USD/CHF Price Analysis: Hovers below 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, trades near 0.8870
|- USD/CHF has lost more than 100 pips in the previous session.
- MACD indicates a slower pace of the prevailing bearish trend.
- The major level at 0.8900 appears as the immediate resistance lined up with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement.
USD/CHF lost more than 100 pips in the previous session, due to the downbeat US inflation data. The USD/CHF pair extends the losses, trading near 0.8870 during the European session on Wednesday.
A decisive break below the latter could push the USD/CHF pair to reach the support region near 0.8800 psychological level lined up with September’s low at 0.8795.
The technical indicators for the USD/CHF pair reveal a bearish outlook. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) below the 50 level indicates downward pressure, signaling a bearish momentum and reflecting a weaker market sentiment.
On the upside, the psychological level at 0.8900 appears as the immediate resistance, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.8922. A firm break above the level could inspire the USD/CHF pair to explore the next resistance around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.8986.
Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, although below the centerline, is positioned above the signal line. This suggests a somewhat tepid momentum in the USD/CHF pair, indicating a less pronounced bearish sentiment.
