CHF/USD Rate — Last 30 Days
CHF dipped 0.33% this week — minor weakness, within normal market noise.
The 7-day average rate is below the 30-day average — recent momentum favors USD strengthening vs CHF. The trend may continue until a catalyst (rate decision, economic data) reverses it.
The rate is in the bottom 20% of its 30-day range — bearish short-term positioning. Watch if it holds support or breaks to a new low.
RSI of 25 means CHF has fallen fast relative to USD and may be oversold. RSI below 30 often precedes a bounce — but in a strong downtrend, the rate can stay oversold for weeks.

How to get the best CHF to USD rate
The rate shown above is the interbank mid-market rate — the real exchange rate used between financial institutions. Individual customers cannot access this rate directly. Banks typically add a 2–3% spread on top, meaning you receive significantly less than the rate shown.
Online transfer services like Wise offer rates very close to the interbank rate with a small transparent fee of 0.5–1%. On a $1,000 CHF exchange this typically saves $15–25 compared to a bank. Airport exchange booths charge the highest fees — often 5–8% above the interbank rate — and should be avoided for large amounts.
