USD/CHF Price Action
Following a break of a support trendline drawn from March 13 lows around 0.9070, the USD/CHF exacerbated its fall and broke to a new YTD low since the first day of April. Although the pair braced for the 0.9050 area, it posted two days of 60-plus pips back-to-back losses, dragging prices to levels last seen since June 2021.
If USD/CHF breaks below 0.8950, that would expose the 2023 YTD low at 0.8943. Once cleared, the USD/CHF could tumble toward the June 9 low at 0.8926, followed by the 0.8900 figure. On the other hand, if the USD/CHF reclaims the 0.9000 mark, upside risks lie at the April 12 high at 0.9035, followed by 0.9050, ahead of testing the 20-day EMA at 0.9106.
