EUR/USD Technical: Poised for a minor bullish breakout in euro strength
The euro staged a sharp rebound against the US dollar on 1 August, gaining 1.5% after weaker-than-expected US jobs data halted a week-long decline. Since 4 August, EUR/USD has traded in a narrow range, as markets digest rising stagflation risks and await President Trump’s Fed nomination. Technical indicators suggest a potential bullish breakout, with support at 1.1520 and resistance at 1.1600 and 1.1680/1705.

USD/CHF Technical: Swiss franc’s medium-term bearish trend in progress
The Swiss franc continues to weaken, hitting a fresh low against the US dollar as US tariffs on Swiss goods jump to 39%. This sharp escalation threatens Switzerland’s export-driven economy and may push the SNB to adopt a more dovish stance. With USD/CHF breaking out of its downtrend and momentum indicators staying strong, technical signals point to further upside potential in the near term. Traders now eye 0.8215/8250 and 0.8350/8380 as next resistance zones.
