USD/CHF Price Forecast: Rebound above 0.9000 amid signs of potential gains

- USD/CHF rebounds from 50-day SMA and support trendline, indicating potential reversal.
- For sustained recovery, pair needs to break January 23 high of 0.9108, targeting mid-January peak at 0.9153.
- A drop below 0.9000 could trigger further declines to trendline support at 0.8990 and 50-day SMA at 0.8982.
The USD/CHF recovers some ground after posting 0.45% losses on Monday amid broad US Dollar weakness. Although the pair tested the confluence of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a support trendline drawn from October 2024's lows touched at 0.8982, buyers moved in and pushed spot prices above the 0.9000 figure, gaining over 0.26% on Tuesday.
USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The daily chart suggests the USD/CHF could be forming a reversal pattern, that it could open the door for further upside. However key resistance levels must be surpassed, if bulls are going to test year-to-date (YTD) highs reached January 13 at 0.9201.
If USD/CHF clears the January 23 daily high at 0.9108, it could open the door to test the January 17 cycle high at 0.9153. On the other hand, if sellers stepped in and achieve a daily close below 0.9000, the first support would be the trendline drawn from last October's low passing near 0.8990 - 0.9000. A breach of the latter will expose the 50-day SMA at 0.8982, followed by the November 22 swing high at 0.8957.

Swiss Franc FAQs
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is Switzerland's official currency. It is among the top ten most traded currencies globally, reaching volumes that well exceed the size of the Swiss economy. Its value is determined by the broad market sentiment, the country's economic health or action taken by the Swiss National Bank (SNB), among other factors. Between 2011 and 2015, the Swiss Franc was pegged to the Euro (EUR). The peg was abruptly removed, resulting in a more than 20% increase in the Franc's value, causing a turmoil in markets. Even though the peg isn't in force anymore, CHF fortunes tend to be highly correlated with the Euro ones due to the high dependency of the Swiss economy on the neighboring Eurozone.
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is considered a safe-haven asset, or a currency that investors tend to buy in times of market stress. This is due to the perceived status of Switzerland in the world: a stable economy, a strong export sector, big central bank reserves or a longstanding political stance towards neutrality in global conflicts make the country's currency a good choice for investors fleeing from risks. Turbulent times are likely to strengthen CHF value against other currencies that are seen as more risky to invest in.
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) meets four times a year - once every quarter, less than other major central banks - to decide on monetary policy. The bank aims for an annual inflation rate of less than 2%. When inflation is above target or forecasted to be above target in the foreseeable future, the bank will attempt to tame price growth by raising its policy rate. Higher interest rates are generally positive for the Swiss Franc (CHF) as they lead to higher yields, making the country a more attractive place for investors. On the contrary, lower interest rates tend to weaken CHF.
Macroeconomic data releases in Switzerland are key to assessing the state of the economy and can impact the Swiss Franc's (CHF) valuation. The Swiss economy is broadly stable, but any sudden change in economic growth, inflation, current account or the central bank's currency reserves have the potential to trigger moves in CHF. Generally, high economic growth, low unemployment and high confidence are good for CHF. Conversely, if economic data points to weakening momentum, CHF is likely to depreciate.
As a small and open economy, Switzerland is heavily dependent on the health of the neighboring Eurozone economies. The broader European Union is Switzerland's main economic partner and a key political ally, so macroeconomic and monetary policy stability in the Eurozone is essential for Switzerland and, thus, for the Swiss Franc (CHF). With such dependency, some models suggest that the correlation between the fortunes of the Euro (EUR) and the CHF is more than 90%, or close to perfect.
