USD/CHF Technical Analysis
The USDCHF technical analysis of the price chart on 4-hour timeframe shows USDCHF, H4 is retracing down toward the 200-period moving average MA(200) after hitting seven-month high in the first trading session of 2025. We believe the bearish movement will continue after the price breaches below the lower bound of the Donchian channel at 0.90076. A level below this can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to sell. The stop loss can be placed above 0.91070. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved to the next fractal high indicator, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
Fundamental Analysis of Forex - USD/CHF
Swiss retail sales grew less than expected in November. Will the USDCHF price retreating persist?
Swiss retail sales slowing continued in November: the Federal Statistical Office reported Swiss retail sales grew 0.8% over year in November after 1.4% increase in October, when a 1.3% growth was forecast. Slower sales in non-food products and service stations were offset by accelerated sales in food, beverages and tobacco. Slower growth in retail sales is bearish for Swiss franc as retail sales is a primary component of consumer spending which accounts for the majority of overall economic activity. This is bullish for USDCHF. However, the current setup is bearish for the currency pair.
