Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with bullish bias after hitting three-and-a-half month high at 0.8982 on Tuesday. It is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment, franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross and on buoyant EUR/CHF cross and dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy stance. But CHF sentiment are soothed as Switzerland trade surplus widened to CHF2.4 billion in April from CHF2 billion in March. Daily chart is positive-biased as bullish outside-day-range pattern was completed on Tuesday; MACD and stochastics are bullish, although the latter is at overbought zone, five and 15-day moving averages are advancing.
