USD/CHF portrays a three-day downtrend at the lowest level in a week, down 0.25% intraday around 0.9155 heading into Thursday’s European session, as the pair sellers brace for the Swiss National bank (SNB) Interest Rate Decision.

In doing so, the Swiss Franc (CHF) pair sellers cheer the quote’s sustained trading below the fortnight-old descending resistance line, as well as a U-turn from the 100-DMA. It’s worth noting that the bearish MACD signals and the downbeat RSI (14), not oversold, also exert downside pressure on the USD/CHF prices.
Hence, the pair is well-set to decline towards a seven-week-old ascending support line, near 0.9080 by the press time.
However, the RSI conditions appear closer to the oversold territory and hence the USD/CHF pair’s weakness past 0.9080 becomes elusive.
Should the quote drops below 0.9080, the 0.9000 psychological magnet and the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of the pair’s moves between November 10, 2022, and March 03, 2023, around 0.8915, will gain the market’s attention.
Alternatively, a convergence of the 50-DMA and a two-week-old resistance line, near 0.9255 at the latest, restrict short-term USD/CHF upside ahead of the 100-DMA resistance surrounding 0.9335.
In a case where the Swiss pair buyers keep the reins past 0.9335, the monthly high of near 0.9440 could act as the last defense of the pair bears.
Trend: Further downside expected
