USD/CHF reversed its course after hitting a weekly high of 0.9003 and fell, as the sellers remain committed to defending the 0.9000 figure. After consolidating for back-to-back days in the 0.8950-0.9000 range, the USD/CHF exchanges hands at 0.8933, down 0.45%.

USD/CHF Price Action

The USD/CHF posted two positive days and remained in the front foot during the week before turning negative. Sellers are gathering momentum, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is stills in bearish territory. In addition, the Rate of Change (RoC) also turned bearish, suggesting that the USD/CHF pair could resume its downward bias.

If USD/CHF continues lower, the next support would be the April 14 daily low at 0.8866. Once broken, up next would be the YTD low at 0.8859, followed by the 0.8800 figure.

On the other hand, the USD/CHF first resistance would be the confluence of a one-month-old downslope trendline around 0.8990, followed by the 0.9000 figure. A breach of the latter, the USD/CHF can rally towards the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9044 before aiming towards April 10 daily high at 0.9120.

AUD/USD sticks to neutral bias above 0.7100 amid cautious markets

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Monday as the US Dollar stalls its modest pullback from the highest level since late July amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties. The PBOC status quo on Loan Prime Rates also weighs on the Aussie. However, bets on another RBA rate hike continue to underpin the Australian Dollar ahead of the Trump-Xi Summit.

USD/JPY eases below 157.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY is easing back below 157.00 in Asia on Monday, undermined by modest Japanese Yen strength amid looming intervention risks after Friday's BoJ rate check. A Japanese holiday also keeps traders on edge amid escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. As a result, the US Dollar pauses its pullback, limiting the pair's downside.

Gold starts week on the back foot as US Dollar holds firm, Oil decline limits losses

Bitcoin hits $85,000 for the first time in eight months

Bitcoin price reclaims $85,000 on Monday, advancing last week’s 5% recovery toward an eight-month high. The recovery in King Crypto aligns with renewed institutional demand, with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording $433 million in inflows on Friday.

The week ahead: Fuel prices in focus as we lead up to key eco releases

Financial markets are in a strange position as we move to the final weeks of Q3, uncertainty and volatility continue to grip markets, but the oil price is falling; and European and US stocks are poised to open higher later on Monday. Market stresses are concentrated in sovereign bonds, and European and US yields had another scare late on Friday, and moved higher.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
