USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Greenback resilient against Swiss Franc as the USD bulls are back above 0.9900 figure for now

USD/CHF is in a bull trend as the market is trading above the 50 and 100-period simple moving averages (SMA).
USD/CHF has rebounded from 0.9868 support as bulls seem unwilling to let go of the bull trend. However, the MACD is in negative territories and is signaling that the pullback down might not be over just yet.
In the absence of a significant breakout above 0.9950, USD/CHF is set to trade sideways to down towards 0.9891 (October 4 low), 0.9868 (July 31 low) and 0.9807 (August 22 low ).
