USD/CHF Price Analysis: Faces stiff resistance, retreats below 0.8000
- USD/CHF trims gains as risk sentiment improves on ceasefire hopes.
- RSI remains bullish, signaling buyers still control overall trend.
- Break above 0.8000 targets 0.8042 and 0.8100 resistance levels.
USD/CHF trims some of its earlier gains as the market mood improved on a Reuters headline that a Senior Iranian official said Tehran is reviewing positively Pakistan’s two-week ceasefire proposal, which pushed US equities higher. At the time of writing, the pair edges towards its opening price, up 0.08% at 0.7978.
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical Outlook
The USD/CHF technical picture appears constructive, but a failure to clear 0.8000 is exacerbating a pullback towards 0.7950. Price action suggests that the uptrend is intact, as the series of subsequent higher highs and higher lows remains intact, but a break below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7941 could put the uptrend at risk. A breach of the latter will expose the 20-day SMA at 0.7918, followed by the April 1 low of 0.7904.
Conversely, if USD/CHF rises above 0.8000, this opens the door for further upside. The next area of interest will be the March 31 swing high at 0.8042, followed by the 0.8100 mark.
Momentum-wise, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, suggesting buyers remain in charge.
