USD/CHF Analysis
The USD weakness that took hold at the end of last week really showed itself strongly in this pair, with the price falling extremely sharply. It now looks as if the price found some support around the psychologically key level of 0.9750 and while it may well not reverse, it is likely to at least take some kind of break from going down. A short trade looks like being the next higher-probability set up, but watch the candlesticks closely to see whether the impulsive move is in the buying or selling as this pair often likes to retrace sharp movements like the one that just occurred.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF as it is a public holiday in Switzerland. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
