USD/CHF on the defensive
FXstreet.com (London) - USD/CHF remains on the defensive, and with little data other than Fed speeches attention has shifted to the 0.8891 recent low.
Strategists at Commerzbank noted that with the 0.8862 38.2% retracement from the 2011 low represent major support, the downside is likely to hold. They note that the downtrend is at 0.9126. “We note the 13 count on the 240 minute chart and intraday charts are suggesting that we should see a small rebound to 0.8975/0.9020. A close above the 0.9126 resistance line is needed to alleviate immediate downside pressure and trigger a recovery to the 100 day ma at 0.9160”.
