USD/CHF Price Forecasts: Support at 0.7740 keeps holding bears

  • USD/CHF trades flat near 0.7780 after bouncing from 0.7740 lows
  • The Greenback's recovery lost momentum following mixed US economic data.
  • Elliott Wave analysis suggests an A-B-C correction towards the 0.7880 area.


The US Dollar is flat against the Swiss Franc on Thursday, trading around 0.7780 at the time of writing. The pair’s recovery from last week’s lows has been capped at 0.7818, but downside attempts remain limited above 0.7740, which keeps the immediate bullish trend in play.

The US Dollar rally, however, has lost momentum following Wednesday’s mixed US data. The ADP Employment report revealed that job creation slumped in January, offsetting better-than-expected US ISM Services PMI figures, which also showed an unexpected slowdown in labour demand.

Technical Analysis: Potential A-B-C correction towards the 0.7880 area 

Chart Analysis USD/CHF

The USD/CHF is looking for direction with technical indicators showing a neutral-to-positive bias. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) in the 4-hour chart highlights a fading bullish momentum, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 midline, reinforcing a modest upside bias.

Elliott Wave Analysis would suggest that the pair is in an A-B-C corrective impulse heading beyond February 2 highs at 0.7820 towards the resistance area between the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, at 0.7870, and the January 20 and 22 lows, near 0.7885.

On the downside, a confirmation below support at the 0.7740 area (February 3 low) invalidates this view and would increase pressure towards the January 30 low, near 0,7640.
