USDCHF Price Forecast for 2025 Based on Technical Analysis
Let’s conduct a technical analysis of the USDCHF pair to make a forecast.
The USD/CHF currency pair has been trading within a large Expanding Wedge pattern for a long time. The price may breach the pattern’s upward or downward boundary. At the beginning of the year, the price tested the key resistance level of 0.9228 and returned below it.
Meanwhile, the price has formed Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star, and Three Black Crows reversal patterns, suggesting that quotes have reached an area of high prices. Currently, the price is trading near 0.8853, setting the stage for a deeper decline.
The MACD values are in the negative zone, indicating that the downward trend is solidifying. The RSI is also declining, pointing to a bearish market and the potential for further decline. The MFI is showing an outflow of liquidity, which also emphasizes the strengthening of the Swiss currency against the US dollar. The simple moving averages MA50 and MA200 offer dynamic resistance levels of 0.8861 and 0.9113, respectively.
The trading instrument will likely continue to decline in the near term to the key support level of 0.8692. If this level is broken through, it may trigger further selling, leading to a decline towards the 0.8555–0.8185 range by the end of 2025.
However, if bulls manage to fix the price above the resistance level of 0.8853, an alternative scenario is possible. In this case, the USDCHF pair will likely soar to the area of 0.9005–0.9470.
The following table presents the forecasted lowest and highest values of the USDCHF rate during the next 12 months.

Long-Term Trading Plan for USDCHF
The USDCHF pair is likely to maintain a downward trend in 2025. On the weekly chart, the conducted technical analysis has allowed us to identify key support and resistance levels that can be used in trading strategies.

Moreover, the Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star, and Three Black Crows candlestick patterns emerged. As a result, the price has embarked on a downward trajectory.
- MACD values are decreasing in the negative zone, signaling that the bearish trend will likely persist. The RSI is also decreasing. According to MFI, the asset faces an outflow of liquidity, which gives signals for opening short positions.
- The base case long-term scenario suggests opening short positions below 0.8692 with targets at 0.8555–0.8185.

Analysts’ USDCHF Price Projections Until 2050
Forecasting the USDCHF exchange rate between 2040 and 2050 is challenging due to the high degree of uncertainty in the global economic and geopolitical landscape.
The Swiss franc and US dollar exchange rate is influenced by numerous factors, including economic growth, inflation, interest rates, geopolitical risks, technological breakthroughs, and changes in trade policies. It is almost impossible to predict how these factors can evolve over such a prolonged time as the next two decades.
The Swiss franc’s historical role as a safe-haven currency contributes to its sensitivity to global crises and market instabilities. Unanticipated events, such as military conflicts, pandemics, or economic downturns, may impact the demand for the franc and its exchange rate against the US dollar.
In addition, long-term macroeconomic trends, such as aging populations in developed countries, advancements in AI and automation solutions, climate change, and related investments in green energy, could also influence the relative economic strength of the US and Switzerland and the USDCHF rate.
