USD/CHF maintains ascending support line
FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/CHF has maintained the upside in European markets on an ascending support line reaching highs of 0.8760.
Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank explained that the USD/CHF is seeing tiny embryonic signs of life following last weeks divergence of the daily RSI. “Minor resistance is seen at the 0.8777 February low ahead of the 0.8805 March 11 high. Further resistance comes in around the 0.8831 mid-December low and along the downtrend line at 0.8840. This will need to be overcome in order to really instigate some upside interest”. She added, “We suspect that the market will remain under pinned by last weeks low at 0.8698, only a fall through here will put the 0.8568 October 2011 low and 50% retracement of the 2011-12 rise at 0.8520 on the map”. Meanwhile, from the calendar, ahead of the FOMC, SNB Chairman Jordan is up later on speaking which might give markets an opportunity to extract some clues.
