USD/CHF Technical Analysis
The USDCHF technical analysis of the price chart on 1-hour timeframe shows USDCHF,H1 is retracing higher to test the 200-period moving average MA(200) after hitting five-week low yesterday. We believe the bullish movement will continue after the price breaches above the upper bound of the Donchian channel at 0.81877. A level above this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to buy. The stop loss can be placed below 0.81603. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal low indicator, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of Forex - USD/CHF
Switzerland’s factory activity contraction worsened in May. Will the USDCHF price rebound?
Switzerland’s factory activity contraction deepened in May: the Swiss Procure.ch Manufacturing PMI dropped to 42.1 in May from 45.8 in April, when a rise to 46.5 was forecast. Readings above 50.0 indicate industry expansion, below indicate contraction. The index remained contractionary for the twenty ninth month and marked the lowest reading since December 2023. Subindexes for production, backlog of orders, purchasing volumes, and employment all declined in uncertainty surrounding steep and fast-changing US tariff levies. Declining Swiss manufacturing is bearish for Swiss franc and bullish for the USDCHF currency pair.
