The US Dollar (USD) is trading practically flat against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Thursday, with the USD/CHF pair holding above the 0.7800 area for now, yet upside attempts are capped below Monday’s highs at 0.7830, as hopes of a resolution of the Middle East Conflict are weighing on the safe-haven Greenback.
US President Donald Trump boosted market sentiment on Wednesday, affirming that negotiations between the US and Iran are “productive and ongoing” and that a new round of talks is likely to start soon.
Beyond that, Trump also said that Israel and Lebanon will hold direct talks in an attempt to reach a peace deal that would lay the ground for a steady resolution of the Middle East conflict. Lebanese authorities, however, have not confirmed that news.
Technical Analysis
The USD/CHF's daily chart shows the pair in a bearish correction, following a 5-wave Elliot Wave bullish cycle. Technical indicators remain negative, although bearish momentum seems to have eased somewhat.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) leans toward the bearish side of neutral, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram remains in negative territory, together hinting that downside pressure still dominates despite the recent pause.
Elliot Wave cycles are often followed by A-B-C corrections, and the easing bearish pressure suggests that the pair might be ready for a pullback to the previous support area, now turned resistance, between April 8 and 10 lows in the 0.7855-0.7875 area, or even to the April 13 high, at 0.7834.
On the downside, below Tuesday's low, at 0.7790, the next targets are the March 10 low, at 0.7748, and the February 27 low, near 0.7670.
