USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The daily chart shows the pair as bearish biased, but it also appears to have broken down around 0.9200. Since December, the inability of the USD/CHF pair to break below 0.9200, forming a triple bottom, has opened the door for a leg-up, although the low liquidity conditions since last week have prevented the USD/CHF pair from testing the 0.9300 figure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in bearish territory, limiting any rally towards 0.9300, while the Rate of Change (RoC) shows that selling pressure is waning.

Also, the USD/CHF is forming a falling wedge that it’s bullish. Therefore, the USD/CHF might test the 0/9300 figure, closely followed by a challenge of the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at around 0.9319. The break above will expose the top-trendline of a descending channel around 0.9370, followed by the 0.9400 figure.
