USD/CHF Price Analysis: Clings to gains as trade tensions begin to fade
- USD/CHF gains 0.19% to 0.9126, retreating from three-week peak as trade negotiations show promise.
- Technical analysis suggests bullish trend with potential to target 0.9200 if support at 0.9100 holds.
- Downside risks loom if pair drops below 0.9100, with possible retracement to 0.8990 SMA level.
The USD/CHF trims some gains after reaching a three-week high of 0.9195. Risk appetite improves due to a delay in the US applying tariffs in Mexico, an indication that Washington is open to negotiating trade terms. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.9126, up 0.19%.
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF is in a correction mode on an intraday basis, but the overall trend is upward, as depicted in the daily chart. However, bulls need to keep prices above 0.9100 on a daily basis so they can challenge the 0.9200 figure in the near term.
Momentum favors further upside, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Therefore, if USD/CHF advances past 0.9200, the following key resistance would be the April 2024 high at 0.9224 before challenging 0.9300.
Nevertheless, if sellers push the USD/CHF exchange rate below 0.9100, this could pave the way for a pullback towards the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8990. A breach of the latter will expose a November 2024 swing low of 0.8956.
