As a result, USD/CHF may threaten the descending channel from earlier this year, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) may show the bullish momentum gathering pace as it climbs to its highest level since February.
With that said, the bullish price series in USD/CHF may persist as there appears to be a shift in US Dollar sentiment, but the exchange rate may track the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (0.8529) should it continue to hold below the moving average.

- USD/CHF may threaten the descending channel from earlier this year as it climbs to a fresh monthly high (0.8476), with a break/close above the 0.8550 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to 0.8590 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) zone raising the scope for a move towards 0.8700 (61.8% Fibonacci extension).
- Next area of interest comes in around 0.8770 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 0.8800 (50% Fibonacci extension), but USD/CHF may track the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (0.8530) should it struggle to push above the moving average.
- Need a move below 0.8360 (100% Fibonacci extension) for USD/CHF to threaten the bullish price series carried over from last week, with a breach below the monthly low (0.8186) bringing 0.8080 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) on the radar.
