USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook
After forming a ‘bearish-harami’ candlestick chart pattern, the USD/CHF resumed its downtrend last Thursday, but Monday’s price action forming a ‘gravestone-doji’ portrays traders’ indecision about extending its losses toward last week’s low of 0.8699.
If USD/CHF drops below the latter, the pair might extend its losses toward the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8554, threatening to extend its plunge toward the 0.8500 figure. Conversely, if USD/CHF buyers reclaim the 20-day EMA, that could pave the way for further upside.
First resistance would emerge at the 0.8800 figure. Once buyers conquer that level, up next would be the May 4 low-turned resistance at 0.8819, followed by the 0.8900 mark.
