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.

GBP/USD rebounds above 1.3200 as USD loses traction

GBP/USD starts the week on a bullish note and advances toward 1.3250 on Monday. The pair recovers ground as the US Dollar uptrend falters and traders resort to profit-taking ahead of Tuesday's US-Iran peace talks and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's appearance on Wednesday at the ECB Forum.

EUR/USD clings to modest gains near 1.1400

EUR/USD gains traction on Monday and trades moderately higher on the day above 1.1400, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Traders continue to assess the developments surrounding talks to end the US war with Iran. The European Central Bank's annual forum and the US June employment data will be the highlights later this week.

Gold stays in red near $4,050 as US-Iran clash revives inflation fears

Gold price remains in the negative territory around $4,050 in Monday's European trading. The bullion struggles as military clashes between the United States and Iran in the strategic Strait of Hormuz have revived inflation concerns, bolstering Fed rate hike expectations. However, a broad US Dollar retreat is helping limit Gold's downside.

Bitcoin four-year cycle: BTC risks 75% drawdown with four months of bear market still ahead

Bitcoin price continues to trend downward below the $60,000 support zone after losing over 50% of its value since the $126,199 high in October. Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, measured from cycle tops to bottoms, suggests that four months of a bear market are still ahead.

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
