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.

EUR/USD struggles to hold above 1.1800 as USD stabilizes

EUR/USD loses its recovery momentum and retreats below 1.1800 in the second half of the day on Tuesday. The US Dollar finds a foothold after staying under pressure in the early European session, limiting the pair's upside in the near term.

GBP/USD pares gains below 1.3700 as mood turns cautious

GBP/USD enters a consolidation phase and holds steady near 1.3650 after rising above 1.3700 to start the European session. The cautious market mood seems to be making it difficult for Pound Sterling to outperform the US Dollar, while investors refrain from taking large positions ahead of the Bank of England's policy meeting later in the week.

Gold gathers recovery momentum, climbs above $4,900

Gold recovers further from its lowest level since January 6 and trades above $4,900, rising about 6% on a daily basis. The US Dollar holds steady following Monday's advance but XAU/USD preserves its bullish momentum, possibly supported by dip-buying that came after the sharp decline.
