The USD/CHF pair advances for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, up by nearly 0.45% after bouncing off the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), slightly above the 0.7900 figure. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 0.7915 as the US Dollar (USD) remains boosted by geopolitical uncertainty.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Recently, USD/CHF has been trading sideways due to the lack of a clear catalyst amid the Middle East war. Still, over the last two days, buyers have been pressing towards clearing the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7946, a key resistance level on the buyers’ path towards 0.8000.
Momentum confirms that bulls are in charge, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above its 50-neutral level and heading towards overbought territory.
With that said, USD/CHF needs to surpass the key resistance level at 0.7946. If buyers reclaim 0.8000, it opens the door to challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of 0.8040. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the November 5 swing high at 0.8124.
