The CHF has moved almost parabolically against the JPY and is almost touching 150, which would mark a 40 year first. With the Bank of Japan indicating its need to maintain current interest rate levels which are already among the lowest in the western world, the currency has been severely weakened. Statement that has come from some of its members indicate that there is no intention to adjust their Dovish policy even while the JPY continued to be smashed from pillar to post.
The CHF on the other hand been one of the stronger currencies outside of the USD as the countries, especially in recent months. With relatively low inflation and high volatility in the region the CHF has stood up well against most other currencies and been a source of stability. Therefore, the pair represents a trading opportunity by taking advantage of extremes of both a strong and weak currency.
The chart shows the pair has moved almost parabolically on the weekly timeframe. The price is currently at multi decade highs, with the 149.75 price the highest it has been since 1980. Whilst the 150 level is not a specific resistance point, it poses as a psychological level that may prove difficult to break out of.
On the daily chart, the recent break above 140 required 3 months of consolidation before it broke above the level. Since then, the breakout has largely been without any retracement or pullback. Therefore, it would not be unexpected for the price to pullback, especially as it gets closer to the 150 level.
The RSI is also supporting a pullback as it is in highly overbought territory at 80. If it does retrace then it may bounce off the recent support level at 142/143, and then rise target of 158 may become possible. If the Bank of Japan does decide to change its tune in regard to its dovish policy, then this trade does have the potential to go the other way with the JPY increasing in value very quickly, although at this stage there is nothing to indicate that this will occur.

全球顶级大厂对最前沿先进制程晶圆以及高端先进封装的贪婪蚕食速度,已经远远把底层供应链的常态扩产周期甩在了身后。这种持仓超载带来的**内生脆性风险**,正在强行迫使顶级 AI 巨头未雨绸缪地去寻找替代制造水源 —— 这绝非他们要脱离或抛弃台积电,而是因为在风控准则上,大厂绝不能将万亿美元的算力帝国单边绑死在单一地理节点的供应链上。
一颗顶级 AI 算力大芯片的诞生,绝不仅仅是将光刻机在晶圆上蚀刻出电路那么简单。工程师必须在微观层面上,将算力核心的核心中央处理器、海量的高带宽显存(HBM)以及其他异构组件,以极度变态的物理密度进行拼装互联,使其在财务能效比上能像一个闭环整体那样爆发出超级算力。这一道决定生死的终极组装工艺,在行业内被统称为高级先进封装。
看涨英特尔(Intel) Foundry 战略的长线逻辑极具说服力:**全球 AI 基础设施建设资本支出依旧高亢暴动**,台积电的物理承载力逼近绝对瓶颈,跨国巨头急切需要一个在技术、地缘和产权安全上完全靠得住的第二制造温床。如果英特尔能够成功将目前传出的多项大厂试单测试意向真正沉淀为流水线上的量产出货,华尔街将乐此不疲地对其转型前景执行暴利重新计价。
更底层的风险在于**全球 AI 硬件资本支出的大周期拐点**。倘若在 5 月 27 日核心宏观数据和美债收益率冲高的双重压制下,谷歌、微软、亚马逊或 Meta 等超大规模云厂商在下半年对数据中心等重资产砸钱的步伐出现边际失速,那么整场芯片战争所赖以生存的总蛋糕都将面临残酷的系统性估值倍数(Valuation Multiple)大清洗,届时全行业泥沙俱下,任何个股的微观进展都绝无可能在大雪崩中逆势独活。
作为坐在交易面板前的你,未来决定多空头寸生死存亡的终极监测变量包括:顶级大厂生产性订单的最终法律合同落地、18A 制程的量产良率拐点、英特尔代工单元经营性亏损的边际改善情况、台积电先进封装的扩产速度,以及全球超大规模云厂商的 AI 资本开支大盘有无发生见顶刹车。
