USD/CHF Price Analysis: Bullish flag on 4H keeps buyers hopeful

USD/CHF holds onto recovery gains from 0.9275 inside a bullish chart pattern.
One-month-old support line adds to the downside filters as MACD flirts with buyers.
Confirmation of bullish chart can recall April 2020 levels.

USD/CHF picks up bids to 0.9300, up 0.13% intraday during the pre-European session trading on Monday. In doing so, the quote remains positive inside a short-term bullish flag technical formation.

Other than the upbeat chart patterns, MACD’s receding bearish bias and an upward sloping support line from mid-February also favor USD/CHF buyers.

However, a clear break of 0.9315 becomes necessary to confirm the pair’s run-up towards April 2020 levels surrounding 0.9800

During the rise, tops marked in late June and July, respectively around 0.9470 and 0.9530, should test the USD/CHF bulls.

Meanwhile, a downside break of the stated pattern’s support line, at 0.9223 now, will need to break the short-term support line surrounding 0.9185 to recall USD/CHF sellers.

Following that, February 2021 peak near 0.9100 may regain the market’s attention.

AUD/USD hangs near three-week low, below 0.6950 as traders await US NFP report

AUD/USD hits a three-week low during the Asian session on Friday as the RBA’s dovish shift and a rout in equity markets weigh on the risk-sensitive Aussie.
