Technical analysis of USD/CHF for January 08, 2018

USD/CHF is expected to trade with bullish bias above 0.9735. Although the pair posted a pullback, a support base at 0.9735 has formed and has allowed for a temporary stabilization. Even though a continuation of the consolidation cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited. Hence, as long as 0.9735 holds on the downside, […]
