USD/CHF Price Forecast: Climbs past 0.7900, eyes on 200-day SMA

  • USD/CHF rebounds from 100-day SMA, extending gains for second day.
  • RSI above 50 signals bullish momentum building toward overbought territory.
  • Break above 0.8000 exposes YTD high and 0.8124 resistance.

The USD/CHF advances for the second day of the week, up by nearly 0.45% after bouncing off the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), slightly above the 0.7900 figure. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.7915 as the US Dollar remains boosted by geopolitical uncertainty.

USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Recently, the USD/CHF has been trading sideways amid a lack of a clear catalyst amid the Middle East war. Still, over the last two days, buyers seem to be pressing towards clearing the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7946, a key resistance level on the buyers’ path towards 0.8000.

Momentum confirms that bulls are in charge, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above its 50-neutral level and heading towards overbought territory.

With that said, the USD/CHF needs to surpass the key resistance levels mentioned in the second paragraph. If buyers reclaim 0.8000, it opens the door to challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.8046. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the November 5 swing high at 0.8124.
