USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The technical picture shows the USD/CHF is downward biased, with momentum in sync as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
Although the USD/CHF bottomed out at around 0.7600 and recovered towards 0.7800, the pair has already registered a lower high, paving the way for further downside. Since peaking, the pair edged towards0.7627 before resuming upwards, and for the last three trading days, it has consolidated within 0.7600-0.7700.
For a bearish continuation, sellers must clear 0.7600 which could open the door for further downside. The first key support level would be 0.7550, followed by 0.7500.
Conversely, if USD/CHF surpasses 0.770, the first resistance would be the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7780. A breach of the latter will expose 0.7800, followed by the December 24 daily low turned resistance at 0.7861. Up next, lies 0.7900.
