USD/CHF price forecast: Technical outlook
The market structure remains bullish, with USD/CHF forming a series of higher highs and higher lows. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish, indicating that buyers are gaining momentum and opening the door to further upside. Hence, the path of least resistance is upwards.
The first ceiling level for USD/CHF to clear is the July 13 high at 0.8149. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the August 1, 2025, high at 0.8172, followed by 0.8200. On further strength, the next area of interest will be the June 19, 2025, peak at 0.8215, ahead of the June 4, 2025, daily peak at 0.8250. Once those levels are taken out, the next stop is 0.8300.
On the flip side, to turn bearish, the USD/CHF needs to clear the latest cycle low seen at 0.8061, the July 17 low of the day (LOD), followed by the July 10 swing low of 0.8030. Below lies the 0.8000 mark.
