As of May 18, $CHFJPY is in an upward trend, showing a bullish momentum. The Swiss National Bank's interest rate stance (0%) is more dovish compared to the Bank of Japan (0.75%), but the safe-haven qualities of the Swiss franc and its low inflation environment continue to support it. Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions and US-China trade frictions further drive safe-haven capital flows into these two currencies.



On the technical side, current support is at 184.79, while resistance levels are at 185.74 and 186.70. If bullish momentum persists, the price may test higher resistance levels (such as the psychological barrier at 202.00 mentioned above); if support is broken, it could further decline to lower levels around 183.84 or even into long-term support zones. The RSI indicator is at 58.49, in a neutral zone, suggesting room for further upside but not yet overbought.

Fundamentally, the Swiss National Bank maintains its interest rate unchanged and has stated a willingness to intervene in the foreign exchange market to limit excessive appreciation of the Swiss franc. The Japanese yen also faces a complex situation with expectations of tightening monetary policy and ongoing depreciation, with markets remaining cautious about potential interventions by authorities.

Major risks include: an unexpected aggressive rate hike by the Bank of Japan or strong intervention by the Swiss National Bank, which could alter the interest rate differential advantage and lead to a trend reversal.
