USD/CHF climbs above the 0.9000 figure, eyeing a 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) test at 0.9025 after printing a bullish hammer in the daily chart. The USD/CHF is trading at 0.9015, after hitting a daily low of 0.8975, trades above its opening price by 0.42%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF pair is neutral to downward biased unless it claims the 50-day EMA at 0.9025, which would turn the bias to neutral upwards. It should be said the USD/CHF printed a new daily high, above the May 2 high of 0.8995, opening the door for further upside. If USD/CHF cracks the 50-day EMA, the pair will test last week's high of 0.9063 before rallying toward the 0.9100 mark. That would further cement a bullish bias, with the USD/CHF about to challenge the 100-day EMA at 0.9137, on its way to the April 3 daily high of 0.9196.

Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator turned bullish and just bounced off the 50-midline, a sign of USD/CHF bulls gathering momentum; while the 3-day Rate of Change (RoC) remains neutrally biased.

Therefore, the USD/CHF trend would likely continue upward. On the downside, the USD/CHF's first support would be the 0.9000 figure, which, once cleared, the pair would dip to the 20-day EMA At 0.8968.

GBP/USD revisits 1.3530; Dollar pushes harder

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

Week ahead: RBNZ and BoC decide on rates ahead of all-important US NFP

US Dollar Weekly Forecast: Focus is back on 100.00 as Fed hawks take centre stage

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
