USD/CHF levels to watch
USD/CHF opened Monday testing last week lows at the 0.9850 zone. Then it rebounded and peaked at 0.9901, but quickly pulled back. The 0.9900 area is offering strong resistance; is where the 20-day EMA stands. Above the next key short-term resistance is the downtrend line coming from December highs, currently at 0.9915/20.
After making sharp moves at the beginning of the month, the pair then moved slowly. Currently it holds a bearish tone after being unable to rise back above the parity level last week. It has been falling constantly since December 18 at a modest pace. To the downside immediate support could be located at 0.9850 (Dec 22, 24 & 28 lows) and 0.9815 (Dec 09 low).
