USD/CHF Price Forecast: Bulls reclaim 0.8100 after SMA bounce

  • USD/CHF snaps a two-day slide after defending 50-day SMA support.
  • RSI crosses above neutral, confirming buyers regain near-term control.
  • A break above 0.8150 exposes 0.8200 and the yearly high.

The USD/CHF pair snaps two days of losses and rises by over 0.60% on Thursday after solid US jobs data. Also, buyers stepped in at key support at the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 0.8052, pushing the pair back above the 0.8100 threshold.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

USD/CHF uptrend remains intact, with the market structure of higher highs and higher lows continuing to be respected. Also, momentum, as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), shows that buyers are in control, as the index crosses above its 50-neutral level.

Given the backdrop, the pair faces key resistance at 0.8150. Once breached, a move towards 0.8200 is on the cards. Above lies the yearly high of 0.8207, which, once cleared, would extend the USD/CHF rally towards the June 4, 2025, cycle high at 0.8250. Up next is 0.8300.

On the downside, the first support for USD/CHF would be at 0.8100. If spot prices fall below the 50-day SMA at 0.8052, the next floor level emerges at 0.8000.
