USD/CHF Price Forecast: US Dollar holds key support, bulls eye YTD high

  • USD/CHF retraces from YTD high, but bullish structure remains intact.
  • RSI holds above 50, signaling bulls remain firmly in control.
  • Break above 0.8100 exposes 0.8139 and 0.8171 resistance.

The USD/CHF pair holds firm around 0.8070 on Tuesday, after losing 0.29% on Monday, supported by broad US Dollar (USD) weakness amid month-end flows and improving risk appetite.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The uptrend paused as USD/CHF retraced from a year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.8139, opening the door for a 70-pip drop. However, buyers had stepped in, signaling that bullish momentum hasn’t faded.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above its 50-neutral level and closing in on overbought territory. This means that bulls are in charge.

For a bullish continuation, USD/CHF must climb above 0.8100 and clear the YTD high. Above this area is August 1, 2025, with a daily high of 0.8171, followed by the June 19, 2025, high of 0.8215. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the June 4 high at 0.8250.

Downwards, the first support would be the March 31 high-turned support at 0.8042, followed by the June 11 high at 0.8013. Below, the next area of interest would be 0.8000.
