USD/CHF Price Analysis: 200-DMA probes rebound from six-week-old support

  • USD/CHF consolidates the biggest daily fall in seven weeks between the key moving average, trend line.
  • Bearish MACD, lower highs since January keep sellers hopeful.

Having dropped the most since mid-January the previous day, USD/CHF prints mild gains around 0.9190 during Tuesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the Swiss currency pair bounces off an upward sloping trend line from January 13.

However, the 200-DMA and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of January’s upside challenges the immediate advance of the pair around 0.9185.

Also favoring the USD/CAD sellers are the bearish MACD signals and the pair’s lower highs marked since January 31.

Hence, odds of a pullback towards the stated support line, near 0.9170 by the press time, can’t be ruled out.

Though, a clear downside past-0.9170 won’t hesitate to challenge February’s low of 0.9170.

Alternatively, recovery moves beyond 0.9185 will aim for the 50% Fibo. level near 0.9215.

It’s worth noting that a jungle of resistances will test USD/CHF buyers between 0.915 and 0.9300, beyond which the upside momentum to January’s peak of 0.9343 will become imminent.
