Overview:
USD/CHF is consolidating with bearish bias after hitting eight-day low of 0.9219 on Friday. The rate is undermined by spillover from EUR strength on CHF. But USD/CHF losses tempered by CHF sales on buoyant EUR/CHF cross. Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, but stochastic is in bearish mode.

Alternative scenario:
Sell below 0.9215. Below 0.9215 look for further downside with 0.918 and 0.916 as targets.
