USD/CHF consolidates recent gains around 0.9320 during early Tuesday, following two-day advances to poke October’s high.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair eases below a downward sloping trend line from early April. However, an ascending support line from November 09 and a firmer Momentum line favor USD/CHF buyers to aim for the 0.9340 immediate resistance.

On a daily closing beyond 0.9340, the previous month’s top of 0.9368 can act as an intermediate halt before directing the quote towards the yearly high, marked in April around 0.9475.

Meanwhile, the 0.9300 threshold will precede the stated immediate support line, near 0.9230, to challenge short-term USD/CHF sellers.

Additionally, July month’s high of 0.9275 and the 50-DMA level of 0.9231 offer extra tests for the pair sellers to pass ahead of retaking the controls.

To sum up, USD/CHF buyers can ignore the latest pullback moves.

EUR/USD flat lines below 1.1900; divergent Fed-ECB expectations offer support

The market trades the path not the past

The payroll number did not just beat. It reset the tone. 130,000 vs. 65,000 expected, with a 35,000 whisper. 79 of 80 economists leaning the wrong way. Unemployment and underemployment are edging lower. For all the statistical fog around birth-death adjustments and seasonal quirks, the core message was unmistakable. The labour market is not cracking.

Ripple (XRP) is edging lower around $1.36 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by low retail interest and macroeconomic uncertainty, which is accelerating risk-off sentiment.
