USD/CHF Price Forecast: Looking overstretched at YTD highs near 0.8100
- USD/CHF nears 0.8100 after rallying almost 2% in the last four trading days.
- Fed - SNB monetary policy divergence is acting as a tailwind for the US Dollar.
- RSI is reaching overbought levels in most timeframes, which hints at a potential correction
The US Dollar (USD) keeps marching higher against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Monday, trading at year-to-date highs around 0.8085 at the time of writing and starting to look overstretched after having rallied nearly 2% over the last four trading days.
The US Dollar is drawing support from monetary policy divergence as last week's Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting fuelled hopes of at least one rate cut this year, while the Swiss National Bank (SNB) is not expected to lift its benchmark rate from the current 0% in the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, a cautious optimism following reported progress in the US-Iran talks keep the safe-haven US Dollar buoyed on Monday. Washington and Tehran have agreed on a roadmap to end the war in 60 days, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and US President Donald Trump threatened to resume attacks over the weekend, which is keeping investors on edge,
Technical analysis: The US Dollar is reaching overbought levels
USD/CHF trades at 0.8090, showing a constructive near-term bias yet with momentum indicators hinting at an overstretched rally. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits deep in overbought territory near 72, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains positive, altogether suggesting strong but potentially stretched bullish momentum.
On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the late November 2025 highs, in the area of 0.8100, ahead of the early November 2025 highs, at the 0.8125 area, and the August 2025 high, which is coincident with the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the May-June rally, in the 0.8160-0.8170 area.
Bearish attempts are likely to be tested at Friday's low, near 0.8045, ahead of the previous high, at 0.8013, and the June 18 low, in the 0.7975 area.
