Talking Points:

• USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support:0.9551, 0.9506, 0.9343

• Resistance: 0.9662, 0.9843, 0.9988

The US Dollar rose for a fifth consecutive day against the Swiss Franc, with buyers attempting to clear a path above the 0.98 figure. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion at 0.9662 exposes the 38.2% level at 0.9843. Alternatively, a turn below the 14.6% Fib at 0.9551 opens the door for a test of trend line support at 0.9506.

Prices are too close to resistance to justify entering long from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests that taking up the short side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
