USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

After failing to extend its losses below 0.9167, the USD/CHF stages a comeback. Formation of a bullish harami could open the door for further upside, though it needs to be confirmed once the USD/CHF reclaims 0.9292. If that scenario is achieved, then the USD/CHF next resistance would be the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which tracks bullish/bearishness price action in the pair, at 0.9299. followed by the last week’s high of 0.9409.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains at bearish territory, though aiming up, keeping buyer hopeful of higher prices.

As an alternate scenario, the USD/CHF key support levels would be the 0.9200 figure, followed by the January 9 daily low of 0.9167, ahead of the 0.9100 mark.
