Technical Analysis – USDCHF pushes higher, though downside risks remain

Posted on June 25, 2020 at 1:30 pm GMT

USDCHF climbed above the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) in attempts to boost positive momentum in an already prevailing negative structure. The falling 100- and 200-period SMAs support the negative picture while the 50-period SMA suggests the pair may drag on to challenge the short-term descending line drawn from May 27. The short-term oscillators reflect conflicting signals of directional momentum. The MACD has moved above its red signal line in the negative region and up to the zero mark, while [..]

Technical Analysis – USDCHF bears may lose their nerve in short-term

Posted on June 18, 2020 at 8:00 am GMT

USDCHF has been consolidating inside the 0.9433-0.9550 area over the past week, not far from the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels of the upleg with a low at 0.9191 and a top at 0.9900. With the MACD easing negative momentum in the bearish area and the flat RSI refusing to return to its 30 oversold mark, the pair could see a more encouraging course in the short-term. Note that a long-legged bullish doji has been created below the lower Bollinger [..]

Technical Analysis – USDCHF rebounds, but downtrend still in play

Posted on June 17, 2020 at 1:34 pm GMT

USDCHF recovered somewhat after touching a three-month low of 0.9375, but the rebound has been capped by the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) on the four-hour chart, and negative forces seem to have taken over again. The broader picture is still bearish, with the pattern of lower highs and lower lows not broken by the latest rebound. Momentum oscillators like the RSI and the MACD are both near their neutral levels, not revealing much about the next directional wave. If [..]

Technical Analysis – USDCHF set for a painful weekly close; enters oversold zone

Posted on June 11, 2020 at 10:22 am GMT

USDCHF is set to close deep in the red sea this week following the sharp pullback off the 0.9625 level. The bears are currently ready to pierce the 0.9400 number and open the way towards the 0.9320 support, but some caution should be warranted as the RSI is entering the oversold area, suggesting that negative momentum could soon lose strength. In case the downfall stretches below 0.9320, all attention would shift to 0.9258, where the pair failed to close lower [..]

Technical Analysis – USDCHF retests 3-month trough; neutral in near term

Posted on June 4, 2020 at 1:35 pm GMT

USDCHF faced a sharp selling interest over the last few hours, flirting with the 0.9590 support level. This move is suggesting more losses, confirmed by the RSI, which is heading south below the 50 leveld. Moreover, the red Tenkan-sen line fell beneath the blue Kijun-sen line and the price is holding well below the 20- and 40-period simple moving averages (SMAs). Yet, the stochastic is hovering in the oversold, signaling that any weakness could be short-lived. Stronger downside pressures could [..]
