• A bear cross, represented by the 20-and 50-period EMAs at 0.9954, indicates more weakness ahead.

The pair currently trades last at 0.99291.

The previous day high was 0.9998 while the previous day low was 0.992. The daily 38.2% Fib levels comes at 0.995, expected to provide resistance. Similarly, the daily 61.8% fib level is at 0.9968, expected to provide resistance.

The EUR/CHF pair has retreated after a short-lived recovery to near 0.9934 in the Asian session. The asset witnessed a steep fall on Thursday after the Swiss National Bank (SNB) hiked rates by 50 basis points (bps) to 1.50% despite fears of financial instability propelled by the demise of Credit Suisse.

After hiking the interest rate, SNB Chairman Thomas J. Jordan cited “We are raising rates to counter the renewed increase in inflationary pressure. The guidance on interest rates from SNB Jordan was also hawkish as the central bank is ready to raise rates further to ensure price stability.

On the Eurozone front, investors will keep an eye on preliminary S&P Global PMI (March) figures. As per the consensus, the Manufacturing PMI is seen at 49.0, higher than the prior release of 48.5. While the Services PMI might decline to 52.5 from the former release of 52.7.

EUR/CHF has breakdown the higher lows structure after challenging March 21 low at 0.9926 on an hourly scale. The downside bias for the cross was built after a negative bearish divergence, which showed exhaustion in the upside momentum. It is worth noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) formed a lower high while the asset was continuously forming higher highs.

A bear cross, represented by the 20-and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 0.9954, indicates more weakness ahead.

The RSI (14) has also slipped into the bearish range of 20.00-40.00, which indicates that the bearish momentum is active.

More losses would be discovered if the cross slips below March 23 low at 0.9920, which will drag the asset toward March 15 high at 0.9883 followed by the round-level support at 0.9800.

On the flip side, a decisive break above March 20 high at 0.9966 will drive the cross toward the psychological resistance at 1.0000 followed by March 02 high at 1.0042.
