USD/CHF Price Forecast: Bulls pause below 0.8150 as momentum fades
- USD/CHF retreated after failing to sustain a break above the 0.8150 resistance level touched earlier this week.
- The pair holds above the 0.8000 psychological level and key moving averages.
- Momentum indicators suggest the recent rally is losing pace.
USD/CHF trades with a downside bias on Friday as the Swiss Franc (CHF) outperforms its major peers, while the US Dollar (USD) is little changed. At the time of writing, the pair trades around 0.8074 after reaching 0.8149 earlier this week, its highest level since August 2025.
From a technical perspective, USD/CHF is still in a steady uptrend, marked by higher highs and higher lows, with the pair trading above its key moving averages. However, buyers have struggled to clear the multi-month resistance at 0.8150, suggesting that the rally that began in early May is losing momentum.
On the daily chart, the pair holds above the 100-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), clustered around 0.7920 and 0.7919, respectively. It also trades above the 0.8000 psychological level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 54 indicates modest bullish momentum, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) near 26 hints at a moderately directional trend. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator sits slightly negative, reinforcing the idea of a maturing advance where upside may slow but is still supported by underlying structure.
On the downside, initial support is seen at 0.8000, followed by the 100-day SMA at 0.7920 and the 200-day SMA at 0.7919. These moving averages form a broader demand zone if the pullback deepens.
On the topside, immediate resistance sits at 0.8150. A sustained break above this barrier could extend the broader recovery, while another rejection would likely keep the pair consolidating above the 0.8000 support.
