FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

USD/CHF closed the week below the 200-day average at 0.9084 after a sharp fall on Friday – which turns the bias of analysts at Credit Suisse to the downside, with next support at 0.8910.

Resistance sits at 0.9084/9102

“The broader downtrend is resuming and we turn our bias to the downside, with the next levels at 0.9000/8995, which is stalling the market this morning, then 0.8922/11, before 0.8871/62, which is an important price low.”

“With daily MACD accelerating lower and weekly MACD crossing back below MACDA, we would not even rule out a test of the 2021 low at 0.8757”

“Resistance now moves to the 200-day average at 0.9084/9102, which should now ideally cap to keep the risks directly lower. Above here, the next levels are seen at 0.9165.”

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar.

Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold remains offered just above $4,000

The estimates keep falling: Why Bitcoin's quantum countdown is accelerating

The threat that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing pose to Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies in general is no longer a matter of if hardware will catch up; it is a matter of when. Advances in AI-assisted research are adding a new dimension to the quantum computing threat, although neither technology can currently break Bitcoin’s cryptography on its own.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar
