At press time, as the New York session ends, the USD/CHF pair slides to a new seven-week low, trading at 0.9146. On Wednesday, Swiss franc bulls decisively breached the 200-day moving average (DMA), at 0.9176, the previous support-now-turned dynamic resistance level.

USD/CHF downward move was capped by an upslope trendline

Despite the aforementioned, the USD/CHF freefall was limited by an upslope trendline in the 0.9140-50 area. Why? Because after reaching a daily low beneath the abovementioned at 0.9127, the pair jumped aggressively towards current levels, emphasizing the strength of the trendline.

Nevertheless, once all the daily moving averages (DMAs) reside above the spot price, the bias is downwards, but it would face crucial demand areas on the way down.

USD/CHF’s first support level would be the upslope trendline around 0.9140. A break of that level would expose medium support at the November 9 daily low at 0.9108, followed by strong support at the November 2 swing low at 0.9085.

On the flip side, USD/CHF’s failure to break under the upslope trendline could open the door for USD bulls to reclaim the 200-DMA. The first resistance would be the 200-DMA at 0.9176. A break above that level would expose the 50-DMA at 0.9208 and then the 100-DMA at 0.9213.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

AUD/USD has come under fresh selling pressure and is testing 0.7100 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside. Furthermore, a bullish US Dollar acts as a headwind for the pair as traders keenly await the crucial Trump-Xi summit on Thursday. Meanwhile, markets shrug off US-Iran indirect talks.

USD/JPY stands firm near mid-157.00s, close to two-week high

USD/JPY hovers around mid-157.00s in the Asian session on Wednesday, near two-week highs touched last Friday as the BoJ's dovish rate hike continues to undermine the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

Gold sticks to losses below $4,350 as USD buying remains unabated amid hawkish Fed

Gold struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from sub-$4,300 levels and meets with fresh supply during the Asian session. The US Dollar extends its recent uptrend, hitting a fresh high since July 30 amid the Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor undermining the non-yielding bullion.

Cardano Bulls push higher as open interest, funding rates rise

Cardano (ADA) extends gains, trading above $0.262 after rallying more than 14% so far this week. The bullish momentum is supported by rising Open Interest (OI), positive funding rates and signs of whale accumulation. If buying pressure persists, ADA could extend its rally and target higher levels. Cardano’s derivatives metrics show strengthening conditions.

Trump meets Xi: Why markets are watching this summit so closely

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Washington on Thursday for a summit closely watched by markets. After several months of easing trade tensions between the US and China, the meeting could determine whether the world's two largest economies extend their truce or enter a new period of uncertainty.

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.
