USD/CHF Technical Analysis: Intraday bullish run-up pauses ahead of a confluence resistance
• The pair caught some strong bids on Tuesday and rallied hard, back closer to the very important 200-day SMA support break-point, now turned resistance near mid-0.9700s.
• The mentioned hurdle coincides with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the 1.0068-0.9652 recent downfall and thus, becomes a key trigger for any further positive momentum.
• Should the pair fail to break through the mentioned barrier, the ongoing up-move would be categorized as a short-covering bounce and runs the risk of being sold into.
