USD/CHF Swinging back and forth around 0.9500


After suffering sharp downfall the USD/CHF pair reversed the trend in mid February. Currently the price is hovering around the psychological 0.9500 hurdle also 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of latest October 2017 to February bearish run. Bulls had tried to push higher and tested several times the 0.9550 area but it seems that do not have enough power to break-out to further highs and after have been swinging back and forth returned to the sheltered area around 0.9500.
While the short term bullish outlook develops, the long term remains bearish. The Swiss Frank has taken a break, but on the other hand the greenback is gathering strength having DXY at some 90 and the upcoming Fed’s rate hike. From this viewpoint to confirm a bullish continuation the pair should leave the inhabited area and to turn it into support and fight the 0.9550 level.  
Alternatively the swing-low at 0 .9480 could open the doors for testing 0.9420 and in case this happens the bearish tonality will sound again. However I hope this undecided situation to come to an end next days having generous macro data from both sides and a new catalyst to set more clear direction.
