USD/CHF: Navigating Demand Zones and Market SentimentLast Friday, USD/CHF dropped to a daily low of 0.8375 before rebounding in Monday’s European session, with the current price around 0.84585 as I write this article.
The initial decline in the US Dollar came after the release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and Unemployment Claims, which provided less-than-positive signals. However, the dollar regained strength following encouraging results from the Final Services PMI, ISM Services PMI, and Crude Oil Inventories, all of which had a positive impact.
From a technical perspective, the analysis remains consistent with last week’s outlook, where we see a potential USD rebound against CHF, as the pair continues to trade within a strong demand zone, with retail traders heavily shorting. Looking at seasonality over the past 10 years, there is a historical tendency for an increase in value for this pair around this time. However, given the pre-election period in the US and shifting economic factors, extra caution is advised during this phase.
