The USD/CHF currency pair formed a 'bullish piercing' chart pattern on Monday, signaling potential further upside for the pair. At the time of reporting, USD/CHF was trading with a 0.70% gain around 0.7860, having cleared the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 0.7834. The pair is now consolidating below the 0.7900 level, with buyers gathering momentum as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned bullish [1].
Key resistance lies at the 50-day SMA at 0.7868. Should USD/CHF break above the 0.7900 mark, the next targets are 0.8000 and the April 6 daily high of 0.8018. A breach of this level would expose the March 31 swing high at 0.8042, followed by the 0.8100 level. On the downside, a drop below the 100-day SMA would expose the 0.7800 mark, with further support at the May 8 daily low of 0.7761 and the March 10 daily low of 0.7748. The next area of interest below these levels would be 0.7700 [1].
