USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Daily triangle compression keeps Swissy below parity level
- USD/CHF is starting the week by trading inside last Friday’s range as the pair keeps compressing in a triangle pattern on the daily chart.
- USD/CHF is trading above its main daily simple moving averages (50, 100 and 200-period) suggesting that the main trend keeps a bullish bias for the time being. In the short-term, the 0.9920 and 0.9900 are the main supports while to the upside the 0.9960-0.9970 area and 0.9989-1.0000 zone remain strong resistances.
- A strong bullish breakout above 1.0000 is most likely needed to unlock the satus-quo.
