USD/CHF, “US Dollar vs Swiss Franc”

As we can see in the H4 chart, USDCHF is trading between 0/8 and 1/8. In this case, the price is expected to break 1/8 and then continue growing towards the resistance at 3/8. However, this scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks 0/8 to the downside. After that, the instrument may continue falling to reach the support at -2/8.

In the M15 chart, the VoltyChannel indicator confirms only the second scenario, which implies a further decline towards -2/8. Under these circumstances, we should follow the H4 chart and wait until the price breaks 1/8.

XAU/USD, “Gold vs US Dollar”

In the H4 chart, XAUUSD is consolidating. In this case, the price is expected to continue falling to reach the support at 3/8. However, this scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks 5/8 to the upside. After that, the instrument may continue growing towards the resistance at 8/8.

As we can see in the M15 chart, the pair has broken the downside line of the VoltyChannel indicator and, as a result, continue the descending tendency towards 3/8 from the H4 chart.

BoJ recap: A pause for now... but Japan has entered a new inflation phase

The Bank of Japan left its short-term policy rate unchanged at 1.25% but delivered a distinctly hawkish message on the risk of an inflation overshoot. The decision passed by 8-1, with board member Takata dissenting in favour of an increase to 1.5%, while Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed that the Bank would continue adjusting policy as needed.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
