Talking Points:

• USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
• Support: 0.8757, 0.8582, 0.8299
• Resistance: 0.9040, 0.9269, 0.9498

The US Dollar continued to recovery for a second consecutive day against the Swiss Franc having tumbled after the SNB’sdecision to scrap its EURCHF floor. Near-term resistance is at 0.9040, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 0.9269. Alternatively, a turn below the 23.6% Fib at 0.8757 clears the way for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 0.8582.

Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear-cut and actionable signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a compelling opportunity to present itself.
