USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF is upward biased from a daily chart perspective, as shown by the daily moving averages (DMAs) sitting below the exchange rate. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI), well within the overbought territory at 79.01, might suggest that the pair is about to peak, nevertheless, it is aiming higher.
With that said, the USD/CHF’s first resistance would be March’s 23 daily high at 0.9901. Once cleared, the next step would be the parity at 1.000.
