USD/CHF Price Forecast: US Dollar clears 50-day SMA as bulls target 0.7900

  • USD/CHF clears the 50-day SMA, strengthening short-term bullish bias.
  • RSI remains bullish, signaling buyers retain upside momentum control.
  • Break above 0.7900 exposes 0.7958 and 0.8000 resistance.

The USD/CHF pair edges modestly higher on Tuesday, gaining 0.21% as buyers test the current week’s high of 0.7884 after bouncing off daily lows of 0.7844.

Risk appetite is positive due to the AI hype. In the meantime, the Greenback stages a recovery amid uncertainty over the outcome of US-Iran talks.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

From a technical standpoint, further upside is seen as the pair cleared the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7864. Worth noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, which could open the door for further gains.

If USD/CHF surpasses the 0.7900 area, a test of the 200-day SMA at 0.7904 is on the cards. Above the latter, the path clears to challenge the March 19 high at 0.7958, ahead of the 0.80 figure.

Conversely, a retracement below the 50-day SMA, and sellers could re-enter the market, pushing the pair towards the 20-day SMA at 0.7834, ahead of the 100-day SMA at 0.7828. The next area of interest would be the 0.7800 mark

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading 

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone.

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.
