USD/CHF levels ahead of the FED
The
pair today peaked during the Asian session at 0.9741 but then turned to
the downside and dropped to 0.9710/15. The lows are being tested but
greenback so far is holding above. Under 0.9710 the next support levels
is seen around 0.9700, where yesterday’s lows are located. A break lower
would expose an uptrend line originated at April lows that currently
stand around 0.9680.
On the opposite direction, a short-term
downtrend line from last week highs is seen at 0.9730/40; a break higher
could give enough momentum to the US dollar to resume last week rally,
exposing 0.9790/0.9800.
The Federal Reserve will announce its
decision at 18:00 GMT. No change in rates is expected but the tone and
the words of the statement are likely to impact on the forex market,
particularly in the dollar and the yen.
