USD/CHF Analysis
This pair is in a strong downwards trend and has again continued to make new lows, although the pace of the downwards movement is slowing. The new bearish trend line fitting the action in the chart below has still not been touched yet. The dominant theme of the market remains the CHF, Euro, Gold and JPY all strengthening or weakening together, as safe haven assets.
The closer the price gets to the big round number at 0.9500, the greater the chance of a major bullish reversal.
There is nothing due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm London time.
