What can we expect from USDCHF for the new week and what happened on Friday?
USDCHF on Friday dropped -0.1% to 0.90449. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising in overbought zone. For the week ending 2023-05-26, the pair rose 0.61% or 54.9 pips higher.
Looking ahead on Monday, USDCHF looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 0.89400.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 0.90745 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 0.90198. On the downside, we are looking at week low 0.89400 or 0.89651 (WS1) as immediate support level. USDCHF need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 0.90745 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of May, USDCHF is up by 1.21% or 107.8 pips higher.
