Technical Analysis – USDCHF plunges to 6-month low
USDCHF loses 2% in four days
20- and 200-day SMAs ready for death cross
Momentum oscillators keep bearish momentum
USDCHF has been in an aggressive selling interest since July 30, after the pullback off the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), losing more than 2%. The pair tumbled to a fresh six-month low near the 0.8700 psychological level, with the technical oscillators diving into an oversold area.
The stochastic is sliding beneath the 20 level, while the RSI is falling below the 30 level. Also, the 20- and the 200-day SMA are ready for a death cross in the short-term view.
A steeper deceleration could lead the market to the next support area of 0.8550, registered back on February 2. Even lower, the 0.8455 barricade is waiting for a potential rebound.
On the other hand, with a climb above the 0.8730 inside swing low, the pair could rechallenge the 0.8825 resistance ahead of the 20- and 200-day SMAs at 0.8870. Slightly higher, the 50-day SMA at 0.8930 and the short-term downtrend line at 0.8950 may act as strong resistance lines.
In a nutshell, USDCHF has been in a freefall over the last four daily sessions, endorsing a bearish outlook in the short-term picture.Related Assets
