USD/CHF Price Analysis: Wednesday’s hanging man, monthly resistance line highlight 0.9100 for bears

USD/CHF directs the previous day’s failure to cross 0.9150 towards 0.9100 round-figure.
50-day SMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement offer immediate supports amid bearish MACD.
Bulls can target 0.9200 after the trendline break.

USD/CHF drops to 0.9131, down 0.05%, while heading into the European session on Thursday. In doing so, the pair respects the previous day’s pullback from a falling trend line stretched from September 28. Additionally, bearish MACD and Wednesday’s hanging man candlestick offer extra support to the pair sellers.

As a result, the immediate support of 50-day SMA, near 0.9130, followed by 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of September month’s upside, near 0.9110, may fail to stop the USD/CHF bears before offering them the 0.9100 thresholds.

Though, the monthly low of 0.9087 and the September 10 bottom around 0.9050 can surely challenge the quote’s further selling towards the prior month’s low of 0.8998.

On the upside, a clear break of the mentioned trend line, at 0.9140 now, will trigger a fresh run-up towards the previous week’s peak near 0.9200 However, the monthly high near 0.9220 and 0.9245 can probe USD/CHF upside then after.

During the quote’s sustained rise past-0.9245, September 25 peak close to 0.9300 will lure the buyers.

USD/JPY eyes August swing low, near 155.20 ahead of US NFP

USD/JPY retests the August monthly swing low during the Asian session on Friday as a more hawkish repricing of BoJ rate-hike bets and a suspected intervention continue to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar is seen consolidating the previous day's heavy losses amid soft US bond yields, further weighing on the currency pair as traders keenly await the US NFP report.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

The Japanese Yen (JPY) experienced a sudden burst higher after falling back below the 160.00 psychological mark against the US Dollar (USD) earlier this week amid a more hawkish repricing of Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate hike expectations.

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

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. 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.
