USD/CHF Price Analysis: Pares recent losses, stays on bear’s radar unless crossing 0.9160

  • USD/CHF picks up bids to refresh intraday high, extend previous week’s rebound from 22-month low.
  • Bullish MACD signals allow USD/CHF to consolidate recent losses but March’s low guards immediate upside.
  • Multiple resistance lines, 100-SMA stand tall to challenge USD/CHF bulls.
  • Sellers need validation from 0.9035 to aim for fresh multi-month low.

USD/CHF renews its intraday high near 0.9065 during early Easter Monday in Europe. In doing so, the Swiss Franc (CHF) pair extends the previous day’s recovery from a 22-month low while approaching a one-month-old support-turned-resistance surrounding 0.9075.

It’s worth noting that the bullish MACD signals join the corrective bounce off the multi-day low to lure USD/CHF buyers as they approach the previous support near 0.9075.

Even if the quote manages to stay firmer past 0.9075, downward-sloping resistance lines from March 26 and 15, respectively near 0.9095 and 0.9145, can check the USD/CHF buyers.

Even so, the Swiss currency pair buyers need to portray a successful upside break of the 100-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA), around 0.9160, to please the USD/CHF buyers.

Following that, 0.9225 and a late March swing high of around 0.9345 will be in focus.

On the flip side, multiple lows around 0.9035-30 can test the USD/CHF bears before recalling them to the driver’s seat. However, the 0.9000 psychological magnet may challenge the sellers afterward.

In a case where USD/CHF remains bearish past 0.9000, June 2021 low near 0.8925 may lure the sellers.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7200; US NFP awaited

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7200, near its highest level since mid-May, as bulls await the US NFP report for more cues on the Fed's policy path before placing fresh bets. Meanwhile, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near its lowest level in over a week and acts as a tailwind for the Aussie amid the RBA's hawkish tilt.

Gold holds steady below $4,500; looks to US NFP for fresh impetus

Gold consolidates its strong gains recorded over the past two days and trades below $4,500 during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting the US NFP report for cues about the Fed's policy path amid reduced September rate-hike bets. In the meantime, the recent fall in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed and acts as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU recover as US ISM Services PMI edges higher in August
Bitcoin (BTC) strongly rises to trade above the pivotal $80,000 level on Thursday. The Crypto King is rallying alongside broader cryptocurrency prices following the release of the United States (US) Services PMI. Gold (XAU/USD) is similarly bullish, trading at $4,500 at the time of writing. The metal is up over 2% on the day, signaling the return of bulls as market sentiment improves.
Canada's 6.4% unemployment rate: Why Friday's jobs print puts the BoC's slack story on trial
The Bank of Canada (BoC) held at 2.25% on Wednesday for a seventh straight meeting and rewrote the one paragraph that still argues against a hike. In July, the BoC’s statement called the labour market soft and pinned the unemployment rate inside a 6.5%-7% range it had held since the end of 2024. July's Labour Force Survey (LFS) then printed 6.4%.
Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
