The USD/CHF climbs above 0.9300, extending its gains after cracking the previous weekly high and reaching a new one at 0.9348 on Thursday. At the time of typing, the USD/CHF exchanges hand at 0.9342.

The USD/CHF pair is neutral to downward biased, indicated by the long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 100 and 200-day EMAs, resting above the exchange rate at 0.9384 and 0.9455, respectively. Furthermore, the USD/CHF trades beneath the January 6 daily high of 0.9409, keeping the bearish bias intact. If this rate is surpassed, the USD/CHF can reach the 200-day EMA level.

Even though the USD/CHF bias is tilted to the downside, the pair appears to have bottomed around 0.9059. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Rate of Change (RoC) are bullish, suggesting buyers are moving in.

Therefore, the USD/CHF path of least resistance is upward in the near term. The first resistance would be the January 12 high at 0.9360. A decisive break and the following resistance tested would be the 100-day EMA at 0.9384, ahead of the 0.9400 figure. Once those two resistance areas are broken, buyers will aim toward the 200-day EMA at 0.9454 before posing a threat of the 0.9500 figure.

Contrarily, if the USD/CHF drops below the 50-day EMA at 0.9283, that would exacerbate a fall toward the February 14 daily low at 0.9135.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.
