Author: Zain Vawda
Date: April 24, 2026
Market Overview
The USD/CHF currency pair is currently in a recovery phase, positioned between the 50-day moving average (MA) at 0.7845 and the 100-day MA at 0.7865. The analysis indicates a bullish structure on the 4-hour chart, highlighted by a "Golden Cross" where the 100-period MA is above the 200-period MA.
Daily Chart Analysis
The daily chart reveals that USD/CHF has been recovering from a significant sell-off earlier in 2026, forming higher lows supported by an ascending trendline. A close above the 100-day MA would signal a bullish shift in medium-term momentum, although the 200-day MA at 0.7937 remains a critical resistance level for bulls.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is around the 50 midline, indicating indecision in market direction.
4-Hour Chart Insights
On the 4-hour chart, USD/CHF has broken above the 0.7828 resistance level, which previously capped price movements. The price is currently testing the 200-period MA at 0.7887, and a sustained break above this level could lead to a retest of the psychological resistance at 0.8000. The RSI is trending upwards, suggesting potential for further gains.
1-Hour Chart Scenarios
The 1-hour chart shows that USD/CHF is above all major moving averages, indicating a bullish trend. Key scenarios include:
Potential Bullish Scenario:
If USD/CHF maintains above 0.7846, targets include 0.7887 and 0.7920, with a break above 0.7920 suggesting a move towards 0.8000.
Potential Bearish Scenario:
Failure to break above 0.7870/80 could lead to a "bull trap." A drop below 0.7846 would likely revisit the 0.7828 support level, with further declines possible if this support fails.
Key Levels to Watch
- Resistance: 0.7887, 0.7937, 0.8000
- Support: 0.7846, 0.7828, 0.7780
Conclusion
USD/CHF is at a pivotal point, with the daily chart indicating a recovery while lower timeframes suggest a potential breakout. Traders should closely monitor the 0.7887 level for signs of bullish momentum as the week progresses.
