Looking ahead on Monday, USDCHF looks bullish as the pair ended higher after Friday trading session.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 0.89949 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 0.89057. On the downside, we are looking at week low 0.88197 or 0.88165 (WS1) as immediate support level. USDCHF need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below week low of 0.88197 would indicate selling pressure.
