USD/CHF Price Forecast: Poised to extend gains beyond 0.8100 amid broadly firmer USD
- USD/CHF attracts fresh buyers on Tuesday and reverses a major part of the previous day’s losses.
- The US-Iran uncertainty, along with Fed hike bets, revives the USD demand and supports the pair.
- The bullish technical setup backs the case for a further near-term appreciating move for spot prices.
The USD/CHF pair sticks to its modest intraday gains through the first half of the European session on Tuesday, with bulls now awaiting a sustained strength above the 0.8100 mark before placing fresh bets.
Renewed US-Iran hostilities over the weekend revived inflationary fears, bolstering bets for US Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate increases. This, in turn, assists the US Dollar (USD) to regain positive traction following a three-day corrective pullback from its highest level since May 2025 and turns out to be a key factor acting as a tailwind for the USD/CHF pair.,
From a technical perspective, the strong move up from the year-to-date low, set in January, has been along an ascending channel, pointing to a well-established uptrend. Adding to this, the recent breakout through the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a move beyond the 0.8000 psychological mark were seen as key triggers for the USD/CHF bulls.
Moreover, positive oscillators on the daily chart suggest that buying pressure persists, reinforcing the underlying trend as spot prices remain closer to the upper half of the channel. The Relative Strength Index (14) is at 65.26 and hovers near overbought territory, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram stays slightly positive.
The USD/CHF pair, however, could be vulnerable to consolidation if momentum fades. In the meantime, immediate resistance is defined by the channel’s upper boundary at 0.8154, where a sustained break would open the way for a continuation of the medium-term uptrend.
On the downside, initial support is seen at the current area around 0.8097. This is followed by stronger structural backing at the 200-day EMA near 0.7975. A deeper pullback would expose the channel floor at 0.7841, where buyers are likely to defend the broader bullish structure.
