# USDCHF extends higher and tests 100/200 hour MA

The USDCHF pushed to a new session high today, but the rally is running into a **key resistance zone** overhead. At the same time, oil prices are moving higher on fresh geopolitical headlines, including reports that **Israel has begun military operations in southern Lebanon**. President Trump is also expected to hold a cabinet meeting at Camp David. Normally, cabinet meetings include press access, so the Camp David venue may suggest discussions are intended to remain more private. Crude oil is trading near **$94** after reaching a high of **$94.51**.

From a technical perspective, the USDCHF rallied to test the converging **100- and 200-hour moving averages at 0.7853 and 0.7857** respectively. The price reached **0.7858** before backing off slightly and currently trades near **0.7850**. Earlier in the day, the pair moved back above its **100-day moving average at 0.7838** after falling below that level during yesterday’s dollar selling. Yesterday’s low stalled near the **May 14 swing low at 0.7807**, where buyers stepped back in.

Today, after successfully retesting the broken **100-day MA**, buyers pushed the pair back above that key barometer and have kept the price above it since. To tilt the bias back fully in favor of the sellers, the pair would need to move back below the **100-day MA at 0.7838**. For now, however, the market is caught between support at the **100-day MA below** and resistance at the **100- and 200-hour MAs above**, keeping the bias more neutral as buyers and sellers battle for the next shove in momentum. A break below **0.7838** or above **0.7857** should help determine the next directional move.
