USD/CHF Price Forecast: Stalls below 0.8000 with bulls still in control

  • USD/CHF stalls below 0.8000, but remains steady at two-month highs.
  • Mild hopes of a peace agreement in the Middle East are weighing on the safe-haven USD.
  • The technical picture remains positive with 0.8000 on the bulls' focus.

The US Dollar (USD) posts marginal losses against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Tuesday, with bulls capped near the 0.8000 psychological level. Downside attempts, however, remain contained above 0.7965, so far keeping the pair steady at two-month highs for now.

Investors sighed with relief, as Iran and Israel halted their hostilities, giving a chance to an elusive peace agreement in the region. This has triggered a moderate risk appetite and is weighing on the safe-haven US Dollar. The high US yields, however, are keeping the Greenback’s downside attempts limited.

The strong US Nonfarm Payrolls figures released last week boosted expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will hike interest rates later this year. These figures sent US yields surging, and the US Dollar rallying across the board. Investors are now waiting for the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, due on Wednesday, to confirm those views.

Technical Analysis: In a bullish trend, likely heading for levels past 0.8000

Chart Analysis USD/CHF

USD/CHF trades at 0.7970, maintaining a constructive bullish tone as it holds above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and the descending trendline resistance from late-March highs. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is close, but not yet at overbought levels, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram keeps rising, highlighting a firm upside momentum.

Immediate resistance emerges at the psychological 0.8000 handle ahead of the March 31 high, at the 0.8040 area. Further up, the area between 0.8085 and 0.8100 (late November and early December 2025 highs) emerges as the next bullish target.

Downside attempts, on the other hand, are likely to find support at the previous highs area near 0.7930, and the mentioned 200-day SMA, now around 0.7910. Below here, the confluence between the broken trendline with June 4 and 5 lows, near 0,7870 is likely to provide significant support.

AUD/USD extends the range play above 0.7200 as traders await US inflation data

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price move above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Thursday amid mixed cues. Rising RBA rate-hike bets keep the Aussie close to its highest level since May 14. However, hawkish Fed expectations and escalating US-Iran tensions offer some support to the US Dollar, capping the currency pair as traders await US inflation figures.


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 stuck between two key averages ahead of the US inflation test
Gold is building on the previous recovery from one-week lows near $4,350 early Thursday, stretching beyond $4,400. Gold buyers now look forward to the US Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) data due Thursday and Friday, respectively, for a sustained turnaround. Gold is finding continued support from the United States (US) Treasury Department’s measure to rescue the bond market.
Oil surge drives Equity rout
The traditional September selling in equities really seems to be taking hold thanks to higher oil prices, says Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at online trading and investing platform IG. The second oil surge in a year has really begun to drag stock markets lower, as it combines with pre-CPI anxiety among investors who already regard next week’s Fed meeting with plenty of trepidation.
Jobs opened the door for the Fed — inflation decides whether it walks through

The latest US jobs report did not end the debate over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. It may have done something more subtle: it gave policymakers permission to keep their options open. After months of softer labour market signals, August delivered a stronger-than-expected rebound.

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.
