USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bears eye 0.9200 on breaking three-week-old support

USD/CHF takes offers to refresh intraday low after breaking an ascending trend line from January 24.
Steady RSI keeps bearish bias intact, key DMAs to offer a bumpy road to the south.
An 11-day-old resistance line adds to the upside filters.

USD/CHF refreshes intraday low around 0.9235, down 0.25% on a day after breaking a short-term crucial support line during Tuesday’s Asian session.

Given the absence of oversold RSI conditions and the pair’s sustained trading below a two-week-old resistance line, USD/CHF prices are likely to decline further.

As a result, the 100-DMA and the monthly low, respectively around 0.9215 and 0.9180, pop up on the bear’s radars.

However, the 200-DMA level of 0.9175 and multiple lows marked since late 2021 around 0.9090 will challenge the USD/CHF pair’s further downside.

On the flip side, recovery moves beyond the previous support line, around 0.9245 at the latest, isn’t an open invitation to the USD/CHF buyers as a short-term resistance line at 0.9280 will test the pair’s additional upside.

In a case where USD/CHF bulls keep reins past 0.9280, the 0.9300 threshold and the latest peak surrounding 0.9345, marked in January, will be crucial to watch.

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 after RBA-speak

AUD/USD picks up bids above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Tuesday, following hawkish comments from RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter and Governor Michele Bullock. However, escalating tensions in the Middle East and the Fed's hawkish outlook remain supportive of the bullish US Dollar undertone, which could limit the pair. The crucial Trump-Xi summit is later this week and remains in focus.

USD/JPY holds small gains near 157.50 as JPY intervention risks loom

USD/JPY posts modest gains while trading near 157.50 in the Asian session on Tuesday as intervention fears help limit losses for the Japanese Yen. However, the BoJ's dovish rate hike to a 31-year high keeps JPY bulls on the back foot. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a bullish undertone amid the Fed's hawkish outlook and escalating Middle East tensions, providing tailwinds for the pair.

Gold makes a U-turn; focus shifts to $4,400

Gold regains balance and now trades with decent gains, approaching the key $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The yellow metal’s advance comes despite the resumption of the buying interest in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and geopolitical uncertainty.

Trump meets Xi: Why markets are watching this summit so closely

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Washington on Thursday for a summit closely watched by markets. The meeting could determine whether the world's two largest economies extend their truce or enter a new period of uncertainty.

Energy and risk markets remain in the driver’s seat

US stock markets rallied up 2.26% (Nasdaq) yesterday with AI/tech names leading the advance. The Nasdaq even tested the all-time high reached early June. The likes of the S&P 500 and EuroStoxx50 recovered up to 1.5%. Positive risk vibes and lower energy prices supported consolidation on bond markets following the past month’s heavy losses. European yield curves bull steepened.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
