USD/CHF Price Analysis: Lingers below the 200-DMA as sellers target 0.8900

USD/CHF experiences a retreat, trading at 0.9014, marking a 0.76% decline, after failing to sustain a surge above the 0.9088 level.
A double top formation and a subsequent V-shape drop signal potential downside, with the 0.8986 weekly low in sight.
Key support looms at the psychological 0.9000 level, followed by the 50-DMA at 0.8938.

The USD/CHF retreats after climbing more than 0.70% on Thursday and oscillates below the 200-day moving average (DMA) as sellers outpaced buyers, as the pair failed to get acceptance above today’s daily high of 0.9088. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9014, down 0.76%.

After forming a double top, the USD/CHF dipped toward its current week low of 0.8986, before bouncing off to the 0.9080s region, but buyers' failure to extend its losses triggered a V-shape drop in the pair. If the USD/CHF slides below 0.9000, the current weekly low of 0.8986 would be exposed, followed by the 50-DMA at 0.8938.

Conversely, if USD/CHF buyers hold the exchange rate above the 200-DMA, sitting at 0.9019, that could open the door to test weekly highs of 0.9088, followed by the psychological 0.9100 figure. Once cleared, the next stop would be the October 3 cycle high of 0.9245.

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 recovers on positive US-Iran headlines

Gold extends its recovery during American trading hours on Monday, supported by falling Oil prices following positive headlines on US-Iran talks. The metal regains ground after hitting a fresh yearly low of $3,870 on Friday and ending October down 6.87%. However, the rebound lacks conviction as the fundamental backdrop continues to raise doubts over a sustained recovery.

Bitcoin braces for US midterm elections as historical sell-offs revive downside concerns

Bitcoin (BTC) braces for the impact of the US midterm elections, just a week after the $6 billion hack from Binance. Historically, congressional elections have negatively affected not just the president’s party but also Bitcoin. In the last 22 midterms, the ruling party has gained House seats only twice, while the three most recent elections coincided with Bitcoin’s bear market bottoms.

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.
