USD/CHF retreats by over 0.34% on Monday amid most G8 FX currencies appreciating against the US Dollar, as the Middle East conflict eases following the US and Iran agreeing to a peace deal. The pair trades at 0.7943, after reaching a high of 0.7968.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
From a technical perspective, the ‘inverted head-and-shoulders’ structure remains intact, as the USD/CHF pair approached the 200-day SMA at 0.7906, but buyers lifted the exchange rate towards 0.7950. Despite this, bulls are not out of the woods, as momentum edges lower, even though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) favors further upside for USD/CHF, with the index above its 50 neutral level.
The first resistance level for USD/CHF is 0.8000. A breach of the latter will expose the April 6 high at 0.8018, ahead of the March 31 daily high at 0.8042, which is also the inverted ‘head-and-shoulders’ objective. Once those levels are taken out, the 0.8100 is up next.
On the flip side, the USD/CHF first support would be the 200-day SMA at 0.7906. Below is the 0.7900 figure, followed by the 50- and 100-day SMAs, each at 0.7864 and 0.7835.
