USD/CHF’s strong rise and break of 0.8041 resistance last week confirmed resumption of whole rally from 0.7603. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 100% projection 0.7603 to 0.8041 from 0.7600 at 0.8198 next. On the downside, below 0.8012 resistance turned support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first before staging another rise.
In the bigger picture, while a medium term bottom was formed at 0.7603, it’s still early to call for bullish trend reversal. As long as 38.2% retracement of 0.9200 (2025 high) to 0.7603 at 0.8213 holds, the larger down trend could still continue through 0.7603 at a later stage. However, firm break of 0.7603 will argue that the trend has reversed and turn focus to 0.8332 support turned resistance (2023 low) for confirmation.
In the long term picture, price action from 0.7065 (2011 low) are seen as a corrective pattern to the multi-decade down trend from 1.8305 (2000 high). It’s uncertain if the fall from 1.0342 is the second leg of the pattern, or resumption of the downtrend. But in either case, outlook will stay bearish as long as 0.8756 support turned resistance holds (2021 low). Retest of 0.7065 should be seen next.
