USD/CHF Price Forecast: Slides below 0.82, reaches multi-week low as USD appreciates
|- USD/CHF drops to 0.8155 amid renewed 'Sell America' sentiment across global markets.
- RSI confirms bearish momentum; next targets are YTD low at 0.8083 and psychological support at 0.8000.
- Recovery needs a break above 0.8200, with resistance at 0.8300 and last week’s high at 0.8346.
USD/CHF extended its losses during Monday’s North American session, down 0.60% as the Greenback weakened across the board. An earlier risk-off impulse, which surprisingly shifted positively, weighs on the US Dollar (USD), which did not capitalize on its status as the 'sell America' trade continues to gain steam in the financial markets. The pair trades below 0.8200 after hitting a six-week low of 0.8155.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Since hitting a weekly high of 0.8346, the USD/CHF pair has plummeted sharply due to overall weakness in the US Dollar. Momentum as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows that sellers are gathering momentum. This means the major could retest the year-to-date (YTD) lows hit on April 21, a swing low of 0.8083. If that level is surpassed, the next stop would be the 0.8000 figure.
Conversely, if USD/CHF drops below 0.8100, the next support would be the abovementioned YTD low of 0.8083sd and the 0.8000 figure.
