Talking Points:
- USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support:0.9428, 0.9213, 0.8997
- Resistance: 0.9695, 1.0126, 1.0257
The Swiss Franc is digesting gains against the US Dollar after hitting the highest level in a month below the 0.95 figure. A daily close below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracementat 0.9428 exposes the 50% level at 0.9213. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib at 0.9695 opens the door for at test of 1.0126, the March 12 high.
Entering short seems compelling from a purely technical perspective but the longer-term USDCHF trend continues to look bullish, bolstered by a supportive Fed vs. SNB policy outlook. As such, we will stand aside for now and treat near-term losses as an opportunity to enter long once the pullback is exhausted.
