USD/CHF technical analysis: Sustained move beyond 1.0120 hurdle to pave way for further intraday gains
|• The USD/CHF pair has managed to hold its neck above an ascending trend-line support - extending from early-Jan. swing lows, albeit struggled to clear the 1.0120 static resistance.
• The fact that the pair remains above its important daily moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-day SMAs support prospects for a bullish breakout amid fading safe-haven demand.
Meanwhile, technical indicators on the daily chart haven't been able to gain positive traction, making it prudent for bullish traders to wait for a sustained move beyond the said hurdle before positioning for any further up-move towards 1.0155-60 supply zone.
On the flip side, the ascending trend-line - now coinciding with 50-day SMA, might now act as a key pivotal point for short-term traders, below which the pair is likely to head back towards challenging the parity mark en-route the next support near mid-0.9900s.
