USD/CHF Technical Analysis: USD starting to lose steam below 0.9950 level as small head-and-shoulders is forming

  • USD/CHF is trading in a bull trend as the 50 and 100-period simple moving averages (SMA) are moving upward. The 100 SMA crossed above the 200 SMA which is considered a bullish clue known as golden cross.  
  • However, USD/CHF is currently stalling below the 0.9950 level as the market is forming a small head-and-shoulders pattern which can signal that a pullback can be imminent. The MACD indicator also started decelerating since early October.
  • Supports to the downside can be located near 0.9891 October 4 low and 0.9868 July 31 low. A strong bull breakout above 0.9950 should lead to an acceleration to the parity level.
