The USD/CHF depicts the pair as downward biased, though set to consolidate nearby the 0.8900 figure. During the session, the USD/CHF dropped from around 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement (FR) toward the 78.6% FR level but failed to surpass 0.8900, which would have exacerbated additional losses and a YTD low test of 0.8819.
