The bid tone on the CHF remains intact, which pushed the USD/CHF pair below 0.9902 (50% of 0.9476-1.0328).

Rejected at 38.2% fib


The pair fell to 0.9902 last week, followed by a recovery and failure to take out 1.00 (38.2% of 0.7476-1.0328) on a daily closing basis. Fresh offers hit the pair after it failed to sustain above 1.00 on Tuesday and fell to 0.9902 levels today.

The CHF’s regional safe haven status helped it strengthen amid risk-off in the equities. The traders now await the SNB decision due tomorrow. The bank is widely expected to keep key policy tools unchanged.
