USD/CHF clashes with the 50-day Moving Average (DMA) at 0.8808 and retraces, and prints a daily low of 0.8785 amid a choppy trading session as investors brace for the Jackson Hole Symposium, where the US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell remarks, are awaited. The USD/CHF is trading at 0.8788, down 0.38%.
The pair remains trending steadily to the upside, but the 50-DMA and its confluence with the 0.8800 figure, exacerbated a dip toward the 0.8780s region. If USD/CHF price action continues to register successive series of higher highs and lows, USD/CHF buyers could reclaim the 50-DMA in the near term and target the June 16 daily low turned resistance at 0.8901. A decisive break would expose the 0.9000 figure.
Conversely, if USD/CHF extends its losses and achieves a daily close below 0.8800, the USD/CHF would dive towards the 2014 swing low of 0.8699, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) low of 0.8552.
