US Dollar Forecast: USD/CHF Clears May Low

With that said, USD/CHF may continue to hold below the 50-Day SMA (0.8368) even though the Trump administration tries to avoid a trade war, but the recent selloff in the exchange rate may turn out to be temporary should it defend the rebound from the April low (0.8040).
USD/CHF Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; USD/CHF Price on TradingView
- USD/CHF carves a series of lower highs and lows following the failed attempt to push above 0.8360 (100% Fibonacci extension), with a move below 0.8080 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) raising the scope for a test of the April low (0.8040).
- Next area of interest comes in around 0.7810 (161.8% Fibonacci extension), and a move below 30 in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is likely to be accompanied by a further decline in the exchange rate like the price action from earlier this year.
- At the same time, failure to push/close below 0.8080 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) may keep USD/CHF within the April range, with a move above 0.8360 (100% Fibonacci extension) bringing the May high (0.8476) on the radar.
