USD/CHF- In this 4 hour chart we noticed a previous support line acting as a resistance line in the latest trend. Although not defined, the level around this line seems to bring resistance. The next resistance level on this line comes in at 1.1795/1.1800, and support on the current trend touches at 1.1660/50. The resistance line maybe short lived given the continued bid U.S. dollar. Tonight the Swiss will release GDP numbers which are expected to come in at -0.9%. If the actual numbers show contraction in the economy we may see the CHF get sold off.
