USD/CHF price forecast: Technical outlook
Given the recent rise in the US Dollar as markets price in Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes, USD/CHF could end the year on a higher note.
Bullish momentum has resumed as depicted in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Along with price action respecting the bullish structure of successive higher highs and higher lows, this momentum can pave the way for further upside.
If USD/CHF clears the previous year-to-date high, it could test 0.8300. A decisive breakout can drive prices to May 29, 2025, high of 0.8347 before testing the 0.8400 figure. Once cleared, the next stop is on May 12, 2025, at 0.8476.
On the downside, if the pair retreats to 0.8200, a breakout could send USD/CHF to 0.8183, the Tuesday low. Beneath the next stop are the psychological key support levels at 0.8150 and 0.8100.
