USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bulls step back from 0.9265 hurdle

USD/CHF refreshes intraday low while consolidating the biggest daily gains in a month.
100-SMA, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of November’s upside challenge immediate advances.
200-SMA, monthly support line restrict short-term losses, Fibo. levels act as additional filters.

USD/CHF steps back from the weekly top while teasing intraday lows around 0.9250 during early Tuesday.

The Swiss currency (CHF) pair marked the biggest daily gains since early November the previous day but couldn’t overcome the confluence of 100-SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of November 01-24 upside, around 0.9265.

The latest pullback eyes 50% Fibo. near 0.9230 but the 200-SMA level of 0.9210 will challenge the USD/CHF declines afterward.

Should the quote drops past 0.9210, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and an ascending trend line from early November, around 0.9200 and 0.9175 in that order, will be crucial to watch.

Meanwhile, a clear upside break of the 0.9265 hurdle will need validation from the 0.9300 round figure and the November 17 peak of 0.9330 before directing the USD/CHF bulls to the previous month’s top near 0.9375.

Overall, USD/CHF may witness a short-term pullback but key supports to the south will challenge the bears.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD holds gains above 1.1400 on hawkish ECB expectations despite US-Iran tensions

The EUR/USD pair trades with mild gains around 1.1405 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. A hawkish tone from the European Central Bank provides some support to the Euro against the US Dollar. Traders await the upcoming ECB interest rate decision on Thursday.

Gold hits one-week high, near $4,100 as bulls shrug off Fed hike bets and firmer USD

Gold advances to an over one-week high during the Asian session on Wednesday, with bulls now awaiting a move beyond $4,100 before positioning for additional gains. However, concerns about energy-driven inflation risks continue to fuel Fed rate-hike bets and act as a tailwind for the US Dollar amid escalating US-Iran tensions, which, in turn, could cap the bullion.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
