The USD/CHF pair is near the 0.8100 level as traders are waiting for US inflation data. The pair came back from losses during Wednesday’s European session but is still within its weekly range.
People are being careful before the US Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index. These reports are set for Thursday and Friday. They could give hints about the Federal Reserves next move and affect the US Dollar.
USD/CHF Holds Near 0.8100
USD/CHF is not moving much near 0.8100 as traders do not want to take positions before the inflation data.
The US Dollar is getting some help from the idea that the Federal Reserve might raise rates in September. Higher energy prices and issues in parts of the world have also made people worry about inflation. This is another reason the US Dollar is getting support.
The pair has not gone clearly above its recent range. That means traders are still looking at the coming news.
US Inflation Data in Focus
The US PPI and CPI reports are going to be the things that move USD/CHF in the next few days.
If the inflation numbers are higher than expected that could make people think the Federal Reserve will make rules tighter. That situation could help the US Dollar. Push USD/CHF up.
If the numbers are lower that could make people think the Federal Reserve will not raise rates. That might put pressure on the US Dollar. In that case USD/CHF could see selling.
Technical Outlook Remains Constructive
The technical view is still a little positive while USD/CHF stays above support levels.
The pair is above the 100-day Simple Moving Average which’s at about 0.8004. It is also helped by a Fibonacci area between 0.8028 and 0.8077.
The Relative Strength Index is close to 50 which shows that the movement is neutral. The MACD has turned a positive which means the pressure to go up is still there even though the speed has gone down a bit.
Key Support Levels
The first main support area is around 0.8077, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
If USD/CHF goes below that traders can watch 0.8053 and 0.8028 as the support areas. If it goes down more the 100-day SMA at 0.8004 will be important.
Below that the 0.7994 level and the previous low near 0.7950 could become important.
Resistance Levels to Watch
On the up side the first resistance is at 0.8107, which’s the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement.
If the pair stays above that the bullish view could get stronger. This might lead the pair to go toward the high at 0.8156.
For those who want to buy a clear move above 0.8156 would show signs that the pair is preparing to go up again.
USD/CHF Forecast
The short-term view for USD/CHF is still positive long as the pair stays above the important support areas. However the US inflation reports coming up could change what people think quickly.
Traders are watching to see if the data supports the idea that the Federal Reserve will make rules tighter. Strong inflation would help the US Dollar while weak numbers would increase selling.
The way the pair reacts at 0.8107 is also important. A move above that could encourage buyers while not going higher could keep USD/CHF stuck in a range.
Key Levels
Level Importance
0.8156 Major resistance
0.8107 Initial resistance
0.8077 support
0.8053 Key support
0.8028 Fibonacci support
0.8004 100-day SMA
0.7950 Previous swing support
Final Outlook
USD/CHF is close to 0.8100 as traders wait for important US inflation numbers. The pairs structure is still positive above the 0.8004 area and the idea of a Federal Reserve rate hike is helping the US Dollar.
The main thing now is the US PPI and CPI data. Strong inflation could help USD/CHF. Allow it to go toward 0.8107 and 0.8156. If the numbers are weak that could make the US Dollar weaker. Push the pair back toward the main support levels. For now traders are likely to stay careful until the inflation data gives a signal, about what the Federal Reserve will do.
