USD/CHF consolidates the recent jump around 0.9210, up 0.17% intraday, while heading into Wednesday’s European session. In doing so, the Swiss franc regains its stand above 200-HMA after clearing an immediate resistance line. Also suggesting further upside of the pair could be the bounce from 0.9190.

Hence, USD/CHF buyers are all set to challenge a horizontal area, including multiple levels since September 24, around 0.9250. Although, the quote’s further upside will be challenged by the 0.9280 intermediate resistance before recalling the monthly top, actually the highest since July 23, close to 0.9300.

If at all the traders manage to cross 0.9300 round-figures, the early-July low near 0.9365 will be in the spotlight.

Meanwhile, the 0.9200 threshold becomes nearby key support, including 200-HMA and the previous resistance line, ahead of the latest lows close to 0.9190.

Also likely to challenge the USD/CHF bears is an upward sloping trend line from September 16, at 0.9163 now.

EUR/USD recovers some early losses driven by rising energy prices amid US-Iran war

The EUR/USD pair claws back some of its early losses during the late Asian trading session on Monday, but is still 0.25% down to near 1.1780.

The market is paying for insurance, not apocalypse

As expected, this morning felt less like a Monday market open and more like a fire drill. Futures screens flickered red. S&P contracts down almost 1%. Nasdaq off 1.2%. Brent leaped 13% through $80. Gold rose 1.6% toward $5350 before paring some gains. The dollar is strutting mildly. The Swiss franc is quietly doing what it always does in a storm, catching some safe-haven flows.
