USD/CHF is set to end the week with decent gains of more than 1%, while breaking above the 200-day moving average (DMA), which could open the door for further upside, with buyers eyeing a new cycle high. Therefore, the pair is trading at 0.9071, edges up 0.30% late in the New York session.

The daily chart portrays the pair extending its gain past the 0.9032 (200-DMA), and puts a challenge of the 0.9100 figure into play. A breach of the latter will expose the May 31 cycle high at 0.9147, which, if cleared, the USD/CHF could rally back to the March 16 daily high at 0.9340.

Conversely, sellers would face the 200-DMA and the 0.9000 mark. Those two levels hurdled, and the USD/CHF would dive and test the September 20 daily low of 0.8931 before testing the 0.8900 figure.

AUD/USD hangs near three-week low, below 0.6950 as traders await US NFP report

AUD/USD hits a three-week low during the Asian session on Friday as the RBA’s dovish shift and a rout in equity markets weigh on the risk-sensitive Aussie.

Gold loses the grip; $4,000 comes next on the downside
