USD/CNH Price Analysis: Recovers to the 50-hour SMA hurdle

USD/CNH has bounced from multi-month lows to the 50-hour SMA resistance.
Intraday charts show scope for a further corrective rally.

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

USD/CNH is currently trading near the 50-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) hurdle of 6.4447, having printed a low of 6.4119 on Tuesday. That was the lowest level since June 2018.

The hourly and 4-hour chart relative strength indices (RSI) have now diverged in favor of the bulls. Meanwhile, the daily chart RSI is reporting oversold conditions with a below-30 print.

As such, a stronger corrective bounce to the 4-hour chart hurdle-turned-support of 6.4927 could be seen. However, a failure to beat the 50-hour SMA may invite selling pressure, yielding a drop to fresh multi-month lows below 6.40.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The yellow metal surrenders part of its earlier gains on the back of the resurgence of the buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
