Swiss Franc Forecast: USD/CHF Bulls Push for Trend Reversal

Swiss Franc Technical Forecast: USD/CHF Weekly Trade Levels

• USD/CHF has rebounded sharply after defending a major support zone at the May lows.
• Rally has extended more than 1.1% off the late-May low as the recovery attempt gains traction.
• Price remains in consolidation within May range- breakout to offer guidance.
• Key resistance levels remain overhead and must be cleared to confirm a larger breakout.
• Swiss Inflation, U.S. ADP Employment & Non-Farm Payrolls on tap
• Resistance 7927/35 (key), 8009, 8041– Support 7769/27 (key), 7730, 7669

USD/CHF is attempting to build on a sharp rebound from the May lows, with price action stabilizing above a critical support zone that has defined the recent range. The recovery has raised the prospect of a broader trend reversal, but the bulls still have important hurdles to clear before the shift can be confirmed. The focus heading into June is on a multi-week consolidation and the breakout may determine whether buyers can build enough strength to challenge key resistance. Battle lines drawn on the USD/CHF weekly technical chart heading into June.

Swiss Franc Price Chart – USD/CHF Weekly

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/CHF on TradingView

Technical Outlook: In last month’s Swiss Franc Technical Forecast we noted that USD/CHF was trading just above support and that from a trading standpoint, “losses would need to be limited to 7769 for the January uptrend to remain viable with a breach above 7940 needed to fuel the next leg of the rally.” USD/CHF registered an intraday low at 7762 the following week before rebounding sharply with the subsequent rally extending more than 1.8% off the May low.

Price has been consolidating within he May range and the focus is on this recovery into the open of June trade. Key weekly resistance remains at 7927/35- a region defined by the 2026 yearly open, the 61.8% retracement of the March decline, and the 52-week moving average. Note that the median line is just higher (currently near ~7960s) and a topside breach / close above this slope would be needed to suggest a more significant breakout is underway. Subsequent resistance objectives are eyed at the yearly high-week close (HWC) at 8009 and the January high at 8041.

Monthly open support comes in at 7810 with 7769/72 still critical. This level is defined by the 61.8% retracement of the yearly range and the 2011 low-week close (LWC). Losses below this pivot zone would threaten downtrend resumption with subsequent support seen at the yearly LWC at 7730 and the 2011 low close at 7669.

 

Bottom line: USD/CHF is consolidating within the May range just above support and the broader focus is on a breakout of the 7769-7935 range. From a trading standpoint, losses should be limited to the monthly open IF price is heading higher on this stretch with weekly close above 7935 needed to suggest a larger reversal is underway here.

Keep in mind we get the release of key U.S jobs data this week with ADP private sector employment on tap tomorrow and Non-Farm Payrolls Friday. Stay nimble into the monthly June opening range and watch the weekly closes here for guidance.
