USD/CHF climbs above the 0.9000 figure, eyeing a 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) test at 0.9025 after printing a bullish hammer in the daily chart. The USD/CHF is trading at 0.9015, after hitting a daily low of 0.8975, trades above its opening price by 0.42%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The USD/CHF pair is neutral to downward biased unless it claims the 50-day EMA at 0.9025, which would turn the bias to neutral upwards. It should be said the USD/CHF printed a new daily high, above the May 2 high of 0.8995, opening the door for further upside. If USD/CHF cracks the 50-day EMA, the pair will test last week's high of 0.9063 before rallying toward the 0.9100 mark. That would further cement a bullish bias, with the USD/CHF about to challenge the 100-day EMA at 0.9137, on its way to the April 3 daily high of 0.9196.

Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator turned bullish and just bounced off the 50-midline, a sign of USD/CHF bulls gathering momentum; while the 3-day Rate of Change (RoC) remains neutrally biased.

Therefore, the USD/CHF trend would likely continue upward. On the downside, the USD/CHF's first support would be the 0.9000 figure, which, once cleared, the pair would dip to the 20-day EMA At 0.8968.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD weakens to near 1.3300 as geopolitical risks bolster US Dollar

The GBP/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.3310 during the early European session on Wednesday. Escalating conflict in the Middle East triggers a "flight to safety," supporting the US Dollar against the Pound Sterling. Traders will take more cues from the US ADP Employment and ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index reports, which are due later on Wednesday.

Gold sticks to intraday gains above $5,150; upside seems limited amid bullish USD

Gold preserves its modest intraday gains through the Asian session on Wednesday and currently trades just above the $5,150 level, up around 1.30% for the day. Investors remain concerned about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East and its impact on the global economy amid an already uncertain environment.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple struggle for direction as consolidation persists

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple prices trade with a cautious tone at the time of writing on Wednesday as upside momentum continues to fade across the broader crypto market. BTC remains within a parallel channel, ETH struggles below key resistance, while XRP remains fragile within a descending channel. These top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization continue to struggle to establish a directional bias amid the consolidation phase.

When rates start driving the bus through a war zone

The volatility regime itself is also changing character. EM carry trades thrive in calm markets. They suffocate in environments that resemble Buckaroo Banzai trading conditions, where headlines move faster than models. That is exactly the world investors are now trying to recalibrate to. Euro rate volatility had been remarkably subdued even while equities were wobbling. That stability is now being questioned, and once volatility leaks into rates it rarely stays contained. Indeed, carry trades love calm seas. War turns the ocean into white water.

Ripple falters amid sell-off jitters and negative funding rates

Ripple (XRP) has come under pressure, drifting lower to $1.35 at the time of writing on Tuesday. The over 2% correction looks poised to erase the previous day’s gains, which lifted the remittance token to $1.42.
