CAD/CHF, “Canadian Dollar vs Swiss Franc”

CADCHF is trading at 0.7439; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.7425 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.7335. Another signal in favor of a further downtrend will be the formation of a Head & Shoulders reversal pattern. However, the bearish scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.7485. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.7575. To confirm further decline, the asset must break the rising channel’s downside border and fix below 0.7420.

EUR/CHF, “Euro vs Swiss Franc”

EURCHF is trading at 1.0984; the instrument is moving above Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating an ascending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s upside border at 1.0975 and then resume moving upwards to reach 1.1050. Another signal in favor of a further uptrend will be the formation of a Double Bottom reversal pattern – as we can see, the asset has tested the support area at 1.0930 twice. However, the bullish scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks the cloud’s downside border and fixes below 1.0940. In this case, the pair may continue falling towards 1.0855. To confirm further growth, the asset must break the descending channel’s upside border and fix above 1.1005.

NZD/CAD, “New Zealand Dollar vs Canadian Dollar”

NZDCAD is trading at 0.8720; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.8735 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.8585. Another signal in favor of a further downtrend will be a rebound from the bearish channel’s upside border. However, the bearish scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.8780. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.8890.

Three fundamental drivers are all pushing the Euro south. This chart shows them lining up on 1.1000

EUR/USD has already fallen sharply, but the forces pushing the pair lower are becoming increasingly interconnected.

The UK 30-year gilt just hit a 1998 high. Is that good or bad for the British Pound?

The yield on the UK's 30-year government bond, or gilt, went through 6% on October 1 for the first time since early 1998, and on Monday the Pound was at its strongest against the Euro since June 2025.
