USD/CHF extends gradual declines from the monthly top marked the last-Monday.
A descending trend line support, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement may offer intermediate rests during the downside.
0.9745/50 can act as a buffer resistance beyond 100-HMA.
USD/CHF remains under pressure while taking rounds to 0.9655, down 0.05% on a daily, amid the early trading session on Monday.
The pair currently tests 50% Fibonacci retracement of its upside from March 27 to April 06. However, a descending trend line from last-Monday, at 0.9685, followed by a 100-HMA level of 0.9693, restricts the pair’s recovery moves.
Should there be a clear upside past-0.9693, the pair can cross 0.9700 mark to aim for 0.9745/50 area comprising multiple lows/highs marked during early-April.

USD/CHF Price Analysis: Follows rising channel on H4 ahead of SNB
March 19, 2020USD/CHF stays positive near a three-week high.
The resistance line of an eight-day-old rising trend channel limits the immediate upside.
200-bar SMA offers immediate support, SNB in the spotlight.
USD/CHF pulls back from the resistance line of a short-term rising trend channel while taking rounds to 0.9695, up 0.16%, during the early Thursday.
In addition to the channel’s resistance, nearly overbought RSI conditions also challenge the pair’s further upside.
However, sellers will wait for the entry below 200-bar SMA level of 0.9650 while targeting 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of February 20 to March 09 fall, at 0.9590.
During the pair’s additional weakness past-0.9590, the said channel’s support line near 0.9490 will be the key to watch.

March 18, 2020USD/CHF slips from a two-week high.
61.8% Fibonacci retracement, 200-day EMA add to the resistances.
While extending its U-turn from 50-day EMA, USD/CHF drops 0.30% to 0.9583 ahead of the European session on Wednesday.
The pair currently declines towards 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of its fall from November 2019, at 0.9500. However, an upward sloping trend line since March 09, near 0.9470 now, could restrict further downside.
In a case where the bears dominate past-0.9470, 0.9400 and 0.9320 will offer intermediate halts to the pair’s southward trajectory towards the monthly low around 0.9180.
Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond 50-day EMA level of 0.9650 needs to overcome 61.8% of Fibonacci retracement, close to 0.9700, ahead of confronting 200-day EMA figures
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Below 100-bar SMA inside weekly rising channel
March 17, 2020USD/CHF holds onto recovery gains inside the short-term bullish technical pattern.
Key SMA, sluggish MACD question the buyers.
In addition to the current risk-reset, USD/CHF takes clues from the technical indicators while rising 0.26% to 0.9493 amid the initial trading session on Tuesday.
The pair recently bounced off the support-line of a one-week-old rising trend channel, which in turn pushes the quote towards a 100-bar SMA level of 0.9540.
However, the quote’s further upside beyond 0.9540 might find it difficult to sustain as 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the declines from early-February, at 0.9595, can question the buyers.
If at all the bulls manage to conquer 0.9600 round-figure, 200-bar SMA and the resistance line of the said channel around 0.9655 could

As a result, buyers can aim for further upside beyond a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.9500.
In doing so, 50% of Fibonacci retracement and January month’s low, respectively near 0.9600 and 0.9615, can please the bulls.
During the pullback, 0.9320 can act as additional support below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.9378.
However, a daily

March 9, 2020USD/CHF remains on the back foot despite recovering off-late.
61.8% of Fibonacci retracement will be on the sellers’ radars.
Buyers are less likely to take the risk unless revisiting early-2020 levels.
USD/CHF registers 1.36% loss to 0.9260 while heading into the European open on Monday. The pair earlier dropped below the longer-term support line, stretched from May 2015, but fails to stay beneath the same off-late.
As a result, the bears will await a sustained fall below the 0.9260/55 support-zone to aim for 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 2015-16 upside, at 0.9115.
During the quote’s additional downside below 0.9115, May 2015 low near 0.9070 and 0.9000 will lure the bears.

USD/CHF recovers 0.11% from the lowest since September 2018 amid the pre-Europe session on Wednesday. With the RSI conditions oversold, the quote seems to extend the pullback towards the lows marked during January and February months of the current year. However, it’s further is less likely considering bearish MACD.
If at all the buyers refrain to respect MACD and dominate past-0.9615 resistance, a short-term falling trend line from February 21, currently at 0.9700, will be important.
It should, however, be noted that the pair’s sustained
USD/CHF Price Analysis: 17-week-old falling trendline, 61.8 percent Fibonacci on bears’ radar
March 2, 2020USD/CHF remains on the back foot near the multi-week low.

200-week SMA acts as the key upside barrier.
Despite bouncing off September 2018 lows, USD/CHF stays 0.11% down while trading around 0.9640 during early Monday. Also portraying the pair’s weakness are bearish conditions of MACD.
That said, a downward sloping trend line since early October 2019, at 0.9600 now, acts as the immediate support.
Also challenging the sellers is 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s rise from February 2018 to April 2019, at 0.9585.
In a case where the bears manage to conquer 0.9585 on a weekly closing basis, September 2018 bottom surrounding 0.9540 will return to the charts.

Bearish MACD, failures to carry the latest recovery keep sellers hopeful, 50-day SMA acts as near-term key support.
200-day SMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement act as near-term key resistances.
USD/CHF remains on the back foot around 0.9740, down 0.25%, during the initial trading session on Thursday. That said, the quote fails to carry the previous day’s recovery gains.
Even so, a 50-day SMA level of 0.9737 acts as the near-term key support stopping the sellers despite bearish MACD.
Should prices provide a daily closing below 0.9737, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s declines from November 2019 to January 2020, at 0.9709, can flash on the chart.

Bearish candlestick formation, sustained trading below 200-day SMA favor further selling.
Bullish MACD, 50-day SMA question the bears.
USD/CHF registers fewer moves while trading around 0.9790 during the pre-European session on Tuesday. The daily chart forms a bearish candlestick pattern but bullish MACD and 50-day SMA could limit further declines.
That said, the bears will be more powerful to aim for 0.9700 if breaking a 50-day SMA level of 0.9740 on a daily closing basis.
During the quote’s further declines below 0.9700, the month-start top near 0.9670 and the January month bottom surrounding 0.9612 can offer intermediate halts to 0.9600 round-figure.

200-day EMA, 61.8% Fibonacci challenge buyers amid bullish MACD.
USD/CHF registers 0.21% gains while taking the bids around 0.9805 during the early Monday. The pair recently reversed from 21/50-day EMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of October 2019 to January 2020 declines. Also supporting the pullback are bullish signals from MACD.

Should there be a sustained run-up beyond 0.9845, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.9870 and 0.9900 will be on the bulls’ radars.

In a case where the USD/CHF prices stay strong beyond 0.9940, chances of witnessing the 1.0000 mark on the chart can’t be ruled out.

Bearish MACD favors further weakness in the quote.

Also increasing the odds for the pair’s further downside below the key 0.9750 support are bearish MACD signals, which in turn could drag the quote to January 22 high near 0.9730.

Overbought RSI conditions increase the odds of a pullback.

In doing so, an ascending trend line since Monday, at 0.9700, will be on their radars.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Sellers hopeful on Doji formation below monthly trendline
January 10, 2020USD/CHF portrays buyers’ exhaustion despite the absence of losses since Tuesday.
December month low will be the key to watch.
USD/CHF trades mostly unchanged around 0.9730 while heading into the European session on Friday. The pair formed a Doji candlestick on the daily (D1) chart by Thursday’s end after recovering for the two consecutive prior days.
Considering the candlestick formation indicating the reversal of the previous trend, coupled with the pair’s sustained trading below a downward sloping trend line since December 06, the pair’s further recovery is doubtful.
As a result, sellers will look for entry below Thursday’s low of 0.9711 while targeting 0.9675 and the 2019-end low of 0.9645.
During the quote’s extended downpour beneath 0.9645, 0.9600 and

USD/CHF bounces off the intra-day low of 0.9665 to 0.9702 while heading into the European session on Wednesday. The pair benefits from the absence of immediate US-Iran war after Tehran hit US bases in Iraq.
Even so, the pair stays well below the descending trend line since November 29, at 0.9730, which limits the near-term advances.
Should the pair manages to clear 0.9730, it can rise to December 19 low near 0.9770. However, a 200-bar SMA level around 0.9830 could restrict the pair’s further advances.
In a case where the bulls dominate past-0.9830, 0.9920 and November month high of 1.0024 will be on their radars.

The falling channel, 200-HMA will challenge the Bullish MACD.
The current month top will lure the buyers during further upside.
The USD/CHF pair’s latest recovery seems to struggle around 0.9690 during early Tuesday. A short-term falling trend channel and prices below 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) seem to question the recently bullish MACD.
As a result, buyers will look for a clear break of 200-HMA level of 0.9722 ahead of targeting the month’s top near 0.9745. It’s worth mentioning that the channel’s resistance-line, at 0.9700, can become an immediate upside barrier.
