USD/CHF Price Forecast: Hits 11-month high above 0.8100

  • USD/CHF refreshes YTD highs as rally extends six days.
  • RSI enters overbought territory, signaling powerful bullish momentum persists.
  • Break above 0.8200 exposes 0.8215 and 0.8300 resistance.

The USD/CHF extends its rally for the third straight day this week and refreshes year-to-date (YTD) highs, peaking at 0.8139, which is also an 11-month high. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.8124, up 0.34%.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF has been rallying for six days, and if it closes Wednesday’s session above 0.8100, bulls could reach the 0.8200 level rather sooner than later.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows the pair is overbought, but it is short of the 80 level, considered the most extreme. When RSI is between 70 and 80, the uptrend is at its strongest; hence, readings above 80 are most precise for indicating market tops.

If USD/CHF clears 0.8200, the next resistance would be the June 19, 2025, daily high at 0.8215, ahead of 0.8250. A breach of the latter will expose 0.8300. On the other hand, if bears drive the pair below 0.8100, the next support would be the March 31 swing high of 0.8042. Below this level is 0.8000.

AUD/USD hits eight-month lows below 0.6850 amid bullish USD

AUD/USD stays defensive below 0.6850, hitting an eight-month low in the Asian session on Thursday as the possibility of a steeper Fed rate hike in December helps the US Dollar hold near its highest level since April 2025. Geopolitical uncertainty also supports the safe-haven buck, while the RBA’s cautious, on-hold stance limits the Aussie.

USD/JPY eases from near 160.00 amid looming intervention risks, BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY retreats slightly from an over two-month high as the recent surge back to the 160.00 psychological mark prompted verbal warnings from Japanese authorities and sparked fears of direct FX intervention. Moreover, data showed that Japan’s wholesale inflation picked up again in October, strengthening the case for a BoJ hike in December and lifting the Japanese Yen. However, a bullish US Dollar, bolstered by odds of a jumbo Fed rate hike in December, could cap the pair's downside.

Why the US Dollar's rally isn't as strong as it looks
The US Dollar Index (DXY) is back at an 18-month high, but most of its climb since August is the Euro (EUR) falling. Against a wider group of trading partners, the Dollar has gained half as much, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) has raised rates once this year. The US Dollar Index, which measures the Dollar against six other currencies, is trading near 103.
UK GDP is set to show that the economy continued growing in Q3

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
