USD/CHF picks up bids to 0.9020, up 0.10% on a day, ahead of Tuesday’s European session. In doing so, the Swiss currency pair stretches the previous day’s corrective pullback from late February lows.

However, the quote remains below multiple strong supports, now resistances, amid the sluggish Momentum, which in turn suggests the USD/CHF weakness going forward.

Among the key resistances, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of January-April upside near 0.9030 becomes immediate to cross for the pair buyers ahead of a downward sloping trend line from March 11, around 0.9045.

Should USD/CHF bulls manage to cross 0.9045 support-turned-resistance line, 200-day SMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement level, respectively around 0.9085 and 0.9115 will be the key to watch.

Meanwhile, the pair’s fresh weakness will need to break the 0.9000 threshold before targeting the 0.8925-30 a four-month-old horizontal support zone.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
