USD/CHF Price Analysis: Falls to 2-month lows below 0.8900

  • USD/CHF plunged to two-month lows at 0.8889, shedding 0.72%, on weaker-than-expected US jobs data and a weakening Dollar.
  • The pair breaks a two-month support trend line, extending losses below 0.8900.
  • The next target is the year-to-date low of 0.8819, waiting to break above the psychological level of 0.8850.
  • If the buyers recover 0.8900, initial resistance lies at 0.8950, followed by the 20-day EMA at 0.8967 and the 50-day EMA at 0.8997.

Friday, the USD/CHF It hit a new two-month low, after less encouraging-than-expected labor data from the United States (US) weakened the US dollar (USD). Earlier, USD/CHF hit a daily high of 0.8970, which fell below the 0.8900 figure after the data was released. USD/CHF is trading at 0.8889, down 0.72%.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical Perspective

From a daily chart perspective, USD/CHF extended its losses beyond 0.8900 after breaking a supportive trend line from two months ago. This compounded USD/CHF’s slide below the June 16 swing low at 0.8901, intermediate support opening the door to a test of the year-to-date low at 0.8819. However, USD/CHF must break the psychological level of 0.8850 on its way down.

In particular, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Three-Day Rate of Change (RoC) suggest that sellers are still in command as both turned bearish.

Conversely, if USD/CHF buyers recapture 0.8900, first resistance would emerge at 0.8950. If the latter is broken, USD/CHF could rally to the 20-day EMA at 0.8967, followed by the 50-day EMA at 0.8997. A break of the latter would bring 0.9000 into play.
