Dollar Extending Rally Against Euro and Swiss Franc, Sentiment Flip-Flops

Market sentiment continue to flip-flop on flowing headlines regarding US debt ceiling negotiations. But then, it should be remembered that it's not done until it's done. So uncertainties and volatility still lie ahead. Yen is the consistent one extending its near term decline. Commodity currencies are rebounding with Sterling. But the more important development is in Dollar's rally extension against Euro and Swiss France.

Technically, USD/CHF's break of 0.8993 resistance today now argues that rebound from 0.8818 might at least correcting whole fall from 1.0146. This is supported by bullish convergence condition in D MACD. Next focus is the resistance zone between 55 D EMA (now at 0.9044) and 0.9058 support turned resistance. Sustained break there will affirm this case and bring further rally to 38.2% retracement of 1.0146 to 0.8818 at 0.9325. Meanwhile, to aid the rally, EUR/CHF better takes out 0.9780 minor resistance too.

In Europe, at the time of writing, FTSE is down -0.05%. DAX is up 0.49%. CAC is up 0.15%. Germany 10-year yield is down -0.0424. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei rose 0.84%. Hong Kong HSI dropped -2.09%.
