USD/CHF Price Forecast: Double top threatens 0.8220 support
- USD/CHF tumbles below 0.8300 after failing to conquer 0.8400.
- RSI approaches bearish territory, signaling weakening bullish momentum.
- Break below 0.8227 confirms double top, exposing 0.8189 and 0.8116.
The USD/CHF struggles at 0.8350, dives below the 0.8300 figure as a ‘double top’ chart pattern looms in the daily chart, even though the overall trend is up. The pair trades at 0.8269, down almost 1%.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The uptrend remains intact, as the market structure of higher highs and higher lows holds so far. Nevertheless, the USD/CHF failed to conquer 0.8400 on Wednesday, exacerbating the pair’s drop below 0.8300.
On the other hand, momentum is shifting in favour of sellers, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), with the index trending lower and poised to turn bearish.
Nevertheless, if buyers push the USD/CHF above 0.8300, this paves the way to challenge the 0.8350 psychological level ahead of the yearly high of 0.8395. Once those levels are taken out, it would open the door to challenge 0.8400.
On the flip side, if USD/CHF extends its loss below the October 2 low of 0.8227, this would confirm the ‘double top,’ opening the door for a move towards the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 0.8189. The next support is the 100-day SMA at 0.8116.
