- USD/CHF bounced off the weekly lows around 0.9110s as the US Dollar pares its losses.
- USD/CHF Price Analysis: To shift neutral, above 0.9200; otherwise, the YTD lows would be tested.
The USD/CHF finished Thursday’s session with a loss of 0.11% after hitting a low of 0.9118 and closing at around 0.9163. As the Asian session begins, the USD/CHF is trading at around 0.9160s, as sellers continued to drive prices for the fourth straight day.
USD/CHF Price action
The USD/CHF daily chart portrays the pair as downward biased, but Thursday’s price action formed a hammer candlestick preceded by a downtrend; it’s usually a bullish candle. But buyers need to crack March’s 23 daily high at 0.9180 if they want to drive the USD/CHF higher.
For a bullish resumption, the USD/CHF first resistance would be 0.9200. Break above, and the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9249 would be up for grabs. The 50-day EMA would be tested at 0.9278 before the USD/CHF reaches 0.9300.
On the flip side, and the path of least resistance, the USD/CHF first support would be March’s 23 low at 0.9118. A breach of the latter and the USD/CHF will fall to the March 13 daily low at 0.9070 before challenging the YTD low at 0.9059.
