USD/CHF Analysis
I had identified the zone from 1.0215 to 1.0240 as the last remaining obstacle to a new multi-year high in this strongly trending pair, and this zone held twice yesterday, pushing the price down – although at the time of writing it is beginning to rise again.
Despite the double rejection of that zone there is no reason to turn bearish here yet.
There is nothing due today regarding the CHF. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 5pm.
