USD/CHF Price Analysis: Rising wedge hints a possible reversal from 2-month tops

USD/CHF struggled to capitalize on the intraday uptick to fresh two-month tops.
Mixed technical set-up warrants caution before placing any fresh directional bets.

The USD/CHF pair edged higher through the mid-European session on Wednesday and touched a fresh two-month high level of 0.9844, albeit lacked any strong follow-through.

The intraday uptick once again faced rejection near a resistance marked by a near two-week-old ascending trend-line, which should act as a key pivotal point for short-term traders.

The mentioned trend-line, along with another ascending trend-line seemed to constitute towards the formation of a bearish rising wedge pattern, indicating a possible reversal.

Meanwhile, technical indicators on hourly/daily charts maintained their bullish bias and are still far from being in the overbought territory and support prospects for additional gains.

However, it will be prudent to wait for a sustained strength beyond the mentioned trend-line resistance, around the 0.9845-50 region, before placing any fresh bullish bets.

On the flip side, a convincing break below the 0.9820 region will reaffirm the bearish set-up and confirm a bearish breakdown, prompting some aggressive technical selling.

The pair then might accelerate the fall further towards the 0.9785 horizontal support before eventually dropping to its next major support near the 0.9760 region.

GBP/USD remains offered; bears target 1.3600

GBP/USD now leaves behind part of its recent recovery and revisits the low 1.3600s at the beginning of the week. Indeed, Cable trades with a mild downward bias amid decent gains in the Greenback as investors remain wary of upcoming US data releases and the Jackson Hole event.

EUR/USD remains sidelined above 1.1650

EUR/USD trades on the defensive following the closing bell on Wall Street on Monday, hovering around the 1.1660 region and adding to Friday’s small decline. The pair’s pullback comes in response to an acceptable rebound in the US Dollar in a context of generalised caution ahead of key US data releases and Chair Warsh’s speech in Jackson Hole.

Gold poised to extend its bullish run

Gold surrenders part of its initial advance, although it keeps its bullish pace well and sound above the $4,600 mark per troy ounce on Monday. The precious metal’s move higher comes despite slight gains in the US Dollar and a modest pullback in US Treasury yields across the curve.

XRP surged 72%, but is the rally really about XRP?

Ripple (XRP) surged more than 72% in less than a week, its strongest rally since July 2025, as cryptocurrency prices broadly broke out. But the move has a problem: it may have little to do with XRP itself. The token's near-term rally appears to have been driven largely by a broader liquidity shift after the US Treasury expanded long-end bond buybacks, pulling yields lower and lifting risk assets.

Convulsion in credit markets

The United States government just posted a $432.3 billion deficit for July, the largest monthly shortfall since March of 2021. That single burst of red ink pushed the yeartodate deficit to $1.8 trillion, with two months still remaining in fiscal 2026. At this pace, Washington will soon wax nostalgic for the “good old days” when annual deficits were only $2 trillion.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
