Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in a lower range. USD/CHF gains are tempered by the franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross. USD/CHF losses are restricted by the positive dollar sentiment (VIX fear gauge eased 12.74% to 21.99; S&P 500 closed up 1.29% at 1,886.76 Friday) after surprise rise in University of Michigan preliminary U.S. October consumer sentiment index to 86.4 from the final September reading of 84.6 (versus forecast 84.0) and stronger-than-expected 6.3% on-month increase in U.S. September housing starts (versus forecast +4.6%), dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy and franc sales on buoyant GBP/CHF cross.

Technical comments:
