USD/CHF Primed for Topside: Q2 Best Trading Opportunities

Possibly the unprecedented character of 2020 and the Coronavirus pandemic could one day be categorized as a Dark Swan occasion. The virus came from nowhere and triggered a worldwide downturn as savings the world-around were made to shut down in near-immediate style. Central Banks intervened to fend off economic devastation and in the months since this attention has turned towards attempting to induce expansion. This has generated some contortion around financial markets as investors try to shuffle forward of an extremely uncertain future.

Though both the Federal Reserve and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) continue to present high levels of lodging, the speed divergence between both economies will probably remain a variable. Helping that subject along has been the continuing drive-higher in returns from the US, together with shareholders gearing up for a potential quicker return to normalcy as vaccines supply for hope to the horizon.

So, even if the Fed doesn't increase rates anytime soon, a disparity will exist at the speed policy between both markets, and this may continue to encourage the topside of USD/CHF.

Meanwhile, Europe's vaccine roll-out program continues to lag that of the USA, which might further hinder Switzerland's capacity to recuperate in a quicker pace compared to its US counterpart. Even though the SNB has stopped its exceptionally dovish coverage, prices are predicted to stay -0.75%, which makes CHF more vulnerable to periods of powerful risk-on, risk off swings.

USD/CHF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
It was a remarkable change-of-pace at USD/CHF tendencies in Q1 of the year. After focusing on a competitive 8-month length of weakness, USD/CHF eventually found support coming in the New Year across the 0.8800 deal with. And, like a light switch being turned, bulls came , pushing the set bigger, and have continued to do so into quarter-end.

With increasing yields encouraging USD strength, bulls could drive costs to a new eight-month high before running into a wall of resistance shaped by the 38.2% Fibonacci level. But bears were met with disappointment following the small pullback in costs were shown to be a mere correction prior to bullish continuation prevailed. On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is poised to approach the 70-mark and should that cross to overbought territory, bears might have the chance to temporarily push costs lower.

Moving forward, I feel that the struggle for Central banks are going to be to guarantee that the withdrawal of QE doesn't interrupt financial equilibrium. Even though it's likely that principles will remain a notable catalyst for USD/CHF cost action for the whole period of this calendar year, I'm tricked into believing that optimism might promote additional USD gains, together with the systemic, continuous tendency staying relatively bullish.
