USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical Outlook

Despite the retreat, the USD/CHF trend remains upward, with the low of the day at 0.8191, near the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.8193, which was briefly pierced before buyers pushed the pair above the 0.8200 mark.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates bearish momentum; however, market structure suggests further upside is expected.

For a bullish resumption, buyers must reclaim the 0.8250 area. This exposes the 0.8300 level, followed by the October 15 high at 0.8354, ahead of a challenge of the October 14 high at 0.8395. The next area of interest is 0.8400, followed by the April 1, 2025 high at 0.8847.

On the downside, the USD/CHF first support is 0.8200, followed by the 50-day SMA. The next support is the 100-day SMA at 0.8134, followed by 0.8100.
