Fundamental Analysis of USD/CHF for June 2, 2017

USD/CHF has been recently in a corrective structure between 0.9700-0.9750 area. Recently CHF had negative economic reports like KOF Economic Barometer which was released with a worse figure at 101.6 which was expected to be at 106.2, GDP was released with a worse figure at 0.3% which was expected to rise to 0.5% from the previous figure of 0.2% and Retail Sales report was released with much worst figure at -1.2% which was expected to rise to 2.4% from previous 2.1%. Despite CHF having a good number of important economic events, the currency has managed to gain some strength over USD recently after the correction but failed to continue yesterday as of the positive USD ADP non-farm Employment Change report which showed a rise to 253k which was expected to rise to 181k from 174k previously. Today on the USD side, we have a number of high impact economic events like Average Hourly Earnings report is expected to show a fall to 0.2% from 0.3% previously, Unemployment Rate is expected to be unchanged at 4.4% and Non-Farm Employment Change is expected to decline to 181k from the previous figure of 211k. Though the Non-Farm Employment Change is expected to decline today as of ADP reports Non-Farm Employment Change has higher chances of release with a positive figure which will strengthen the growth of USD against CHF in the coming days.

Now let us look at the technical view, the price has shown a false break downwards after breaking below corrective structure support level at 0.9700. Currently, the price is residing between the corrective structure and a daily close above 0.9750 and daily close below 0.9700 will only enclose the upcoming move in this pair. As of the positive reports on the USD side evolving recently, it is expected that the price has higher chances of breaking upward above 0.9750 level with an upper target towards 0.9960 resistance area but if the price rejects off the corrective structure resistance 0.9750 or breaks below 0.9700 with a daily close below it then we will be looking forward to selling with a target towards 0.9550 support area.
