Technical analysis of USD/CHF for January 22, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to trade in a range. It is undermined by the franc demand on cross trades versus major currencies. But CHF sentiment is dented by the drop in Switzerland ZEW-Credit Suisse indicator of economic sentiment to minus 10.8 in January from minus 4.9 in December. USD/CHF downside is also limited by the positive dollar sentiment and negative Swiss interest rates and threat of SNB CHF-selling intervention.

Technical comment:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is in bearish mode, but stochastics is neutral.
