USD/CHF Price Forecast: Keep a bearish vibe, crucial support level emerges near 0.8000

- USD/CHF strengthens to near 0.8050 in Monday's early European session.
- The negative outlook of the pair remains in play below the 100-day EMA, but further consolidation cannot be ruled out.
- Key support level to watch is 0.8000; first upside target is seen at 0.8125.
The USD/CHF pair attracts some buyers to around 0.8050 during the early European session on Monday, bolstered by a firmer US Dollar (USD). Nonetheless, the weaker-than-expected US July Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report increased the likelihood of two Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts, which might cap the upside for the pair.
According to the daily chart, the bearish outlook of the pair remains intact, with the price holding below the key 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, further consolidation looks favorable as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers around the midline. This suggests the neutral momentum in the near term.
The key support level for USD/CHF is located at the 0.8000 psychological figure. A breach of this level could see a drop to 0.7911, the low of July 23. Sustained trading below the mentioned level could expose 0.7885, the lower limit of the Bollinger Band.
On the other hand, the key resistance level for the pair emerges at 0.8125, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band. A decisive break above this level could pave the way to 0.8150, the high of July 31. The next upside barrier is seen at 0.8245, the 100-day EMA.

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.
