USD/CHF Price Analysis: US Dollar hovers around 0.8000 after refreshing YTD high
- USD/CHF retreats after hitting a YTD high at 0.8042.
- RSI remains bullish, supporting continuation of the broader upward trend.
- Break above 0.8000 targets 0.8041 and 0.8100 resistance levels.
The USD/CHF pair retreats on Tuesday after hitting a year-to-date (YTD) high at 0.8042, hovering below the 0.8000 figure amid growing speculation of a de-escalation of the Middle East conflict. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.7997, up 0.01%.
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical Outlook
The technical picture shows that USD/CHF remains upward-biased after clearing the crucial 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7942. Even though it is trading off daily highs, the momentum supports buyers, as evidenced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in bullish territory, aiming higher.
If USD/CHF climbs past 0.8000, the next resistance would be 0.8041. Once surpassed, the next area of interest becomes the November 25 daily high at 0.8102, ahead of the August 1 swing high at 0.8171.
On the other hand, if the pair struggles at 0.8000 and closes below it on a daily basis, the first support would be the March 30 daily low at 0.7971. On further weakness, the pair could drop towards the 200-day SMA at 0.7942, ahead of the 0.7900 mark.
