USD/CHF surges to test critical 0.8076 resistance on strong momentum

USD/CHF has emerged as the day's top performer, rallying sharply to test the crucial resistance zone between 0.8071-0.8076, with the pair briefly piercing above to reach 0.8078. The dollar's strength against the Swiss franc reflects broader USD momentum and risk-on sentiment diminishing safe-haven demand for CHF. The 0.8071-0.8076 area represents a significant technical ceiling that has capped previous advances, making this test particularly important for determining the pair's near-term trajectory. A sustained break above 0.8076 could open the path toward 0.8100 and potentially 0.8150, while failure to clear this resistance might trigger a pullback to support at 0.8040-0.8050. Traders are closely monitoring whether buyers can maintain momentum above this key level, as a confirmed breakout would signal a potential trend acceleration higher. The move aligns with recent dollar strength across major pairs amid shifting monetary policy expectations.
