FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/CHF for November 27, 2014

Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in a higher range. It is undermined by the weaker dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 87.67 versus 87.89 early Wednesday) after more-than-expected 313,000 U.S. jobless claims in week ended Nov. 22 (versus forecast 289,000); larger-than-expected drop in ISM-Chicago PMI to 60.8 in November from October's 66.2 (versus forecast 64.0); less-than-expected 0.2% increase in U.S. October personal income (versus forecast +0.4%) and 0.2% increase in spending (versus forecast +0.3%). But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the ultra-loose Swiss National Bank's monetary policy.

Technical comments:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish but stochastics is neutral.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a higher range as far as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price is keeping above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.9665 and the second target at 0.970. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9575. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.9545. The pivot point is at 0.9610.
