• USD/CHF faces resistance at 0.9000 and falls for the first time in three days.

USD/CHF Price Action

From a technical perspective, the USD/CHF daily chart portrays the major as downward biased, losing almost 3% annually. However, last Friday, the USD/CHF pair snapped three days of straight losses, forming a bullish piercing pattern that failed to extend above the psychological 0.9000 figure. Even though the USD/CHF is in a pullback, the Rate of Change (RoC) suggests that buyers are outpacing sellers, which could put into play a challenge of the 0.9000 figure.

If USD/CHF cracks the latter, that will expose the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.9065, followed by the 0.9100 mark. Once cleared, the USD/CHF could rally towards the 50-day EMA at 0.9164.

Conversely, a bearish continuation will resume once the USD/CHF breaks below 0.8921. A breach of the latter will expose the 0.8900 figure, followed by the YTD low at 0.8859.
