FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

EUR/CHF has recently risen above 0.9350 and 0.94, Société Generale FX analysts note.

Daily MACD is attempting across above its trigger line

EUR/CHF has recently carved out a higher trough near 0.9350 than the one achieved in August at 0.9210. This denotes downward momentum is receding.

Daily MACD is within negative territory but is attempting across above its trigger line. A brief rebound towards 0.9490, the 61.8% retracement of recent pullback can’t be ruled out.

The 200-DMA near 0.9580/0.9600 will be a crucial resistance zone near term. In the event the pair breaches 0.9350, there would be risk of a deeper pullback.
