USDCHF Trades Beneath 0.9000 Level, Risk Aversion Boosts Franc

USDCHF Price Analysis – May 18

Early in the European session, the USDCHF pair slips beneath 0.8998 to multi-month lows, with sellers now looking to expand the downward trend below the 0.8950 low level. The decline was fueled solely by sustained US dollar sellers, as Investors’ risk aversion boosts demand for safe-haven Franc.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 0.9304, 0.9160, 0.9045
Support Levels: 0.8950, 0.8887, 0.8757
USDCHF Long term Trend: Bearish
The USDCHF was hit by fresh selling at the start of the day at 0.9034, and it proceeded to fall due to broad-based USD weakness on risk sentiment to an intraday low of 0.8965 at the time of this post. The present bias stays on the downside towards breaching the horizontal support at $0.8950.

In the event of a second rebound, the upside of the USDCHF may be limited by the 0.8998 support turned resistance level, signaling the start of a new decline. In any case, a break of 0.9000 marks is required to signal medium-term bottoming. Otherwise, the trend may stay bearish in case of a rebound.
USDCHF Short term Trend: Bearish
The USDCHF is now trapped beneath a temporary peak of 0.9034 and continues to fall. The initial intraday sentiment is bearish. If there is another turnaround, the 0.8998 former support level, which has now turned into a resistance level, signaling the start of a new decline, should limit upside potential.

On the downside, if the 0.8950 level is breached, the 61.8 percent projection of 0.9164 to 0.8998 levels from 0.9093 at 0.8950 levels could be targeted next. Marginal weakness is expected as long as the 0.8998 level persists, but the 0.8950 level is likely to hold. Just above the 0.8998 level is there a chance of a move towards the 0.9045 level.
