USD/CHF Price Forecast: Sinks to a two-week low near 0’.8200 on safe-haven demand
- Franc surges nearly 1% as Trump’s tariff threats trigger risk aversion and deepen the Dollar’s slide.
- USD/CHF breaks below 0.8250, nearing key support at May’s low of 0.8184.
- Bearish flag breakdown points to possible test of 2025 low at 0.8038.
- Traders pile into Swiss Franc as US protectionism and fiscal risks spook markets.
USD/CHF continues to weaken as the downtrend extends past 0.8250 as the pair losses almost 1%.

At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.8203, at new two-week lows.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
As of writing, the USD/CHF is tilted to the downside after clearing the bottom fo a ‘bearish flag’ pattern, which indicates that the pair might test the current year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8038.
Momentum favors further downside, as USD/CHF has achieved a successive series of lower highs and lower lows, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remaining in bearish territory.
On its way towards the YTD low, the USD/CHF must drop below 0.8200. A breach of the latter will expose May’s low of 0.8184, followed by 0.8100 and the 0.8050 mark.
On the upside, buyers need to clear the May 22 peak of 0.8396, ahead of the 0.8350 and 0.8400.
