USD/CHF Price Forecast: Steady near three-week low, traders eye 0.8200 break
- USD/CHF hovers near 0.8207; daily close below 0.8200 could accelerate downside.
- RSI signals bearish momentum building as pair tests May 7 low of 0.8184.
- Bulls must clear 0.8250 to shift short-term bias, with 0.8300 as next resistance.
USD/CHF clings to minimal gains of 0.03% on Monday amid the lack of trading activity due to US markets being closed for the Memorial Day holiday. However, on Sunday, US President Trump's comments boosted the Greenback after he postponed tariffs on the European Union. At the time of writing, the major pair trades at 0.8207.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The downtrend is set to continue even though the USD/CHF fall paused due to subdued trading on Monday. Despite this, the pair tumbled to a new three-week low of 0.8191, and if a daily close below 0.8200 is achieved, expect further downside.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that further downside is expected as the RSI falls and widens the distance from its neutral line, indicating that sellers are gathering steam.
That said, USD/CHF next support would be May 7 low of 0.8184. Once surpassed, the next line of defense will be the 0.81 figure, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8038.
Conversely, if USD/CHF climbs past 0.8250, this will exert upward pressure on the pair. Buyer’s next goal will be the 0.8300 mark. Moving above the latter will expose the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8419.
