Talking Points:



  • USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat


  • Support: 0.9835, 0.9781, 0.9727


  • Resistance:0.9902, 1.0010, 1.0118


The US Dollar extended higher to set a new 28-month high but failed to overcome the 0.99 figure against the Swiss Franc. A daily close above the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion at 0.9902 exposes the 100% level at 1.0010. Alternatively, a turn below the 61.8% Fib at 0.9835 clears the way for a challenge of the 50% expansion at 0.9781.



Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
