They see a rebound developing but stress the importance of reclaiming 0.9335/0.9370. Failure could extend the pullback towards 0.9140 and the May 2025 low at 0.9095.

"EUR/CHF has extended its pullback after breaching a multi-month ascending trend line. The pair briefly dipped below the 200-DMA and carved out an interim low near 0.9195."
