USD/CHF trims some of its Monday losses and shifts positively on Tuesday, gaining 0.47%. The USD/CHF is trading at 0.9151 after hitting a daily low of 0.9094 earlier in the European session.

USD/CHF Price action

After collapsing for three consecutive days, the USD/CHF found a bottom shy of the year-to-date (YTD) lows at 0.9070. However, the USD/CHF recovery has fallen short of cracking a previous low-turned resistance around 0.9160. That could exacerbate the downtrend, and the USD/CHF could be testing YTD lows soon.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in bearish territory, though turned flat. This means that sellers are taking a respite before pushing prices lower. The Rate of Change (RoC) portrays buyers stepping in but with insufficient force to shift the bias. The path of least resistance is downward biased.

The USD/CHF first support would be the 0.9100 figure. Break below, and the pair might fall toward March’s 13 daily low at 0.9070 before testing the YTD low at 0.9059, ahead of the 0.9000 figure. In an alternate scenario, the USD/CHF first resistance would be the March 13 daily high of 0.9205. Once cleared, the USD/CHF’s next resistance would be the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) At 0.9283 before reaching 0.9300.

British Pound eases to 1.3450 area following downwardly revised Manufacturing PMI data

The British Pound is trimming previous gains against the US Dollar on Monday, returning to the mid-range of the 1.3400s down from fresh seven-week highs, above 1.3500 earlier on the day. Weaker-than-expected UK manufacturing data added pressure on the Pound, which rallied at the Asian session opening, amid news of a halt to the hostilities in Iran.

EUR/USD consolidates previous week's gains above 1.1500

EUR/USD struggles to build on the previous week's impressive gains but manages to hold comfortably above 1.1500 on Monday. The USD loses traction and helps the pair hold its ground following US President Trump's call off an attack on Iran and that talks between the two sides would happen on Monday. Traders will closely monitor the developments surrounding US-Iran negotiations and US ISM PMI data.

Gold remains supported near $4,000

Gold adds to Friday’s pullback, although it remains well underpinned by the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce on Monday. The US Dollar’s inconclusive price action seems enough to cap the yellow metal’s potential upside, although renewed hopes for a US-Iran peace deal and fading expectations of a Fed rate hike could limit the Greenback’s recovery.

Week ahead: US payrolls report and AI earnings to keep investors on edge

After the Fed decision, NFP report awaited for more rate hike clues. Employment also on the agenda in Canada and New Zealand. Chinese trade and Japanese wage data to be watched too. But Iran and AI headlines to remain in driver’s seat for risk sentiment.

Solana risks a steeper decline below $70 despite steady ETF inflows

Solana (SOL) is trading in the red, losing bullish momentum and remaining capped below its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $75.68. SOL-focused Exchange Traded Funds show resilience with a monthly inflow of $14.62 million in July, while the near-term retail support wanes with the funding rate turning negative.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
