. USD/CHF - 0.9410 ... U.S. dollar ratcheted higher against Swiss franc fm last Mon's low at 0.9284 n price rose to fresh one-month high at 0.9535 on Fri due to active cross selling in chf (eur/chf rose fm 1.0664 to 1.0812), however, profit-taking knocked price lower to 0.9372 in late NY on Fri.

. The broad outlook remains the same as recent updates. Despite dlr's free fall fm Jan's fresh 2-1/2 yr peak of 1.0240 to a 4-month trough of 0.7360 after SNB dropped the 1.20 franc cap, subsequent swift bounce had left a spike bottom formation on the daily chart. Although euro's strg retreat from last Fri's fresh 1-month high at 0.9535 suggests the erratic upmove fm Jan's 4-month low at 0.7360 has formed a temp. top n choppy consolidation wud be seen for a retrace to 0.9292 n possibly twds 0.9176 this week, however, reckon 0.9140 (being 38.2% r of intermediate rise fm 0.8500) shud contain downside n yield rebound. Abv 0.9535 wud bring further gain twds 0.9576 (61.8% proj. of 0.8600-0.9247 fm 0.9176) but 0.9673 (50% projection of 0.9352-0.9347 fm 0.9176) wud cap upside.

. Today, in view of near term bearish scenario on dlr, selling on recovery is favoured. Only abv 0.9500 wud revive bullishness for re-test of 0.9535.
