USD/CHF Price action
At the beginning of the first full week in March, the USD/CHF keeps a bearish tone but faces solid support at the confluence of moving averages. The 20 and 50-day EMA rest at 0.9313 and 0.9307, respectively, areas that are the first lines of defense for USD/CHF’s bulls. Break below would expose the 0.9300 psychological price level, ahead of a one-month-old upslope support trendline at 0.9270.
Even though the USD/CHF’s bias is bearish, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains bullish but aims lower. If the RSI turns bearish, that will exacerbate an acceleration of the downtrend and put into play the YTD low at 0.9059.
