SWISS FRANC vs US DOLLAR ESTIMATES HIGHER, DUE TO YIELD CONCERNSFutures on Swiss Franc vs US dollar (mirrored mode of the OANDA:USDCHF forex pair) currently shows a bullish technical outlook, with the price breaking above the key 1.2500 level and testing new highs amid weak US data and ongoing Swiss franc demand. Most popular technical indicators—including moving averages, MACD, and momentum - signal continued upward pressure, reflected in a weekly and monthly “strong buy” consensus for CHF/USD. Trend and Volatility Since peaking near 1.25 in early August, CHF/USD has traded in a compressed sideways range, but recent price action suggests a potential for Bullish expansion. The pair goes to break above medium-term 40-days resistance at 1.2500; moreover, upside triggers at 1.2500 could expose further movement up to 1.2725. Key Technical Indicators All major moving averages (from 10-day to 200-day) are flashing Buy signals, while pivotal resistance zones cluster around 1.2500. Oscillators remain neutral to slightly positive, with RSI above 50, suggesting neither oversold nor overbought conditions, but upside momentum prevails. Yield Spread and Macro Factors A narrowing yield spread between US and Swiss 2-year bonds reduces the attractiveness of USD over CHF, adding further pressure to the pair. With the Swiss National Bank potentially pausing its rate cut cycle, and Swiss economic indicators showing slight improvement, the franc’s position remains fundamentally strong. Overall, CHF/USD technical perspectives favor continued franc strength and persistent Bullish pressure on the pair, especially above the pivotal 1.2500 region. -- Best wishes, @PandorraResearch Team

a return to confirmed sellers presents a good =SELL entry 1-> 4 : we create a lower low in a relativly similiar environment of volatility , this cements number 1 as the big boss of our chart or as I like to call it the solid major high 5: price returns to the solid major high and rejects strongly, this is tricky because the strong bullish bar might confuse some, but think of it as a sprinter at th end of a race, it's more of a final exertion than an overwhelming amount of newfound energy. 6: a return to the stupply and demand zone created by 1 and confirmed by 5 , a sell here is the logical move what do I think is going to happen ? * I think we will go below the low 4 and reach the zone target below that * I think number 1 are strong sellers , else a psyop to stop me out, but i'm not going to start getting paranoid, it never pays off. * we have hidden divergence and the formation of the potential half of a cone shape in rsi, mfi and acc/dist, which is a turn of events usually * zone trading tells us that if price closes in a zone, we have a 65% chance it will reach the next zone below, over the past 2,500 candles, you can reduce the lookback and manually count just to be sure the stats are correct, so we can have our stop order a bit in the zone so hopefully price closes there, we can have a breakeven at the last zone we wish to traverse and a logical tp as well.

Awaiting Breakout **Martingale Friendly**6S (Swiss Franc Futures) on the 1H chart is coiling within a tight range following a multi-day consolidation. Price action shows signs of compression near the mid-range, potentially gearing up for expansion. The current setup features a bullish R:R of ~1.8, with the entry positioned near support and a clearly defined stop. The trade aims to capitalize on volatility release above 1.2220 or failure below 1.2130. This is a classic volatility breakout play, framed within a mean-reversion environment. Confirmation from macro catalysts or volume delta would strengthen conviction.

Swiss Shield: Buy the DipThe tariff agreement that seemingly fell from the Geneva sky earlier this month convinced investors to pivot toward risk-linked assets, allowing the Swiss currency to retreat temporarily. However, the Franc’s safe-haven status, combined with the fragile balance currently settling over the markets, leads us to view this pullback as a tactical opportunity to buy at attractive levels. Fundamental Analysis While there are indeed factors that could support a continued weakening of the Franc, such as the interest rate differential between the U.S. and Switzerland, which might spark carry trade flows in favor of the dollar, experienced investors know better than to rely solely on interest rates to navigate the complexities of currency markets. Beneath the surface lies a dense web of competing incentives and mechanisms. True, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) has repeatedly warned of a possible return to negative rates since the beginning of the year, and is due to announce its next policy decision on June 19. The market currently expects a 25-basis-point rate cut, from 0.25% to 0%, prompted by persistently weak inflation data. And yet, the Swiss Franc has gained nearly 8% in 2025, proof that the erratic trade stance of the White House and the unpredictable temperament of its new occupant are outweighing rate differentials and continuing to boost safe-haven demand, with the Franc at the top of the list. Despite this week’s much-publicized announcements, which so far apply only for 90 days, the medium-term outlook remains highly unstable. Trying to guess the next provocation from the U.S. president is anyone’s game. Of course, interpreting market price action is never straightforward, but that task becomes even murkier when populism takes root at the highest levels of decision-making. It’s also worth remembering that U.S. tariffs remain historically high despite the recent agreement with China. According to Yale’s research lab, and based on some fairly sophisticated modeling, the effective U.S. tariff rate is still at its highest level since 1934. In this environment, the Swiss Franc seems well-positioned to retain favor among currency traders as part of a classic fly-to-quality move in times of uncertainty. The main risk here lies in the SNB's willingness, or lack thereof, to actively weigh on the Franc in an attempt to revive sluggish inflation. But for now, it's far from clear that the central bank is prepared to return to such controversial tactics, especially given its past accusations of exchange rate manipulation. Technical Analysis From a technical standpoint, the Franc’s recent retreat has opened up a compelling buying opportunity. Earlier this week, prices dropped to around 1.1850, precisely filling a low-volume area that hadn’t been revisited since April 10. Upon hitting this support, algorithmic strategies that specialize in gap-filling stepped in aggressively, with rising volume confirming the reaction. The rebound could continue, especially with reported corporate interest accumulating in the 1.1950–1.1980 zone, according to various trading chat channels. The next significant resistance stands around 1.2250, a level that has repeatedly capped upward moves since April 23. Sentiment Analysis Starting with the CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) report, asset managers have remained net short on the Franc for several years. However, this positioning is typically driven by hedging needs, such as covering equity portfolios, rather than directional conviction. As historical data shows, these short exposures rarely prevent the Swiss currency from rallying. On the retail side, aggregated data from various FX/CFD brokers shows that individual traders, whose positioning is often used as a contrarian indicator, remain heavily long USD/CHF, and therefore short the Franc. In some cases, this proportion exceeds 90%. Such crowding could provide fuel for a short squeeze if the market turns. Finally, the VIX has drifted back below the psychological 20 mark following recent developments, after previously surging above 50 last month, levels not seen since the pandemic. This presents a paradox: on one hand, volatility appears to be easing, but on the other, the broader situation remains unstable, with markets hanging on every word from Donald Trump. Trade Idea In summary, the fundamental, technical, and sentiment-based analyses all suggest that the recent dip to 1.1850 was more likely an emotional overreaction to headlines than the beginning of a structural downtrend. Despite some headwinds, notably the SNB’s close attention to the exchange rate, the Franc’s safe-haven appeal continues to outweigh other catalysts in a market where volatility remains fragile and unstable. Entry: Long Swiss Franc futures (6SM5) at current levels Stop: Daily close below 1.1850, which would invalidate the key support based on volume profile structure Target: 1.2250, a resistance level that has already been tested multiple times since late April, offering a solid risk/reward setup.

Dollar Decline Against All Major CurrenciesThe Dollar’s decline didn’t start with the recent ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs. In fact, it has been gradually weakening since the 1970s. More recently, however, the Dollar has lost value against many currencies since January. Why is that? Why have the USD/CHF and USD/SGD strengthened against the US Dollar over the past few decades? One reason is that both countries have managed their money supply with discipline. For example, as of end-2024, Switzerland’s net federal debt stood at 141 billion Swiss franc, their debt to GDP ratio at 17.2%. In contrast, the United States has expanded its national debt at an alarming rate. Some might point out that Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio is even higher—around 230%. That is why the Japanese Yen has also been in decline for decades. Why does printing more money through QE and increasing the money supply weaken a currency? Just imagine in a close economy with 10 people and 1 central bank. If the central bank printed $100 and distributed equally to the 10, each of them will receive $10 to buy 10 available cheesecakes. But now the central bank decided to print $1,000 and each person will have $100 to buy 10 available cheesecakes. The global economy is not a close, but an open system. When the US and other major economies printed massive amounts of money, they didn’t just inflate their own economies—they exported inflation worldwide. This contributes to rising cost of living not all around the world. In my view, Gold is also a currency pair against the US at the start of 1971. The moment dollar unpeg itself from gold, gold appreciates. With each QE, we can see how the currencies have diluted with gold and inflation appreciating over these years. Why different currencies have started to appreciate against the USD since January this year? We can see all the currencies have either reached its bottomed in January and started moving higher or it formed a reversal pattern like the Aussie dollar and the Dollar Yuan, in this case with this inverted hammer, it is indicating Dollar Yuan to reverse downward, meaning dollar coming off and yuan to appreciate. January was President Trump inauguration and February was when he rolled out tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, and the market do not like that and has been selling the USD against the rest of the currencies? If US has printed the so much money, but why other than Swiss franc and Singapore Dollar, many other currencies have been depreciating against dollars over the past decades? I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

Swiss Franc Futures Decline Amid Weaker US Dollar:Market InsightThe CHF Swiss Franc futures pair experienced a decline to approximately 1.308 during the early European trading session on Monday. This weakening can be primarily attributed to the broad softness of the US Dollar (USD), which has been under pressure lately. After an initial reversal at the pivotal level of 108.000, the US Dollar Index (DXY) managed to recover some ground, indicating a volatile session ahead for currency traders. Today's market attention is squarely focused on a series of significant economic events that could influence currency valuations. Notably, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is scheduled to deliver a speech that many analysts anticipate will provide insights into the central bank's future policy direction. Given the current economic climate in Europe, her comments are likely to be closely scrutinized by market participants looking for hints on interest rate adjustments and other monetary policy considerations. Additionally, the release of the US ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) later today is another critical data point that traders are monitoring. The PMI serves as a vital barometer for the health of the manufacturing sector, and its results can significantly sway market sentiment. A stronger-than-expected PMI reading could lend support to the USD, particularly in light of the Federal Reserve's cautious stance in recent months. A resilient manufacturing sector may fuel speculation about potential interest rate hikes, thus supporting the US dollar. As the market digests these developments, a bearish sentiment appears to be forming for the CHF futures pair. The combination of a weaker Swiss Franc and the possibility of a stable or strengthening US Dollar suggests that traders may be looking to position themselves for a further decline in the CHF/USD relationship. In the current environment of uncertainty and varied economic signals, currency traders must remain vigilant, ready to adapt to rapid changes that could arise from today's pivotal events. In summary, the interplay between the Swiss Franc and the US Dollar is accentuated by current macroeconomic factors, including central bank communications and key economic releases. With a bearish setup on the horizon and investors keenly anticipating these market-moving events, today's trading session promises to be both challenging and potentially rewarding for those engaged in forex trading. ✅ Please share your thoughts about CHF Futures in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.
