USD/CHF edges higher as escalating tensions in the Middle East support the US Dollar (USD), with buyers eyeing a breakout above the 0.8150 resistance level that has capped gains since July 2025. At the time of writing, the pair trades around 0.8123, up 0.27% on the day.

From a technical perspective, USD/CHF has largely traded sideways after breaking above 0.8000 in June. A successful retest of that level drew buyers back into the market. Holding above 0.8000 keeps the near-term bias tilted to the upside, although buyers may need a fresh catalyst to clear 0.8150.

On the daily chart, the pair trades above the Bollinger Bands 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8084 and is approaching the upper band at 0.8140.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 59 points to positive momentum without signalling overbought conditions. However, the Average Directional Index (ADX) has eased to around 26 from above 30, suggesting the recent advance is losing some strength.

Immediate resistance lies at the upper Bollinger Band near 0.8140, closely followed by the multi-month barrier at 0.8150. On the downside, initial support sits at the Bollinger midline at 0.8084, followed by the lower band at 0.8029. Below that, the 0.8000 and 0.7900 horizontal levels could attract buying interest.

AUD/USD remains under presure above 0.7000; focus on data

AUD/USD has met some renewed selling pressure on Thursday, coming down from tops near 0.7040 to revisit the 0.7000 region ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair’s daily decline has come despite a lacklustre performance in the Greenback at the time when investors continued to monitor developments from the Middle East. Looking ahead, the release of flash PMIs will grab the attention in Oz at the end of the week.

USD/JPY declines to a one-week low; eyes trading range support near 157.50 on weaker USD

USD/JPY drops to a one-week low during Thursday’s Asian session, with bears now awaiting a break below multi-week range support near mid-157.00s before placing fresh bets amid a broadly weaker US Dollar. Despite bets for a December Fed rate hike and Middle East jitters, the recent decline in US bond yields keeps USD depressed near a three-week low. Moreover, hawkish BoJ expectations and intervention risks underpin the Japanese Yen, further weighing on the currency pair.

Gold remains offered just above $4,000

Gold prices resume their decline on Thursday, easing toward the area of two-month lows around $4,050 per troy ounce. Higher crude oil prices have reignited speculation of further tightening by the Fed, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the precious metal.

The estimates keep falling: Why Bitcoin's quantum countdown is accelerating

The threat that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing pose to Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies in general is no longer a matter of if hardware will catch up; it is a matter of when. Advances in AI-assisted research are adding a new dimension to the quantum computing threat, although neither technology can currently break Bitcoin’s cryptography on its own.

The Bank of England just got its clearest reason to hike. Here's what it's really watching

UK inflation as measured by the CPI accelerated to 3.5% YoY in September, up from 3.1% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics. This is the highest level since October 2025, exceeding economists' expectations of 3.4% and pushing inflation further from the BoE's 2% target.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
