. USD/CHF - 0.9668... The pair met renewed buying at 0.9530 last Mon n continued its recent winning streak to a 3-month high of 0.9720 Thur. Price briefly tumbled to 0.9548 on Fri in NY morning b4 rebounding swiftly back to 0.9680.

. On the daily chart, dlr's rise abv previous Jul's 0.9651 high to 0.9720 last week suggests MT erratic upmove fm Mar's 3-month bottom at 0.9072 has resumed n price is en route to 0.9725 after minor consolidation, this is 'dynamic' 61.8% r of the early fall fm 1.0129 (Mar high), then 0.9784 (1.236 times extension of 0.9150-0.9517 fm 0.9330). However, as the daily oscillators' readings would be in o/bot territory on such move, reckon Apr's high at 0.9863 wud hold. On the downside, only below near term good sup at 0.9599/05 would be the 1st signal a temporary top has been made, then risk would shift to the downside for a long-overdue retracement twd 0.9526/30 b4 prospect of another rise.

. Today, despite dlr's intra-day cross-inspired decline in Europe on Fri n then a brief but sharp drop to 0.9548 in NY morning following a record-low rise in U.S. labour costs, subsequent rally back to 0.9680 suggests pullback is over, however, abv 0.9720/25 needed to extend MT upmove twd 0.9780/84.
