USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Now seems poised to extend the momentum towards 1.0050 level

Haresh Menghani FXStreet

• The pair seemed struggling to capitalize/build on the recent positive momentum further beyond the parity mark, but has already found acceptance above 38.2% Fibo. level of the 1.0124-0.9895 recent downfall.

• Moreover, the fact that the pair is holding comfortably above intraday moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-hour SMAs, and the occurrence of a golden cross on the 1-hourly chart support prospects for further gains.

• Hence, any meaningful dips below an intraday ascending trend-line support, towards 0.9970 horizontal zone - also coinciding with 50-hour SMA, might still be looked upon as a buying opportunity.

• Meanwhile, a sustained move beyond the parity mark is likely to accelerate the up-move towards the 1.0020 supply zone before the pair eventually aims to test the next major hurdle near the 1.0050 region.
