USD/CHF Analysis
The chart below shows how this pair has been consolidating within a triangle formation over the past two weeks.
I see a bullish bias but it feels as though the price may need to descend to 0.9928 before it can really rise again.
In the meantime, the price movement is quite slow and there are probably better opportunities elsewhere.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of Unemployment Claims data and the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 1:30pm London time.
