Higher energy prices pushed US Treasury yields and the US Dollar up, with the pair trading near 0.7800.\n\nThe pair moved above 0.7800 to a two-day high, but buyers have not cleared resistance at 0.7817, the latest cycle high. The RSI shows bulls gaining strength, though the broader momentum still favours sellers.\n\n<h3>Key Resistance And Momentum<\/h3>\nA daily close above 0.7800 would set the next resistance at the March 3 high of 0.7878. Further levels above are 0.7900 and 0.8000.\n\nSupport sits at the March 6 low of 0.7750. Below that, a trendline from current-year lows around 0.7601 runs through the 0.7670 to 0.7700 zone, and a break there would expose the January 28 swing low of 0.7601.\n\nA correction dated March 11 at 20:59 GMT stated the March 3 high was 0.7878, not 0.7817.\n\nThe USD\/CHF is showing bullish strength, echoing a familiar pattern. The latest February 2026 Consumer Price Index reading of 3.4% has pushed US Treasury yields higher, strengthening the dollar. This situation is further intensified by WTI crude prices, which have recently surpassed $85 per barrel.\n\n<h3>Options Positioning And Policy Divergence<\/h3>\nWe are seeing a setup reminiscent of this time in 2025, when the pair struggled around the 0.7800 level. Back then, a push above key resistance was needed to confirm bullish momentum. A similar challenge faces us now, making a daily close above 0.7800 a critical signal for traders.\n\nFor derivative traders, this suggests considering call options with strike prices just above the current resistance. Buying calls with strikes near 0.7850 or even 0.7900 could be a viable strategy to capitalize on a potential breakout. This approach allows for participation in upward movement while defining risk to the premium paid.\n\nConversely, if the pair fails to hold above 0.7800, traders should be prepared for a slide. Looking back at the 2025 analysis, a break below 0.7750 signaled further weakness. Therefore, purchasing put options with a strike below that level could serve as a hedge or a speculative play on momentum failing.\n\nImplied volatility is likely to increase around upcoming central bank announcements. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent hawkish tone contrasts with the Swiss National Bank&#8217;s signals for potential easing. This policy divergence strongly supports a continued upward path for the USD\/CHF in the coming weeks.\n\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login\">start trading<\/a>\u00a0now. <\/b>\n<p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Start trading now &#8211; Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account <\/strong> <\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD\/CHF extends gains after US inflation lifts yields; resistance near 0.7817; support at 0.7750, 0.7601.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-updates"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"josephine","author_link":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/author\/josephine\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30490\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vtmarketsglobal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
