Technical Analysis – USDCHF tests 3-month low



  • USDCHF penetrates 200-day SMA to the downside

  • MACD and RSI extend bearish momentum

USDCHF plunged to a fresh three-month low of 0.8825, breaking the strong barrier of 0.8895, which overlaps with the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).

If the price extends the decline, the next support could be faced at the 0.8740 support level, before tumbling to 0.8550, taken from the troughs on January 31.

The technical oscillators are confirming the strong downside movement with the MACD strengthening its bearish momentum and the RSI standing near the 30 level.

In the case of a bullish correction and a rise above the 200-day SMA at 0.8895, the pair could re-challenge the 20-day SMA at 0.8980 ahead of the 0.9000 psychological number. Slightly higher, the 50-day SMA at 0.9050 may halt upside actions, remaining beneath the penetrated ascending trend line.

All in all, USDCHF continues to exhibit a bearish tendency in the short-term timeframe, especially after the drop beneath the 200-day SMA.
