Talking Points:

• USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
• Support: 0.9554, 0.9391, 0.9259
• Resistance:0.9654, 0.9723, 0.9817

The US Dollar turned lower against the Swiss Franc as expected having found resistance near the 0.9800 figure. Near-term support is at 0.9554, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 0.9391. Alternatively, a turn above the 14.6% Fib at 0.9654 opens the door for a challenge of wedge floor support-turned-resistance at 0.9723.

Our long-term outlook calls for a broadly stronger US Dollar against its key counterparts. With that in mind, we will treat the ongoing USDCHF pullback as a chance to get long at more attractive levels once a clear-cut opportunity presents itself rather than a short trade setup.
