Seller momentum persists as price tests lower range

Downside risk elevated as rangebound outlook prevails
Over the next two to three trading days, USD/CHF is expected to trade between Fr.0.8157 and Fr.0.8239, remaining rangebound within this volatility band. The probability of a move to the upside is very low, while the likelihood of a further decline is high under current conditions. A sustained break above Fr.0.8229 would open a bullish scenario, whereas a drop below Fr.0.8157 support would confirm renewed downside momentum.
Earlier, analysts noted that USD/CHF was experiencing persistent short- to medium-term downside pressure amid mixed momentum signals and ongoing bearish risks. The current analysis reinforces this view, with technicals still pointing to a bearish scenario and the risk of further declines should support at Fr.0.8157 be breached in the near term.
