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.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
