EUR/CHF technical analysis: Bounces up from key support, eyes Oct. 17 high

EUR/CHF is looking north, having bounced up from key MA support.
The 4-hour chart indicators are also reporting bullish conditions.

EUR/CHF is better bid at 1.1030 press time and could challenge the Oct. 17 high of 1.1059 in the next 24 hours.

The 4-hour chart shows, the currency pair has bounced up from the 50-period moving average (MA). That ascending (bullish) technical line has emerged as strong support in the last eight days.

The strong bounce from the key MA support is backed by an above-50 reading on the relative strength index.

As a result, further gains could be seen, possibly toward 1.1059, as said earlier.

The bullish case would be invalidated if the spot finds acceptance below the 4-hour chart 50-candle MA, currently at 1.1008.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
