Focus Chart of the Day: USD/CHF
As we made mention on Monday, the next 24-36 hours or so look important for the Euro from a short-term cyclical perspective. This logic extends to USD/CHF as well as the exchange rate has some interesting Fibonacci time relationships of its own converging over the next day or so. A reversal of some kind looks possible during this time especially if the rate can continue to hold above key support near .8850 (2013 closing low). A settle over .8900 would be further evidence of at least a near-term bottom.
