Euro Hits 17-Month Low Against Swiss Franc Amid Fiscal Concerns
The euro has fallen to a 17-month low against the Swiss franc, driven by growing concerns over France's fiscal situation and political instability in the euro zone. Rising French government bond yields and calls for snap elections in Spain have amplified regional sovereign risk, increasing demand for the Swiss franc as a safe-haven currency. The EUR/CHF pair is currently trading at Fr.0.9367, up 0.5% on the day, and shows broad bullish momentum on technical indicators.
Technical analysis indicates that EUR/CHF is trading above key moving averages, including the MA-20 at Fr.0.935, MA-50 at Fr.0.9327, and MA-200 at Fr.0.9239. The D1 Ichimoku Kijun at Fr.0.9343 acts as immediate support, while the session high stands at Fr.0.9367. Momentum indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI suggest strong buy signals, although the Stoch RSI shows oversold conditions, hinting at potential upside.
In the short term, EUR/CHF is expected to trade within a range of Fr.0.9315 to Fr.0.9419 over the next two to three sessions. The probability of an upward move is high at 77%, with a bullish outcome favoring a sustained push above resistance. A confirmed drop below the Kijun level would create a bearish scenario. Analysts emphasize the importance of key support levels in determining the durability of the current bullish turn.
