- USD/CHF trades near 14-year lows after breaking below 0.7933; next key support lies at 0.7900.
- RSI approaches oversold but remains above extreme levels, signaling sustained bearish pressure.
- Below 0.7900 exposes 0.7710 (Sept 2011 low); resistance seen at 0.8038 and 0.8100 if recovery begins.
The Swiss Franc (CHF) surges against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, trading at almost 14-year highs, near levels last seen in September 2011. At the time of writing, the USD/CHF plummeted to 0.7933, after hitting a multi-year low of 0.7929, down over 0.59%.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF has fallen over the last six trading days, poised to test the 0.7900 figure in the short term. Bears continued to exert downward pressure on the pair, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which edges toward oversold territory but remains above the 20 mark, considered the most extreme.
If the USD/CHF drops below 0.7900, it clears the path to test the September 2011 lows of 0.7710. Once surpassed, look for a test of the August 2011 monthly low of 0.7066.
On the flip side, if buyers regain 0.8000, this opens the door for a recovery. The first resistance zone would be the April 21 low, now turned resistance, at 0.8038, followed by 0.8050. On further strength, the next supply area will be 0.8100, followed by the 50-day SMA at 0.8217.
