USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bears attack 200-DMA with eyes on 0.9157
|- USD/CHF remains on the back foot for the second consecutive day.
- Break of six-week-old trend line joins bearish MACDI signal to favor bears.
- November 30 lures short-term sellers, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement adds to upside filters.
USD/CHF stays offered around a fortnight low, down 0.09% intraday near 0.9181 heading into Friday’s European session.
In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair sellers battle with the 200-DMA level after breaking an ascending support line from November 02 the previous day. Adding strength to the bearish bias is the MACD conditions and multiple rejections from 23.6% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of June-November upside.
That said, the USD/CHF sellers are on the way to the November 30 low of 0.9157 but need validation from the 200-DMA level of 0.9180.
Following that, the 50% Fibo. and an ascending support line from early August, respectively around 0.9150 and 0.9125, will be in focus.
On the contrary, the corrective pullback will challenge the support-turned-resistance line near 0.9200.
Even so, USD/CHF bulls remain cautious until rising back beyond the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.9267, which in turn will direct the advances towards November’s peak near 0.9375.
