USD/CHF Price Forecast: Bulls reclaim 0.8100 after SMA bounce

  • USD/CHF snaps a two-day slide after defending 50-day SMA support.
  • RSI crosses above neutral, confirming buyers regain near-term control.
  • A break above 0.8150 exposes 0.8200 and the yearly high.

The USD/CHF pair snaps two days of losses and rises by over 0.60% on Thursday after solid US jobs data. Also, buyers stepped in at key support at the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 0.8052, pushing the pair back above the 0.8100 threshold.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

USD/CHF uptrend remains intact, with the market structure of higher highs and higher lows continuing to be respected. Also, momentum, as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), shows that buyers are in control, as the index crosses above its 50-neutral level.

Given the backdrop, the pair faces key resistance at 0.8150. Once breached, a move towards 0.8200 is on the cards. Above lies the yearly high of 0.8207, which, once cleared, would extend the USD/CHF rally towards the June 4, 2025, cycle high at 0.8250. Up next is 0.8300.

On the downside, the first support for USD/CHF would be at 0.8100. If spot prices fall below the 50-day SMA at 0.8052, the next floor level emerges at 0.8000.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The 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. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
