USD/CHF Price Forecast: Slides below 200-day SMA, bears gain steam
- USD/CHF drops below 200-day SMA as risk sentiment improves sharply.
- RSI turns lower, signaling growing bearish momentum in near term.
- Failure to reclaim 0.7940 exposes 0.7812 support and deeper downside.
The USD/CHF retreats some 0.85% on Wednesday after failing to clear the April 7 daily high of 0.8010, and as the pair slides beneath the 200-day SMA of 0.7940, as market sentiment gets lifted by a two-week ceasefire in the Middle East conflict. The pair trades at 0.7909 after reaching a high of 0.7980.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
Despite retreating, the USD/CHF remains upward-biased, bouncing off key support at the March 3 daily high, which turned into support at 0.7879, reclaiming the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7886, and climbing above 0.7900.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the neutral level but is plunging and poised to turn bearish, an indication that sellers are gaining momentum. Should price action follow suit the RSI, the USD/CHF could challenge the 50-day SMA at 0.7812 in the short term.
Otherwise, if USD/CHF climbs back above the 200-day SMA at 0.7940, a move back towards 0.8000 is on the cards..
