Dollar Decline Against All Major CurrenciesThe Dollar’s decline didn’t start with the recent ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs. In fact, it has been gradually weakening since the 1970s.
More recently, however, the Dollar has lost value against many currencies since January. Why is that?
Why have the USD/CHF and USD/SGD strengthened against the US Dollar over the past few decades? One reason is that both countries have managed their money supply with discipline. For example, as of end-2024, Switzerland’s net federal debt stood at 141 billion Swiss franc, their debt to GDP ratio at 17.2%.
In contrast, the United States has expanded its national debt at an alarming rate. Some might point out that Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio is even higher—around 230%. That is why the Japanese Yen has also been in decline for decades.
Why does printing more money through QE and increasing the money supply weaken a currency?
Just imagine in a close economy with 10 people and 1 central bank. If the central bank printed $100 and distributed equally to the 10, each of them will receive $10 to buy 10 available cheesecakes.
But now the central bank decided to print $1,000 and each person will have $100 to buy 10 available cheesecakes.
The global economy is not a close, but an open system.
When the US and other major economies printed massive amounts of money, they didn’t just inflate their own economies—they exported inflation worldwide. This contributes to rising cost of living not all around the world.
In my view, Gold is also a currency pair against the US at the start of 1971. The moment dollar unpeg itself from gold, gold appreciates. With each QE, we can see how the currencies have diluted with gold and inflation appreciating over these years.
Why different currencies have started to appreciate against the USD since January this year?
We can see all the currencies have either reached its bottomed in January and started moving higher or it formed a reversal pattern like the Aussie dollar and the Dollar Yuan, in this case with this inverted hammer, it is indicating Dollar Yuan to reverse downward, meaning dollar coming off and yuan to appreciate.
January was President Trump inauguration and February was when he rolled out tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and the market do not like that and has been selling the USD against the rest of the currencies?
If US has printed the so much money, but why other than Swiss franc and Singapore Dollar, many other currencies have been depreciating against dollars over the past decades?
I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

Swiss Franc Futures ShortAfter the recent market volatility caused by tariffs, the Swiss Franc skyrocketed and forced retail shorts to cover. Now those same retail traders have opened long positions at a similar rate. If the market begins to reverse these late retail longs will be forced to close. Therefore, a short position in the Swiss Franc is currently an asymmetric trading opportunity.
CHF Supply Demand Trade SetupSee picture for analysis.
-DXY had long-term weak fundamentals + Technicals which will be bullish for CHF and other currencies.
-Price broke downward trend line
-Price removed opposing pivto supply zones structure
-Demand created
Options:
1) possible buy back into 1hr demand
2) Wait for price to reutn the wait for lower-timeframe confirmation buy setups.
Support for CADCHF A **quiet day for our CADCHF**—no major moves so far.
I only notice a **slightly weaker tone on CHF**, or more precisely, those **three wicks on the future** suggest a **price rejection**.
Also, at the moment, the **volume delta is in favor of CAD**.
If no other data changes the picture, I’d expect **confirmed support around 0.586** for CADCHF, with a potential **break above the H1 EMA50** later this afternoon.
Swiss Franc LongRetail traders are currently in a crowded short position with price beginning to reverse. We aim to capture the losses of retail traders in a short squeeze. Additionally, a Swiss Franc long position could work in both a risk-on and risk-off environment given its long standing reputation as a safe haven currency.
Swiss Franc Futures Decline Amid Weaker US Dollar:Market InsightThe CHF Swiss Franc futures pair experienced a decline to approximately 1.308 during the early European trading session on Monday. This weakening can be primarily attributed to the broad softness of the US Dollar (USD), which has been under pressure lately. After an initial reversal at the pivotal level of 108.000, the US Dollar Index (DXY) managed to recover some ground, indicating a volatile session ahead for currency traders.
Today's market attention is squarely focused on a series of significant economic events that could influence currency valuations. Notably, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is scheduled to deliver a speech that many analysts anticipate will provide insights into the central bank's future policy direction. Given the current economic climate in Europe, her comments are likely to be closely scrutinized by market participants looking for hints on interest rate adjustments and other monetary policy considerations.
Additionally, the release of the US ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) later today is another critical data point that traders are monitoring. The PMI serves as a vital barometer for the health of the manufacturing sector, and its results can significantly sway market sentiment. A stronger-than-expected PMI reading could lend support to the USD, particularly in light of the Federal Reserve's cautious stance in recent months. A resilient manufacturing sector may fuel speculation about potential interest rate hikes, thus supporting the US dollar.
As the market digests these developments, a bearish sentiment appears to be forming for the CHF futures pair. The combination of a weaker Swiss Franc and the possibility of a stable or strengthening US Dollar suggests that traders may be looking to position themselves for a further decline in the CHF/USD relationship. In the current environment of uncertainty and varied economic signals, currency traders must remain vigilant, ready to adapt to rapid changes that could arise from today's pivotal events.
In summary, the interplay between the Swiss Franc and the US Dollar is accentuated by current macroeconomic factors, including central bank communications and key economic releases. With a bearish setup on the horizon and investors keenly anticipating these market-moving events, today's trading session promises to be both challenging and potentially rewarding for those engaged in forex trading.

Swiss Franc Long IdeaA potential Long opportunity in Swiss Franc. The "Swissie" has tended to make a seasonal bottom in May and is currently bouncing of support (demand) on the weekly chart.
The 4H chart then appears to show a potential accumulation schematic. The breakout above the range aligns with our bullish, seasonal bias as mentioned above. We are monitoring to initiate a long position if price pulls back into the range below 1.106. This would be a test of the schematic. If price trades below the Spring at 1.090, the idea is invalidated.

Swiss Franc Long 4/19/24Last night, the Swiss Franc surged by over 100 basis points in response to an Israeli airstrike on Iran, causing ripples across the market. Despite the widespread apprehension, the Franc stood firm as a trusted safe-haven asset. Now, as risk appetite returns, we witness the market bouncing back. Over the past 24 hours, the Swiss Franc has demonstrated a consistent uptrend during both risk-averse and risk-on conditions. Moreover, it presently holds the distinction of being the most heavily crowded short trade globally. Should prices persist in their ascent, a significant number of short positions may be compelled to unwind, amplifying the Franc's ascent further.
CHF - Futures - Possible tradeCHF - Futures, there is interesting levels of positioning by the commercials are taking place, it has not yet been confirmed from my end, but there is quite bit of long positions are being taken up by larger traders. Will keep an eye out for turning points in the near future in the next few weeks.
