USD/CNH extends its losses for the second successive session, trading lower near the 7.2100 psychological level during the Asian session on Friday. The People's Bank of China (PBoC) has consistently set the reference rate at levels lower than what modeled estimates suggest. Additionally, strategic moves have been made to bolster the offshore Yuan (CNH) by selling the US Dollar (USD) in the open market.

The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 7.1985 acts as an immediate support followed by the 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 7.1899. A firm break below the 14-day EMA could put downward pressure on the USD/CNH pair to navigate the support region around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 7.1772 aligned with the week’s low at 7.1748.

The technical analysis of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for the USD/CNH pair reveals a bullish outlook. The MACD line is situated above the centerline and displays divergence above the signal line. This configuration suggests a potential uptrend in the market. With this bullish sentiment, there is a possibility that the pair may revisit the week's high at 7.2322.

Furthermore, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a lagging indicator, is positioned above the 50 mark. This suggests a confirmation of stronger momentum for the USD/CNH pair. With this increased momentum, there is potential for the bulls to strengthen their position, potentially surpassing the week's high and exploring levels around the psychological mark at 7.2500.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
