japanese Yen is doing something it hasn't done in ten weeks

USD/JPY climbs above the 159.00 resistance level, extending its advance on Wednesday, and bringing the Japanese Yen back toward its weakest levels in ten weeks amid renewed strength in the US Dollar. The move reflects a sharp repricing of Federal Reserve interest rate expectations following hawkish comments from Fed Governor Christopher Waller and stronger-than-expected US consumer inflation data.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
