The US Dollar is faring better than the Swiss Franc amid the cautious market mood on Friday. The pair has managed to trim some losses but is struggling to rise above the 0.8080 previous support area during its recovery attempt from the 0.8057 lows.
The risk-averse market mood is underpinninfg the safe-haven US Dollar on Friday, as investors’ concerns about an AI bubble have sent US and Asian equity markets tumbling in a negative trend that has extended into the European session.
Technical Analysis: An evening star pattern suggests a deeper correction
Momentum indicators in the 4-Hour chart suggest that the rebound from session lows remains frail. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flattening around the 50 line that divides positive from negative territory, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a mild bearish trend.
A look at the daily chart reveals an “evening star” candle pattern, a formation that suggests an exhausting bull market. Bears, however, would need to break the 0.8060 daily low and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of last week’s bullish cycle, near 0.8045. Further down, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at the 0.8000 psychological level emerges as a plausible target.
To the upside, a confirmation above the mentioned 0.8080 area would clear the path towards the November 5 high at 0.8125. Beyond here, August’s peak, at 0.8170, would come into focus.
