Levels to watch
The next resistance in the very short-term for USD/CHF might be seen at 0.9510/15, a horizontal level, and the 20-hour moving average. A recovery above should strengthen the US dollar. The next crucial level is 0.9550/55 (June 12 & 15 high). If the pair consolidates above 0.9555, another leg higher seems likely.
On the flip side, if the price drops back under 0.9500, the bearish pressure could rise. Support levels might lie at 0.9475, followed by 0.9445/50.
