USD/CHF Price Forecast: Bearish flag forms as bulls eye 0.8200

Source Fxstreet
  • USD/CHF refreshes ten-day highs as uptrend remains intact.
  • Bearish flag warns of retracement below 50-day SMA.
  • Break above flag targets 0.8200 and yearly peak.

The USD/CHF edges higher by some 0.30% on Wednesday, refreshing ten-day highs of 0.8138, as the uptrend is poised to extend if it clears key resistance levels.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The market structure of successive higher highs and higher lows continues to be respected, indicating that the uptrend remains in place. Nevertheless, it seems that a bearish flag is forming, which could open the door for a deeper pullback before the USD/CHF resumes its uptrend.

Momentum remains bullish as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). But if USD/CHF falls below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8071, it opens the door to a retracement, initially to 0.8042, ahead of 0.8000.

Conversely, if the pair surpasses the top trendline of the bearish flag, this clears the way towards 0.8200 and the yearly peak at 0.8205. Once those two levels are removed, buyers could challenge the psychological levels of 0.8250 and 0.8300.
