In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the U.S. dollar fell against the euro. The EUR/USD pair rose slightly from 1.0707 to 1.0759, following a gradual upward trend along the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, yesterday’s rise has pushed the pair from below the 20-period moving average (MA) to above it. However, the EUR/USD pair remains below the lower boundary of the daily uptrend line and has not yet returned to an uptrend; therefore, traders should remain cautious regarding price movements during European trading hours.
Among European currencies, the Swiss franc fell against the yen. The CHF/JPY pair dropped from 165.458 to 163.832, hitting a new low for the month.Although the CHF/JPY pair has broken below the support line of the daily 20-day moving average (MA) following yesterday’s decline, the 10-day MA is acting as a support line on the higher-timeframe weekly chart. We will be closely monitoring whether the pair will continue to decline to the low 160-yen range—the level of the weekly 20-day MA—as part of a time-based correction.
