- USD/CHF up 0.26% to 0.8077 after US PPI approaches 3.5%.
- Pair rebounds from 20/50-day SMA confluence at 0.8042/50, hitting 0.8092 daily high.
- RSI signals bullish momentum; break above 0.8100 could target 0.8171, then 0.8200.
- Key support at 0.8042; a break lower opens the door to 0.8000.
The USD/CHF rises during the North American session as recent economic data from the States prompted investors to reduce bets that the Fed would cut rates by 50 bps, as stated by the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday. At the time of writing, the pair traded at 0.8077, up 0.26%.
On Thursday, Bessent backpedaled and said that it is the Fed’s job to set interest rates. Meanwhile, traders who piled in for a big size cut scrambled to get out of those positions as US PPI approached the 3.5% figure.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The USD/CHF rebounded at around the confluence of the 20/50-day SMA at around 0.8042/50, pushing the pair to print a high of 0.8092 before retreating to the current exchange rates.
Momentum remains bullish as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but from a price action perspective, buyers must claim the August 1 high of 0.8171 before the uptrend resumes.
If USD/CHF rises past 0.8100, the next resistance would be 0.8171, followed by 0.8200. Conversely, if the pair tumbles below 0.8042, expect a drop towards the 0.8000 figure.
