Technical analysis of USD/CHF for November 23, 2017

USD/CHF is under pressure and expected to trade with bearish outlook as key resistance is at 0.9870. Despite the recent rebound from 0.9800, the pair is still trading below its declining 20-period and 50-period moving averages. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50. Even though a continuation of the technical rebound cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited.

Minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy meeting indicated that the central bank would likely raise short-term rates in the near term considering a strengthening economy. However, the minutes also showed that some Fed officials believe weak inflation may persist longer than expected.

Therefore, as long as 0.9870 is not surpassed, look for a new drop to 0.9765 and even to 0.9735 in extension.
