USD/CHF market insights
Pivot points are a technical indicator that traders use to predict upcoming areas of technical significance, such as support and resistance. They're calculated by averaging the high, low and closing prices of a previous period. That could be a day, a week or a month.
If a market is trading above its previous pivot point (known as P), it is seen as a bullish signal. If it is below, it is bearish.
Support and resistance levels are a core part of technical analysis, providing crucial insight into possible future price reversals.

USD/CHF overview
USD/CHF is the ticker for the exchange rate between the US dollar and Swiss franc, referred to as trading the ‘Swissie’. It tells traders how many francs are needed to buy a US dollar.
The Swiss franc is considered a safe haven, due to the neutrality of Switzerland on global issues and its reputation as a key economic hub in Europe, especially for customers looking for secure locations to store cash. As such, CHF tends to hold value or rise in periods of economic uncertainty.
USD/CHF tends to have a negative correlation with EUR/USD and GBP/USD due to the positive correlation between the euro, pound and Swiss franc.
