USD/CHF Price Analysis: Retreats from weekly highs amidst ongoing consolidation
- USD/CHF trades at 0.9058, capped on the topside by 0.9117/20; on the downside by the confluence of the 50 and 20-day EMAs at 0.9041 and 0.9039.
- A decisive break below 0.8980 could push USD/CHF towards June 9, 2021, low at 0.8925.
- To continue bullish momentum, USD/CHF needs to break past the 0.9120 area, eyeing April 3 high at 0.9196.
USD/CHF halts its rally to just two days, retraces from weekly highs reached on Monday at 0.9109, shy of testing the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9117. Therefore, the USD/CHF is trading at 0.9058, below its opening price by 0.34%.
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF daily chart is neutral to downward biased but cushioned on the downside by the presence of the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9041, immediately followed by the 20-day EMA at 0.9039. Conversely, USD/CHF’s first resistance is the weekly high, followed by the 100-day EMA and April 10 high at the 0.9117/20 area, tested three times. However, the USD/CHF remains trading below the latter since the end of March 2023.
If USD/CHF would resume its downtrend, it needs a decisive break below the June 9 swing low of 0.8980. Once cleared, the USD/CHF would slide toward June 9, 2021, a low of 0.8925, before testing the 0.8900 figure.
Conversely, for a USD/CHF bullish continuation, the pair must claim the 0.9120 area. Once broken, the USD/CHF next supply zone would be the April 3 high at 0.9196 before challenging the 0.9200 handle.
