Summary
- Recent Bounce, Still Capped:
- USDCHF rebounded after testing the May low near 0.8186 but remains capped below the 50-day SMA (~0.8368)—a key technical ceiling.
- Trend Outlook:
- An ongoing series of lower highs suggests the bearish trend is intact.
- Resistance: ~0.8368 (50-day SMA)
- Support: 0.8186 (May low), then 0.8100 (multi-year pivot zone)
Dollar Dynamics
- Labor Market Strength:
- May NFP surprised to the upside (+139k), giving the USD short-term relief.
- In response, USDCHF popped above 0.822, but gains were muted amid bearish FX positioning.
- Broad USD Sentiment Still Weak:
- Options markets show heavy USD put buying and betting on further declines.
- Reuters poll consensus: Ongoing fiscal uncertainty and trade risks keep the dollar under pressure into Q3.
Swiss Franc Tailwinds
- SNB Active in FX Markets:
- Reserves data implies recent intervention to support the franc.
- Despite SNB's efforts to limit excessive strength, capital inflows into CHF continue due to global risk concerns.
- Medium-Term Bearish Bias:
- Market sees scope for USDCHF to slide toward 0.79–0.80, especially if U.S. data falters or CHF demand persists.
