USD/CHF lost more than 100 pips in the previous session, due to the downbeat US inflation data. The USD/CHF pair extends the losses, trading near 0.8870 during the European session on Wednesday.

A decisive break below the latter could push the USD/CHF pair to reach the support region near 0.8800 psychological level lined up with September’s low at 0.8795.

The technical indicators for the USD/CHF pair reveal a bearish outlook. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) below the 50 level indicates downward pressure, signaling a bearish momentum and reflecting a weaker market sentiment.

On the upside, the psychological level at 0.8900 appears as the immediate resistance, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.8922. A firm break above the level could inspire the USD/CHF pair to explore the next resistance around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.8986.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, although below the centerline, is positioned above the signal line. This suggests a somewhat tepid momentum in the USD/CHF pair, indicating a less pronounced bearish sentiment.

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.
