The US Dollar (USD) trades higher for the third consecutive day against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Thursday, as the lack of progress in the US-Iran peace process dampens investors’ appetite for risk. The US Dollar is hovering above last week’s trading range at 0.7840, although upside attempts are limited below 0.7860 for now.

The Middle East conflict keeps driving markets, and the US-Iran standoff is keeping investors on edge, providing moderate support to the safe-haven US Dollar. Iranian forces have seized at least two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and the US military redirected three Iranian vessels in the Indian Ocean in a tit-for-tat dynamic that is adding pressure on an already fragile ceasefire.

Technical Analysis

From a technical perspective, the USD/CHF near-term trend remains bearish, but recent price action hints at a potential bullish correction. The pair has pierced the neckline of a double bottom pattern at the 0.7840 area, and technical indicators show growing bullish momentum.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the 4-hour chart is hovering just below 60, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) keeps crawling above the zero level. So far, however, these figures hint at an easing downside pressure, rather than a clear bullish reversal.

On the topside, the pair might find resistance at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the April decline, near 0.7870. Further up, a key resistance area lies at the confluence of the downtrend resistance line and April 8 and 13 highs, around 0.7930.

A pullback below the April 16 and 19 highs at 0.7840, on the contrary, would ease the incipient bullish momentum and bring the April 17 and 20 lows at 0.7775 back into focus.
