The USD/CHF is surging sharply during Friday’s North American session, as Wall Street is set to finish the last trading day of the week with losses. Therefore, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9260, above its opening price by 1.42%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

On Friday, the USD/CHF rally broke two downslope resistance trendlines, which would pave the way for further losses. In addition, the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9210 was reclaimed during the uptrend, exposing crucial resistance levels, which, once cleared it, could pave the way for further gains.

The USD/CHF first resistance will be the January 31 daily high at 0.9288. A breach of the latter and the 0.9307, the 50-day EMA is up for grabs., followed by January’s 12 high at 0.9360.

On the flip side, the USD/CHF first support would be the 20-day EMA at 0.9210. Bears reclaiming the latter would exacerbate a fall below 0.9200, followed by the February 3 daily low at 0.9112.

AUD/USD leans on a China prop that's quietly buckling

The Australian Dollar spent Monday trying to talk itself into a recovery, and the tape was not buying it. AUD/USD has ridden a China-and-commodities narrative for months, one that conveniently glossed over how shaky both legs of that trade have become, and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls print finally forced a reckoning. US employers added 172K jobs against a consensus near 85K, with roughly 93K of upward revisions to prior months and the unemployment rate steady at 4.3%.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen ignores every reason it has to strengthen

There is a strange disconnect running through the Japanese Yen right now, and USD/JPY parked just above 160.00 captures it perfectly. By any domestic reading the Yen should be firming: first-quarter Gross Domestic Product beat expectations over the weekend at 0.5% on the quarter, the Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise rates at its meeting on June 18, and authorities have spent the past week jawboning a currency they clearly want stronger.

Gold edges lower below $4,350 as Fed rate hike expectations grow

Gold price trades with mild losses around $4,325 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The precious metal remains on the defensive near its lowest since March 24 amid uncertainty in the Middle East and rising bets of a US interest rate hike.

Strategy resumes BTC accumulation with 1,550 Bitcoin purchase, adjusts STRC dividend schedule

Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy bought 1,550 BTC last week for roughly $101.3 million, according to a Form 8-K filing on Monday. The purchase, made at an average price of $65,332 per Bitcoin, was funded through proceeds from the company's at-the-market equity offering program.

$1.75 trillion: Is SpaceX the most popular IPO in history, or the most engineered?

On June 12, the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history is set to hit the tape, and almost nobody is asking whether the price is right, because almost everybody already wants in.

The US economy defies the rules: 100 days into the Oil shock and the recession signal is still missing

More than three months after the start of the Iran war and the resulting disruption to global energy markets, the US economy continues to display remarkable resilience. The conflict has triggered a sharp rise in Oil prices, reignited inflationary pressures and fueled widespread concerns about a potential economic slowdown.
