USD/CNH Price Analysis: Weekly chart suggests further downside

USD/CNH keeps the break of 16-month-old trend line despite bouncing off 6.9276.
Bearish MACD, lack of oversold RSI indicates room for additional declines.
6.9700 resistance confluence restricts the pair’s immediate upside.

USD/CNH picks up the bids near 6.9355/60 during the early Thursday. The pair refreshed five-month low the previous day. In doing so, it extends the downside break of an ascending trend line from April 2019.

Other than the sustained downside below the key support line, now resistance, bearish MACD and an absence of oversold RSI conditions also favor the sellers.

As a result, March month’s low near 6.9050 acts as immediate support for the pair sellers to watch ahead of 6.9000 round-figures. In a case where the bears dominate past-6.9000, the yearly bottom surrounding 6.8455 will be challenged.

Alternatively, the support-turned-resistance line joins 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s upside between March 2018 and September 2019 to confine the immediate upside near 6.9700.

Additionally, 7.000 psychological magnet and late-July top near 7.0300 could lure the bulls past-6.9700.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close.

Gold sticks to a negative bias below $5,000; lacks bearish conviction

Gold remains depressed for the second consecutive day and trades below the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Tuesday, as a positive risk tone is seen undermining safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, bets for more interest rate cuts by the Fed keep a lid on the recent US Dollar bounce and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion, warranting caution for bearish traders ahead of FOMC minutes on Wednesday.
