CAD/CHF
CAD/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.

CAD/CHF details
CAD/CHF is the forex quote for the Canadian dollar against the Swiss franc. The pair tells traders how many francs are needed to buy a single Canadian dollar.
The Canadian dollar’s price is largely impacted by natural resources, most notably oil, which has made it a popular way for forex traders to diversify. It’s known as a commodity currency. This means that traders need to be aware of the price of oil, as higher exports can increase the value of CAD and lower the CAD/CHF price.
Conversely, the franc may experience an increase in value during periods of economic decline thanks to its reputation as a ‘safe haven’.
The different levels of risk between the currencies – CAD being higher risk, and CHF being lower risk – and the interest rate differential between the economies have made it a popular ‘carry trade’.
