USD/CHF trading just above 0.9230 support after Fed / Summers news
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Fed / Summers news is weighing on the DXY relentlessly thus far Monday morning – forcing the USD/CHF down to the 0.9230 support level.
USD/CHF traders to focus on US news / data until Wednesday
In addition to speculating about who will replace Bernanke when he leaves his post, USD/CHF traders will need to react to US and Swiss data / news releases this week – starting with the US NY Empire State Manufacturing Index, US Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization on Monday.
Technical outlook for USD/CHF
Technicians say the USD/CHF bulls’ last hope is that the 0.9230 support level holds up on a closing basis. A break of that level negates any bullish technical set-up and opens up downside to the 0.9133 level in the short-term and possibly the 0.8681 level a bit further out. Resistance for the cross comes in at 0.9340 with 0.9370 and 0.9454 above that.
