USD/CHF Price Analysis: Soars, extends its rally to 10 days, as bull's eye 0.9100

  • USD/CHF is on a bullish trajectory, ending the week with over 1% gains,
  • Pair is eyeing the 0.9100 mark, with a breach potentially exposing the May 31 cycle high at 0.9147, following a rally to the March 16 daily high at 0.9340.
  • Key support levels for sellers include the 200-DMA and the 0.9000 mark; breaching these could lead to a test of the September 20 daily low at 0.8931.

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 stays defensive below 0.7150 after Chinese data

AUD/USD remains on the back foot below 0.7150 in the Asian session on Tuesday, close to an over three-week low touched the previous day. US bond yields hold near multi-year highs ahead of the FOMC meeting and oil-driven inflation risks, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the currency pair. Mixed Chinese activity data for August also fail to inspire the Aussie.

USD/JPY extends gains toward 155.00 amid USD resurgence

USD/JPY keeps pushing higher toward 155.00 early Tuesday, looking for more upside, as traders await the FOMC and BoJ meetings this week. Meanwhile, Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields near multi-year highs, supporting the US Dollar and the pair. That said, a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ normalization path might continue to underpin the Japanese Yen and could limit USD/JPY's upside. .

Gold at the mercy of bears; focus is on $4,250

Gold adds to Monday’s pessimism, struggling to extend the daily move above the $4,300 region per troy ounce and trading with modest losses on Tuesday. The precious metal’s extra weakness follows another positive day in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and steady pre-Fed caution.

Ripple, Cardano, Hyperliquid – Easing bullish momentum sparks downside risks

Top altcoins, including Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Hyperliquid (HYPE), are trading in the red on Tuesday, with roughly 2% losses so far. The altcoins are facing downside pressure ahead of the CLARITY Act cloture vote scheduled for Tuesday.

Markets slide as FOMC approaches
The US Dollar remains strong as markets turn increasingly cautious ahead of the FOMC. Stocks are tumbling, while Gold and Silver are moving lower under pressure from the stronger Dollar. The Japanese Yen is weaker again, while Crypto is correcting. BTC is approaching a key technical test and could fall below its 50-week moving average, while ETH remains above $2,405.
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.
