USD/CHF struggles to keep the first daily gains in four around three-week low.

USD/CHF fades bounce off three-week low to revisit 0.9200 amid early Wednesday. The Swiss currency (CHF) pair drops during the last three days before bouncing off 0.9157 support on Tuesday.

In doing so, the quote portrays a weekly descending channel to tease the sellers. Adding to the bearish bias is the sluggish Momentum line that doesn’t support the latest rebound, as well as sustained trading below the 100-SMA.

That said, the quote presently aims for a convergence of the stated channel and an ascending trend line from early November, close to 0.9145-40.

However, the pair’s further weakness will have multiple hurdles around 0.9100, a break of which will direct USD/CHF sellers to attack the last month’s low near 0.9088.

Meanwhile, buyers may aim for the 100-SMA and channel’s resistance line, near 0.9255-60, during additional upside.

In a case where the USD/CHF prices cross the 0.9260 hurdle, a fortnight-old horizontal line near 0.9325 will challenge the bulls before directing them to November’s peak of 0.9373.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP extends recovery as on-chain activity grows

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
