USD/CHF Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Price action turned bullish since last Friday, after USD/CHF cleared the 200-day SMA at 0.7903, opening the door to further upside. Also, an inverted ‘head-and-shoulders’ chart pattern, formed, which sets the stage for further gains.
Momentum as measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) popped above the 60 region, bullish and with room before turning overbought. That said, the USD/CHF could test the 0.8000 level in the near term.
If the pair clears the 0.8000 mark, the next resistance would be the January 15 high at 0.8040. On further strength, the next stop would be the ‘head-and-shoulders’ measured objective near 0.8045-0.8050, ahead of the November 25 daily high of 0.8102.
On the flip side, the USD/CHF could edge lower if sellers drive price action below the 200-day SMA, opening the door to a challenge of 0.7800.

The 10-year US Treasury yield has reached a 24-year high, quietly reshaping the landscape of the US stock market. The S&P 500 forward price-to-earnings ratio has compressed from 22.2 times at the beginning of the year to 19.3 times, marking a “three-tier decline in valuation.” Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 Index is approaching technical correction territory, while Mag 7 stocks like Microsoft and Nvidia continue to support the broader market with the AI narrative and strong earnings.

Has the "only buyer" of Korean stocks left early?
Over the past two months, Samsung and SK Hynix have alone absorbed over $25 billion in sell pressure.

More dangerously, Samsung's Q3 results missed expectations for both revenue and profit. Coupled with ETF rebalancing and options expiry, a "liquidity vacuum" has become a reality, leaving the question of who will step in as the biggest mystery.
