USD/CHF Price Analysis: Rebounds from weekly lows and approaches 0.9200

  • USD/CHF gains momentum, signaling a possible bullish trend in coming sessions.
  • Double bottom in the 4-hour chart could pave the USD/CHF way to 0.9300.
  • USD/CHF Price Analysis: Daily close above 0.9220 would confirm the double bottom.

The USD/CHF bounces off weekly lows of 0.9136 and climbs toward testing 0.9200 in the North American session. After hitting a daily high of 0.9226, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9199, above its opening price.

USD/CHF Price action

Early, the USD/CHF tested last week’s low of 0.9118; since then, it has not looked back. However, as long as the USD/CHF pair achieves a daily close below 0.9200, that would keep the major trading sideways, awaiting a fresh catalyst. On the other hand, the USD/CHF could resume upwards, and it might test the 20 and 50-day EMAs, each at 0.9240 and 0.9272, respectively. Upside risks lie at 0.9300, followed by the 100-day EMA at 0.9343.

Short term, the USD/CHF 4-hour chart portrays a double bottom formed. However, the exchange rate must clear the March 24 high at 0.9216 to confirm its validity. That would pave the way toward the March 21 high of 0.9317, but the pair needs to hurdle some resistance levels on its way north.

The USD/CHF first resistance would be 0.9216. A breach of the latter wand the USD/CHF will face the 100-EMA at 0.9233, followed by the 200-EMA at 0.9255. Once broken, the 0.9300 figure would be up for grabs.

AUD/USD extends the range play above 0.7200 as traders await US inflation data

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price move above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Thursday amid mixed cues. Rising RBA rate-hike bets keep the Aussie close to its highest level since May 14. However, hawkish Fed expectations and escalating US-Iran tensions offer some support to the US Dollar, capping the currency pair as traders await US inflation figures.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold holds steady above $4,400 as traders seem hesitant ahead of US inflation data

Gold hovers around the $4,400 mark through the Asian session on Thursday as traders seem hesitant to place directional bets ahead of US inflation figures. The US Producer Price Index report will be published later this Thursday, while the US Consumer Price Index is due on Friday. The key data will provide more cues about the Federal Reserve's policy path, which should influence US Dollar price dynamics and provide a fresh impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

XRP rally cools, XLM heads toward a make-or-break support
Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) trade under pressure on Thursday after losing over 2% and 3% so far this week. XRP and XLM are both nearing their crucial support zones, which could determine the next directional move. Meanwhile, mixed derivatives and on-chain data suggest upside potential remains limited for both altcoins. CryptoQuant’s summary data shows cautious signs for both altcoins.
Jobs opened the door for the Fed — inflation decides whether it walks through

The latest US jobs report did not end the debate over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. It may have done something more subtle: it gave policymakers permission to keep their options open. After months of softer labour market signals, August delivered a stronger-than-expected rebound.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
