According to United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann, the USD/CHF currency pair has experienced a rebound but continues to lack strong upside momentum. In the short term, UOB expects the US Dollar to trade within a slightly higher range of 0.8320 to 0.8355 against the Swiss Franc, following a sharp rise to 0.8350 that was deemed excessive and unlikely to be sustained [1].
For the next 1–3 weeks, UOB projects a narrower trading range of 0.8295 to 0.8365, revising their earlier expectation of a broader 0.8245 to 0.8365 band. The strategists note that while there is a tentative buildup in upward momentum, it remains insufficient to signal a sustained rally in the USD/CHF pair [1].
On a 1–3 month horizon, UOB anticipates a continued rebound in the pair but does not foresee a retest of the July peak. Technical resistance is identified at 0.8365, with the risk of further gains only if the USD/CHF closes above this level, which could then increase the likelihood of a move above 0.8385 [1].
No significant market reactions or analyst opinions beyond the technical outlook were discussed in the source article.
CONCLUSION
UOB strategists expect USD/CHF to remain in a tight trading range in the near term, with only modest upward momentum. Unless the pair closes above 0.8365, a sustained rally is unlikely. Market impact is expected to be limited based on the current technical outlook.
