USD/CHF: Did the Swiss Franc Whisper Its Next Move?

On March 26, 2024, I wrote an article on the Swiss franc.

In the blog, I mentioned that,

“I literally woke up to the words “Swiss francs.”

So here I was at 4 am, checking the charts of Swiss Francs, both in the futures market and then with the ETFFXF in multiple timeframes.”

With research, I read this:

“The Swiss Franc has a reputation for being a safe haven or hard currency; it is often purchased during financial uncertainty due to its reliability and stability. Regularly used as a global reserve currency, the Swiss Franc is the sixth most traded currency in the world.”

So here we are nearly 3 months later, and the Swiss Franc is trading at levels not seen since mid-March.

We sat through some pain.

But I never gave up as this was not the first time I awoke to hear my brain saying a trading symbol literally out of nowhere.FXF-Daily Chart

The ETF FXF chart shows Real Motion inclining in momentum.

The Leadership indicator shows FXF outperforming SPY.

And the price stopped right at the 200-DMA.

So that makes it clear.

FXF had a fabulous run since last week,

Now, the high made today at 100.08 needs to clear.

Then we can easily see 103-104 next.

Remember though, this is currency and a slow-moving one.

My dream is for the patient.
