FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/CHF for May 28, 2015

Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to consolidate in a lower range after hitting almost a monthly high of 0.9545 on Wednesday. It is undermined by the franc demand on cross trades versus major currencies. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the positive dollar sentiment, the negative Swiss interest rates, and the threat of the Swiss National Bank to carry out CHF-selling intervention.
