USD/CHF Price Analysis: Plummets below 0.9000, golden-cross at risk

USD/CHF drops sharply, signaling potential end to Fed's rate hikes with investors favoring CHF.
Pair's fall below the 50 and 200-day moving averages at 0.9000 could lead to further declines.
For recovery, USD/CHF needs to breach 0.9000, targeting the November 1 high at 0.9112.

USD/CHF plummets in the mid-North American session on Friday after an employment report in the United States (US) could mark the end of the Federal Reserve (Fed) tightening cycle. Therefore, the US Dollar (USD) remains offered, as investors piled into the Swiss Franc (CHF), as shown by the pair trading at 0.8979, down 0.87%.

The daily chart shows the pair is slightly tilted to the downside despite remaining sideways, as USD/CHF has fallen below the confluence of the 50 and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at around 0.9000. In the case of a daily close below the latter, the major could dive to the next swing low seen at 0.8878, the October 24 low, before plunging to the August 30 daily low of 0.8745.

On the flip side, USD/CHF buyers must reclaim the 0.9000 figure – the confluence of the 50 and 200-DMAs- so they could remain hopeful of challenging the November 1 high at 0.9112, ahead of challenging the May 31 high at 0.9147. Up next would be the 0.9200 psychological level.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
