USD/CHF remains on the front foot around 0.8920, reversing the previous day’s losses heading into Thursday’s European session.

In doing so, the Swiss Franc (CHF) pair pierces the top line of the one-week-old descending triangle bullish chart formation.

Adding strength to the USD/CHF upside bias is the quote’s clear rebound from the stated triangle’s lower line, by forming double bottom near 0.8865, as well as the firmer but not overbought RSI (14) line.

With this, the USD/CHF pair appears well set to approach a downward-sloping resistance line from May 05, around 0.8950 by the press time.

However, the pair’s upside beyond 0.8950 may find it difficult amid the likely overbought RSI (14) line around then. Additionally challenging the USD/CHF bulls above 0.8950 is the monthly high of near 0.8995, quickly followed by the 0.9000 psychological magnet.

On the contrary, a one-week-old ascending trend line, close to 0.8880 at the latest, can act as short-term support in a case where the USD/CHF defies the latest triangle breakout by slipping back under 0.8915 level.

Even so, the stated triangle’s lower line of around 0.8865 can challenge the pair bears before directing them to the monthly low of 0.8820 and the 0.8800 round figure.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
