Overview:
USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting a three-week low at 0.8749 on Thursday. It is undermined by the negative USD sentiment and franc demand on soft EUR/CHF cross. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the franc sales on weak CHF/JPY cross, dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy stance and positions adjustment before weekend. Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD and stochastics is bearish, five-day moving average is below 15-day MA and is declining.
