USD/CHF consolidates recent gains around 0.9320 during early Tuesday, following two-day advances to poke October’s high.

In doing so, the Swiss currency (CHF) pair eases below a downward sloping trend line from early April. However, an ascending support line from November 09 and a firmer Momentum line favor USD/CHF buyers to aim for the 0.9340 immediate resistance.

On a daily closing beyond 0.9340, the previous month’s top of 0.9368 can act as an intermediate halt before directing the quote towards the yearly high, marked in April around 0.9475.

Meanwhile, the 0.9300 threshold will precede the stated immediate support line, near 0.9230, to challenge short-term USD/CHF sellers.

Additionally, July month’s high of 0.9275 and the 50-DMA level of 0.9231 offer extra tests for the pair sellers to pass ahead of retaking the controls.

To sum up, USD/CHF buyers can ignore the latest pullback moves.

Weekly focus: Some relief in US inflation concerns

Actual inflation data for July came out as expected with a 0.1% m/m increase in headline CPI and 0.2% excluding food and energy. Annual headline inflation remains too high at 3.4% and means that wage earners are experiencing stagnating spending power at best, and core inflation is a bit higher than the inflation target of two percent would suggest.
