USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Price action shows that neither buyers nor sellers are in control as the USD/CHF meanders around 0.8050. Worth noting that to resume the downtrend, bears must clear the August 29 low of 0.7985 In orders to drop and challenge July 23 low of 0.7911.
On the other hand, bulls reclaim the August 22 high of 0.8104 and look for a rally toward the 100-day SMA at 0.8123.
From a momentum standpoint, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) adds to the ongoing confusion, standing near the 50 neutral line, without providing clues on who’s winning the battle: the bulls or the bears.
Given that conclusion, traders should wait for a catalyst, before opening fresh bets in the USD/CHF pair. With Nonfarm Payroll figures to be released, an upbeat report could warrant further upside on the pair. Otherwise, hints of jobs market weakness suggests that the Federal Reserve could ease policy, a sign cheered by the bears.
