USD/CHF Price Forecast: Bulls eye 0.8200 as rally extends

  • USD/CHF rises for sixth straight session, testing 0.8200 resistance.
  • SNB rate expectations keep Swiss Franc fundamentally pressured.
  • Break above 0.8215 exposes 0.8250 and 0.8300 next.

The USD/CHF extends its advance for the sixth straight trading session, up 0.11%, as the Greenback holds firm against a basket of six currencies, the US Dollar Index (DXY). At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.8190, with buyers targeting 0.8200.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The Swiss Franc is set to continue to weaken, both technically and fundamentally. Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) is expected to keep rates near zero until the end of 2027.

Given the backdrop, the USD/CHF path of least resistance is upwards, and it will face key resistance levels at 0.8200, followed by the June 19, 2025, peak at 0.8215. A breach of the latter will expose the June 4, 2025, peak at 0.8250, followed by the 0.8300 milestone.

Conversely, if sellers push USD/CHF below 0.8150, it could exacerbate a move lower. The first-floor level would be 0.8100. A decisive break exposes the July 15 cycle low of 0.8034, ahead of the 50/day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8012.

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin holds steady on positive ETF flows despite short-term holders cashing in

Bitcoin's exchange-traded funds (ETF) demand regime has notably shifted, with 30-day net inflows reaching $21.9 billion, according to a Thursday post by CryptoQuant. The data suggests that the average Bitcoin held through spot ETFs is now in profit, with the realized price of the ETF cohort standing at roughly $72,000 to $73,000.

ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks
The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.
Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
