Last weekend, the U.S. dollar rose against the Swiss franc. The USD/CHF pair rose from 0.8198 to 0.8249. It traded within the range of the +2σ to -2σ Bollinger Bands on the hourly chart.On the 4-hour chart, the pair is facing resistance at the 10-period moving average (MA), and on the daily chart, it has been unable to break through the resistance zone formed by the 20-period MA. We will be watching to see if the U.S. dollar continues to strengthen during European trading hours.
European currencies saw the euro fall against the U.S. dollar after Germany’s consumer price index, released on May 30, remained unchanged from the previous month at 2.1% year-over-year.
