- Resistance: 0.9726, 0.9793, 0.9902
The US Dollar resumed its move lower against the Swiss Franc, breaking a barrier capping losses since late June. Near-term support is at 0.6917, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 0.9529. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib at 0.9726 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 0.9793.
Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
