Highlights

USD/CHF trades at Fr0.7914, below major moving averages (MA-20 Fr0.7916, MA-50 Fr0.7982, MA-200 Fr0.8002), confirming sustained bearish momentum.
Bearish signals dominate with daily and weekly RSI below 50, D1 MACD showing strong selling, and key weekly technicals pointing to more than 80% downside risk.
Expected price range for the next five sessions is Fr0.7840–Fr0.7940, with a sideways drift likely unless Fr0.7840 breaks to open deeper declines.

Technical barriers cap gains as bearish momentum dominates

The next key dynamic resistance is near the MA-20 and Ichimoku Kijun at Fr0.7938, with no golden or death cross signals in play. Momentum indicators remain bearish: D1 MACD signals strong selling, the ADX on both daily and weekly charts shows weak or downward trends, and RSI is below 50 on both timeframes. The Stoch RSI indicates overbought conditions, suggesting potential for a near-term corrective pullback. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive and labeled as 'Buy' on the daily chart, reflecting some buyer strength within the session, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not confirm a short-term trend.

Further downside likely amid persistent weekly bearish signals

Over the next five trading days, USD/CHF is expected to fluctuate between Fr0.7840 and Fr0.7940, capturing the typical volatility band relative to current levels. Since all major weekly indicators (RSI, MACD, ADX, MA-50) point to underlying bearishness, the likelihood of a further decline remains high, with an upward move from current levels considered less probable. The baseline scenario favors ongoing sideways movement in a narrow corridor. However, a bullish breakout above Fr0.7940 – 0.7950 could spark a squeeze higher toward new resistance, while a drop below Fr0.7840 would likely deepen downside momentum toward lower support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees USD/CHF weighed down by persistent bearish technical signals. The pair remains trapped below critical moving averages, with no momentum shift in sight. He believes a further decline is likely unless a clear breakout occurs above Fr0.7940. "Base case is continued sideways trading or further weakness — I remain defensive until bulls regain control above resistance."

Previously it was reported that USD/CHF is showing mild short-term bullishness above its 20-day moving average, but remains capped below key medium- and long-term moving averages, reflecting a broader bearish trend. Technical indicators are mixed, with oscillators diverging and momentum gauges pointing to limited upside potential, favoring continued sideways trading within established support and resistance levels.
