USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The pair remains consolidated in the 0.9140 to 0.9280 area for the tenth consecutive day, though the USD/CHF fell and hit a new weekly lof of 0.9136 before recovering some ground, resting at around the 0.9150 area. Nevertheless, the USD/CHF bears remain in charge, as the daily EMAs sits above the spot price, while oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Rate of Change (RoC) suggest the neutral-downward bias remains intact.

The USD/CHF support areas would be the day’s low at 0.9136, followed by the 0.9100 figure. Once broken it will exacerbate a USD/CHF fall to the YTD low of 0.9085, followed by the 0.9000 psychological figure.

On the other hand, if the USD/CHF reclaims 0.9200, then the 20-day EMA would be up for grabs at 0.9220. Once done, the USD/CHF could aim towards the January 31 daily high at 0.9288, on its way to the 0.9300 psychological barrier.
