Posted on December 10, 2020 at 2:38 pm GMT

USDCHF is weighing down on the lower Bollinger band located at the more than 5½-year low of 0.8870. The diving simple moving averages (SMAs) and their dictating bearish tone may boost risks to the downside.

In the bearish territory, the MACD’s climb above its red trigger line looks to be easing a bit, while the RSI is rising in the bearish zone. Furthermore, the [..]

The pair has been in a strong descending movement since March 20, with no clear upside retracement in the daily timeframe. The RSI is approaching the oversold territory, strengthening its bearish momentum, while the MACD is extending its negative structure beneath its trigger and zero lines.

Technical Analysis – USDCHF range bound; directional momentum lost

Posted on November 12, 2020 at 4:19 pm GMT

USDCHF is currently stuck between the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs) after paring last week’s losses, which pushed the price towards a fresh 69-month low of 0.8981. The price’s consolidating demeanour is endorsed by the flattening 50-day SMA, while the downward sloping 100- and 200-day SMAs are commanding a bearish bias.

Technical Analysis – USDCHF rebounds off 7-week low; negative in medium term

Posted on October 22, 2020 at 12:55 pm GMT

USDCHF has reversed from the seven-week low of 0.9029 after the strong bearish move since September 25. Further backing this short-term view are the Ichimoku lines and the upward slopes on the MACD oscillator which holds above its trigger line in the negative zone. However, for now the RSI and the 20- and 40-period simple moving averages (SMAs) are reflecting contradicting signals as all of them are pointing downwards. If buying interest picks up, early tough resistance could occur at [..]
