The USD/CHF Exchange Rate Recovers From Above 0.9000 As The FOMC Enters The Scene

During the Asian session, the USD/CHF pair witnessed some recovery from the immediate support at 0.9010. The Swiss Franc asset has rebounded after establishing a base around 0.9010 as investors prepare for the publication of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes from May.

 

Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve (Fed), raised interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). The publication of the FOMC minutes will provide a comprehensive explanation for this action. In addition, investors will search for hints regarding interest rate guidance. Notably, Fed Powell has previously advocated for a halt in June's policy tightening.

 

During the Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is exhibiting a lackluster performance. As the long-term credibility of the United States economy is in jeopardy, investors will closely monitor further developments regarding the US debt ceiling.

 

The USD/CHF pair has delivered a breach of the four-hour Wyckoff Accumulation pattern. The Swiss franc asset is in an uptrend characterized by larger bullish movements and high volume. The bulls of the US Dollar are supported by a rising 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) located at 0.90.

 

A confident Relative Strength Index (RSI) break into the bullish range of 60.00-80.00 will further strengthen US Dollar supporters.

 

A decisive break above the 18-May-high of 0.9063 will propel the asset toward the round-number resistance level of 0.9100, followed by the 28-Mar-low of 0.9137.

 

In an alternative scenario, a decline below the low of May 16 at 0.8929 will drive the asset toward the low of April 14 at 0.8867. A decline below the low of April 14 will further drag the asset toward the Spring formation low of 0.8820 on May 4.
