USD/CHF Price Analysis: Climbs toward 0.9370s as a double-bottom emerged

  • USD/CHF bounces around the last week’s lows around 0.9310s.
  • Near term, the USD/CHF formed a double bottom, which targets a rally towards 0.9430s.

The USD/CHF bounces from last week’s lows around 0.9313 and rises toward 0.9350s, due to a slight jump in US Dollar (USD) demand, amidst an optimistic market sentiment. Elevated US Treasury yields and market-moving economic data from the US due Tuesday bolstered the USD. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9378, above its opening price.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

With the USD/CHF climbing in the North American session after bottoming at the falling-wedge bottom trendline, the USD/CHF remains neutral to downward biased. Nevertheless, a clear break above last Friday’s high of 0.9381 could pave the way to challenge the 0.9400 figure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI0 at bearish territory suggests sellers remain in charge; whatsoever the Rate of Change (RoC) indicates, they are losing momentum.

Short term, the USD/CHF formed a double bottom in the one-hour chart, which would be confirmed by a decisive break above 0.9381. Once achieved, the USD/CHF following resistance would be 0.9400, followed by the December 8 daily high of 0.9426, ahead of 0.9455. On the flip side, the USD/CHF first support would be the 100-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9368. A breach of the latter will expose the 50-EMA at 0.9353, followed by the 20-EMA at 0.9347.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading 

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

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

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
