USD/CHF Price Forecast: Shooting star warns bulls below 0.8200

  • USD/CHF extends seven-day rally, but 0.8200 caps upside.
  • Bullish RSI supports the trend, though a shooting star pattern warns of a correction.
  • A break below 0.8124 exposes the 50-day SMA and 0.8052.

The USD/CHF pair extends its gains for the seventh straight trading session on Monday, up a minimal 0.05% after registering a six-week high of 0.8195, shy of cracking 0.8200, but ultimately poised to end the session at around 0.8169.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical Outlook

The overall trend is up, but a looming shooting star could trigger a short-term pullback in USD/CHF. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates bullish momentum and is trending higher. So even though the market structure could point lower, it could be a short-lived leg down before the uptrend resumes.

If bullish momentum resumes, USD/CHF may re-test the 0.8200 figure. A decisive breakout can drive spot prices past the yearly high of 0.8207, with June 19, 2025, seen as the next resistance area at 0.8215, ahead of the June 4, 2025, high at 0.8250. On further strength, the next level is 0.8300.

For a bearish reversal, the USD/CHF pair needs to drop below the September 11 swing low of 0.8124, followed by the 50-day SMA at 0.8098. Once cleared, the next area of interest becomes the September 3 low of 0.8052.
