Highlights

USD/CHF trades at Fr. 0.7721, remaining below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, signaling persistent bearish pressure across all timeframes.
Momentum indicators including MACD (Strong Sell), ADX, RSI at 36, and CCI all confirm negative momentum with the pair considered oversold.
Projected five-session range is Fr. 0.7701–0.7728, with less than a 20% probability of sustained upside and bearish momentum likely to persist.

Bearish momentum confirmed as technical signals outpace rebound

According to Ichimoku, the nearest dynamic resistance is at the Kijun line near Fr. 0.7824, while support is reinforced by the recent lows within today’s range. Momentum indicators on the daily chart reflect a bearish setup: the MACD is on a 'Strong Sell' signal and ADX also confirms strong negative momentum. RSI stands at 36 in bearish territory, the Commodity Channel Index is in oversold territory, and the Stochastic RSI appears neutral. Bull/Bear Power stays negative and the Awesome Oscillator affirms the dominant bearish trend. The current price is near today’s upper range after moderate volatility and an intraday rebound, but momentum signals remain in conflict with the day’s upward move, hinting this upside could be corrective rather than a trend shift.

Sideways action expected as bearish bias limits upside risk

Looking over the coming five sessions, the anticipated range for USD/CHF is Fr. 0.7701 – 0.7728, which reflects the typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a sustained rise is low (under 20%), with strong bearish bias indicated by weekly and daily moving averages, MACD, ADX, and RSI. Baseline expectations suggest sideways trading inside the forecast corridor as bearish momentum persists without clear breakdown. On a bullish note, a move above Fr. 0.7728 could open a path to resistance near Fr. 0.7824, yet a drop below Fr. 0.7701 may accelerate the prevailing downtrend.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent selling pressure across all key timeframes for USD/CHF, confirmed by multiple technical indicators. He notes that the recent rebound appears corrective, not a true reversal, as bearish momentum dominates and price action remains capped by moving averages. The base case is for continued sideways-to-lower trading within the Fr. 0.7701 – 0.7728 band, with upside potential likely to be short-lived unless resistance is decisively broken. "Until USD/CHF sustains a move above Fr. 0.7728, I remain cautious and expect further downside risk to dominate."

Previously it was reported that USD/CHF is trading under sustained downside pressure, with the pair remaining below its 20-, 50-, and 200-period moving averages and facing immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun. Technical indicators, including a bearish MACD, strong ADX, and RSI at 41.9, confirm the prevailing bearish momentum, while support is aligned at session lows and sentiment remains negative absent oversold conditions.
