USD/CHF Price Forecast: Struggles at 0.7800 dives below 50-day SMA
- USD/CHF drops 0.53% to 0.7771 as weak US jobs data pressures the Dollar.
- Break below 0.7700 could expose trendline support near 0.7670 and 0.7601.
- Reclaiming 0.7800 would target 0.7878 and the 100-day SMA at 0.7905.
The USD/CHF retreats during the North American session, down 0.53% as the Greenback weakens following a dismal jobs report, and a break to four day low beneath the 0.7800 figure. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.7771, yet it remains to end the week with gains of more than 1%.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The technical picture shows the USD/CHF remaining downward biased as the pair failed to clear the 0.7800, opening the door for further downside. Momentum has begun to shift slightly negatively as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), about to clear its neutral level. That said, the path of least resistance is tilted to the downside.
The first area of demand will be a support trendline drawn from current year lows of around 0.7601 which passe near the 0.7670-0.7700 range. A breach of the latter will expose the January 28 swing low of 0.7601.
On the other hand, if USD/CHF reclaims 0.7800, expect a test of the March 3 swing high at 0.7878. On further strength the next area of interest will be the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7905.
