Price of USD/CHF Nearing New Three-Year High Above 1.0070

During the Tokyo session, the USD/CHF pair surpassed its immediate barrier at 1.0050 and is set to attempt a three-year high reached on October 13 at 1.0074. The negative market sentiment brought on by late selling in the S&P 500 and rising rates has bolstered the dollar bulls.

The 10-year US Treasury yields reached 4.23 percent as a result of a surge in wagers on an anticipated rate hike announcement by the Federal Reserve (Fed). At the time of publication, the US dollar index (DXY) had surpassed the key 113.00 mark.

Daily, the asset is trading in a narrow range between 1.0048 and 1.0074 in the direction of the supply zone. The 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are vertically aligned to the north, which confirms the upward filters.

Similarly, the Relative Strength Index (14) anticipates a move towards the bullish zone between 60.00 and 80.00. A similar scenario will further strengthen the greenback bulls.

If the asset surpasses its peak of 1.0074 on October 13, it will reach a fresh three-year high. The predominant trend is toward the round-number resistance level of 1.0100, followed by the 15 April 2019 peak of 1.0160.

Alternatively, the bulls of the Swiss franc may regain control if the asset breaches the September 29 low of 0.9742. This would result in the pair reaching a high of 0.9695 on September 19 and a low of 0.9620 on September 22.
