USD/CNH reverses from intraday high, fades bounce off three-week low.

USD/CNH takes a U-turn from the daily top surrounding 6.6720 as 50-HMA tests the recovery moves inside a weekly triangle. Even so, the offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) pair snaps a four-day downtrend while bouncing off a three-week low, up 0.14% intraday near 6.6675 during Wednesday’s Asian session.

Given the recent pick-up in the RSI (14), the USD/CNH rebound may extend towards breaking the aforementioned triangle’s resistance, around 6.6760.

However, the 100-HMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of May 04-13, respectively around 6.7000 and 6.7250, will be strong resistance for the pair to cross afterward.

On the contrary, a convergence of the stated triangle’s support line and 78.6% Fibo. highlights 6.6560 as the short-term key support.

Should USD/CNH bears manage to conquer the 6.6560, the odds of witnessing the pair’s slump towards the monthly low of 6.6116 can’t be ruled out.

EUR/USD recedes to daily lows near 1.1850

EUR/USD keeps its bearish momentum well in place, slipping back to the area of 1.1850 to hit daily lows on Monday. The pair’s continuation of the leg lower comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar in a context of scarce volatility and thin trade conditions due to the inactivity in the US markets.

GBP/USD resumes the downtrend, back to the low-1.3600s

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Friday’s decent advance, refocusing on the downside and retreating to the 1.3630 region at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the British Pound is expected to remain under the microscope ahead of the release of the key UK labour market report on Tuesday.

Gold looks inconclusive around $5,000

Gold partially fades Friday’s strong recovery, orbiting around the key $5,000 region per troy ounce in a context of humble gains in the Greenback on Monday. Additing to the vacillating mood, trade conditions remain thin amid the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the US.

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.
