. USD/CHF - 0.9646... Despite a brief recovery to 0.9601 in Australia on Mon, intra-day selloff in dlr/yen led to broad-based usd's weakness n pressured price to 0.9553 in Asian morning. However, dlr quickly pared its losses n rose to 0.9624 in Europe n then to session high of 0.9652 in NY morning.
. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, despite y'day's retreat to 0.9553, subsequent strg rebound suggests the 1st leg of correction fm Nov's fresh 1-year peak at 0.9742 has ended there n consolidation with upside bias wud be seen. Abv res 0.9689 (last Fri's high) wud add credence to this view n extend gain to 0.9700 (last Tue's top), however, aforesaid peak may hold initially n yield more choppy consolidation. On the downside, only below 0.9553 wud indicate the corrective decline fm 0.9742 has resumed instead n turn outlook bearish for further weakness twds 0.9511 (prev. res, now sup).
. Today, in view of near term bullish bias, we are buying dlr on dips for gain to 0.9700 n only below 0.9574 (Fri's low) wud indicate recovery fm y'day's low at 0.9553 has ended n risk re-test of this lvl later.
