USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Swissy drops below parity level

  • USD/CHF slipped below the parity level as the week started. It is now trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages.
  • However, USD/CHF is finding some support from the bullish trendline (dotted line) and a clear breakout below it and the 0.9950-0.9961 area would be needed to confirm a bearish bias.
  • The parity level becomes now the major resistance to the upside for bulls to overcome while bears will try to drive the market below 0.9950-0.9961 area, figure and June 21 open.
