USD/CHF Technical Analysis: USD/CHF eyeing the parity level ahead of US NFP

  • USD/CHF is trading up for the third consecutive day as the bulls managed to create a bullish reversal near the 0.9870 level.
  • USD/CHF bulls are now trying to break through the 0.9950-0.9960 area as the gap between the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages is widening, suggesting building bullish momentum.  A breakout above the 0.9970 July 27 high, would be considered very bullish as it would open the gates to challenge the parity level and beyond.
  • Market participants will pay close attention to the US Nonfarm Payrolls and the Average Hourly Earnings scheduled on Friday at 12:30 GMT. The news can greatly affect USD-denominated currency pairs.
