USD/CHF Price Analysis: Retreats from weekly highs amidst ongoing consolidation

USD/CHF trades at 0.9058, capped on the topside by 0.9117/20; on the downside by the confluence of the 50 and 20-day EMAs at 0.9041 and 0.9039.
A decisive break below 0.8980 could push USD/CHF towards June 9, 2021, low at 0.8925.
To continue bullish momentum, USD/CHF needs to break past the 0.9120 area, eyeing April 3 high at 0.9196.

USD/CHF halts its rally to just two days, retraces from weekly highs reached on Monday at 0.9109, shy of testing the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9117. Therefore, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9058, below its opening price by 0.34%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF daily chart is neutral to downward biased but cushioned on the downside by the presence of the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9041, immediately followed by the 20-day EMA at 0.9039. Conversely, USD/CHF's first resistance is the weekly high, followed by the 100-day EMA and April 10 high at the 0.9117/20 area, tested three times. However, the USD/CHF remains trading below the latter since the end of March 2023.

If USD/CHF would resume its downtrend, it needs a decisive break below the June 9 swing low of 0.8980. Once cleared, the USD/CHF would slide toward June 9, 2021, a low of 0.8925, before testing the 0.8900 figure.

Conversely, for a USD/CHF bullish continuation, the pair must claim the 0.9120 area. Once broken, the USD/CHF next supply zone would be the April 3 high at 0.9196 before challenging the 0.9200 handle.

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.

Gold rallies above $5,150 as Trump’s tariffs boost haven demand

Week ahead: Markets brace for heightened volatility as event risk dominates

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.
