USD/CHF Analysis
The bullish momentum in this pair continued yesterday, as the price broke up above the resistance at 0.9800 and reached a level very close to 0.9840 before pulling back. It might be that 0.9800 now acts as minor support but I do not see it as a key level. There may also be minor support at 0.9750, before the stronger level at 0.9739.
The CHF is the weakest currency around right now so it is that side of the pair that is really driving things. A USD-positive FOMC tomorrow would make this the logical pair to be long of.
Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders data at 1:30pm London time, followed by CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm. There is nothing due concerning the CHF.
