Forex: USD/CHF flat above 0.9650 awaits US data
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - USD/CHF is last at 0.9654, unchanged for the Asia-Pacific, off recent session highs at 0.9670. The pair is flat for last 8 hours, inside a tight 28 pip range, with lows at 0.8542, printed at the Tokyo open, before rebounding from there to mentioned session highs.

Immediate support to the downside for USD/CHF lies at mentioned recent session/yesterday's lows 0.9656, followed by Friday's highs at 0.9629, and Monday's highs at 0.9596. To the upside, closest resistance shows at recent session/Tuesday's highs 0.9670/76, followed by July 27 2012 lows at 0.9691, and yesterday's fresh 9-month highs at 0.9750.
