FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/CHF for January 18, 2017

USD/CHF is inder pressure. The technical picture of the pair is bearish below its declining 50-period moving average, which plays resistance role and maintains the downside bias. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50 and lacks upward momentum. Additionally, the level of 1.0050 (Jan 12 and 13 lows) represents a significant key resistance level, which should limit the upside potential.

As long as this key level holds on the upside, look for a further drop towards 0.9990 and even 0.9945 in extension.

Resistance levels: 1.0080, 1.0120, 1.0180

Support levels: 0.9990, 0.9950, 0.9900
