USD/CHF Price Analysis: Finished the week positive, though fell beneath 0.9270s

  • Albeit the USD/CHF fell 1% on Friday, the pair finished the week with gains of 0.45%.
  • USD/CHF remains sideways, though slightly tilted downwards, and it could test the 0.9200 mark.
  • If the USD/CHF reclaims 0.9300, that could pave the way to 0.9400.

The USD/CHF plunged after hitting fresh weekly highs around 0.9408, plummeting beneath the 0.9300 figure, on mixed US economic data that triggered a sell-off in the US Dollar (USD); therefore, the USD/CHF collapsed. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9281.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a weekly chart perspective, after hitting a weekly high of around 0.9408, the USD/CHF finished the week with gains of 0.45%. It should be said that the week ending on January 6 printed a candlestick with a significant upper wick, meaning that sellers are gathering momentum. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) extending its fall to bearish territory and the Rate of Change (RoC) aiming lower, the USD/CHF could test 0.9200 in the near term.

The USD/CHF daily chart portrays the pair as downward biased, though consolidating and unable to crack the 0,9200 mark. Following the upbreak of a falling wedge, the USD/CHF failed to gain traction and got trapped around the 0.9250-0.9400 mark.

Oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shifted gears, turning bearish, while the Rate of Change (RoC) suggests that sellers outpaced buyers.

Therefore, the USD/CHF first support would be the falling wedge top-trendline which turned support at 0.9240, followed by the 0.9200 mark. Break below, and the USD/CHF might fall toward the 2022 low of 0.9091. On the flip side, the USD/CHF first resistance would be the 0.9300 mark. Once cleared, the next resistance would be January’s 6 high of 0.9408, followed by the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9438.

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant below 0.7050 ahead of RBA on Tuesday

AUD/USD reverses an Asian session dip on Monday as renewed optimism over Iran diplomacy boosts investor confidence, keeping a lid on the safe-haven US Dollar and supporting the risk-sensitive Aussie. Spot prices, however, remain below the one-month high, touched last Thursday, as bulls wait for the crucial RBA decision before taking fresh positions.



USD/JPY climbs to 158.00 neighborhood as BoJ uncertainty weighs on the JPY

The USD/JPY pair gains some positive traction at the start of a new week, recovering further from Friday's post-Bank of Japan (BoJ) swing low to sub-157.00 levels. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 158.00 neighborhood during the Asian session and seems unaffected by fresh intervention warning from Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama.

Gold finds relief from Oil’s decline as traders await key US economic data

Gold retains a positive bias during American trading hours on Monday after sliding to a fresh yearly low of $3,870 on Friday and ending October down 6.87%. A pullback in Oil prices amid diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran supports the precious metal. However, the rebound lacks conviction as the fundamental backdrop continues to raise doubts over a sustained recovery.

Dogecoin risks deeper slide as whales diverge

Dogecoin hovers around $0.075 on Monday after falling for the fifth consecutive week since the end of September. Santiment data shows diverging whale activity, as large holders reduce their positions while smaller whale wallets accumulate tokens. Meanwhile, weakening on-chain metrics and a deteriorating technical outlook suggest that DOGE could remain vulnerable to further losses.

Why strong US growth could not stop the bond rally and AI selloff

The US economy grew at a 3.4% annual rate, yet Treasury yields fell and the Nasdaq ended October with its worst monthly performance since March 2025. The market is no longer rewarding capital expenditure simply because it supports growth. Investors are testing whether that expenditure can produce cash flow and returns above the cost of capital.



The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions
The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
