The USD/CHF pair is trading dangerously close to the bearish trendline resistance, as bearish pressure continues to tighten. The pair is experiencing strong selling pressure from the USD side, resulting in a bearish outlook for the next few sessions.
From the technical perspective, the pair is trading close to the 0.8900 mark and struggling to hold on as resistance develops around the bearish trendline. This resistance has been in place since late February and is currently keeping a lid on any major uptrends. The support line is located at 0.8850, which will be the line of defense for the pair.
On the other hand, the relative strength index (RSI) is trading below the 50 mark, reinforcing the bearish outlook. The stochastics oscillator is also indicating a bearish momentum and is currently trading in the oversold region. Similarly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is generating bearish signals, as it continues to trend below the zero line.
In conclusion, the USD/CHF pair is trading dangerously close to the bearish trendline resistance. With the RSI, stochastics oscillator, and the MACD all pointing to a bearish direction, the pair could be set for more losses in the near term. Traders should watch for a break and a daily close below the resistance line. A retest of the0.8850 level of support could be in the cards once the trendline is breached.
