The Swiss Franc (CHF) consolidates right below 0.7870 against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday. The pair retreated from the 0.7900 area over the previous two days, but remains steady within the weekly range, with investors wary of taking risks, amid confusing messages from the Middle East.
The Iran-US peace deal seems stalled, amid divergences in the nuclear issue and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Markets, however, cling to hopes of a negotiated end of the conflict, as Iranian authorities revise the latest peace proposal submitted by the US. On Thursday, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed that there are “good signs” in the peace process, which contributed to support a moderate optimism.
Technical Analysis: Bullish momentum is starting to fade
USD/CHF trades at 0.7869, holding a capped tone after failing to find acceptance above 0.7900 earlier this week. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 50 signals flat momentum, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains slightly negative, which together hint that bulls have lost steam.
On the topside, the resistance area between 0.7920 and 0.7930 (April 8, 13, and 29 highs) should give way in order to clear the path towards the 0.8000 psychological level and the early April highs, around 0.8015.
A confirmation below May 18 lows at 0.7840, and the broken trendline, which is now lying in the area of 0.7825, on the contrary, is likely to give fresh hopes for bears, to retest May's bottom, at the 0.7765 area
