What can we expect from USDCHF for the new week and what happened on Friday?

USDCHF on Friday rose 0.13% to 0.91. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in overbought zone. For the week ending 2024-04-26, the pair rose 0.41% or 37.5 pips higher.

Looking ahead, USDCHF looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 0.91.

For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 0.92 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 0.91. On the downside, we are looking at week low 0.91 or 0.91 (WS1) as immediate support level. USDCHF need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 0.92 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.

For the month of April, USDCHF is up by 1.37% or 123 pips higher.
