The USD/CHF pair builds on this week's solid rebound from the 0.7900 mark and gains strong follow-through positive traction for the third consecutive day on Friday. The momentum lifts spot prices closer to the 0.8100 mark, or the highest since November 2025, during the first half of the European session, and is sponsored by a broadly firmer US Dollar (USD).
The USD Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against a basket of currencies, rallied to its highest level since May 2025 in the face of the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) hawkish tilt and the uncertainty over the next round of US-Iran negotiations. In fact, US Vice President JD Vance canceled his planned trip to Switzerland for talks with Iran. Adding to this, Israeli air strikes in Lebanon threaten to unravel the US-Iran deal, benefiting the safe-haven USD and supporting the USD/CHF pair.
This week's strong move up from the technically significant 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a subsequent move above the 0.8000 psychological mark, and the previous year-to-date top, touched in January, were seen as key triggers for bulls. Adding to this, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator stays in positive territory with a positive spread over its signal line, reinforcing the upside bias for the USD/CHF pair and backing the case for a further near-term appreciation.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) has climbed to the high-60s, hinting at firm bullish momentum and edging toward overbought territory. Hence, the immediate focus remains on whether bulls can sustain traction while keeping the USD/CHF pair comfortably above recent breakout levels, with the 0.7907 region—defined by the 200-day SMA—now acting as a key structural line in the sand on any deeper pullback.
A daily close back toward that moving average would signal waning momentum and expose a broader consolidation phase. However, continued strength above 0.8000 keeps the path open for further gains as long as momentum readings avoid a sharp reversal from overbought conditions.
