The US dollar against the Swiss franc continued its upward trend on Friday, even with a slight dip in the dollar, which recently reached its highest value in over a year. The ongoing disparities in monetary policy expectations between the US Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank favor the dollar over the franc.
As of now, USD/CHF is hovering around 0.8080, marking its peak since November 2025. At the same time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the dollar’s value against six major currencies, stands at approximately 100.80, following an earlier high of 101.13, the best since May 2025.
This week, both the Fed and the SNB kept interest rates steady. However, the Fed hinted at a more aggressive approach concerning inflation, with nearly half of the FOMC members projecting at least one rate hike in the coming year.
On the other hand, low inflation in Switzerland has allowed the SNB to maintain its current stance. SNB Chairman Martin Schlegel remarked that there was no immediate need to adjust interest rates, mentioning that inflation between 0% to 2% is acceptable.
Given these circumstances, the short-term outlook for USD/CHF appears positive. The relative strength index (RSI) is nearing overbought levels, and the currency pair is trading well above its essential long-term moving averages.
Technical analysis:
On the daily chart, USD/CHF stands at 0.8080, exhibiting a bullish trend, above both the 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) of 0.7849 and 0.7907, respectively.
The positioning of the price within these medium- and long-term SMAs indicates that the recent surge is supported. The RSI reading of 68.6 is approaching overbought territory, while the Average Direction Index (ADX) is nearing 27, suggesting that the current uptrend is strengthening rather than just consolidating.
If we look at the higher end, immediate resistance is anticipated near the horizontal barrier at 0.8100. A daily close above this mark could lead to further resistance levels above 0.8500, particularly at 0.8300. Conversely, initial support is likely around the 200-day SMA at 0.7907 and the 100-day SMA at 0.7849, creating a deeper demand zone should a pullback occur.
