USD/CHF has recently also broken above a Triangle chart pattern so Friday’s reversal could be a temporary pullback from a technical point of view.
The pivot level falls on the 23% Fibonacci retracement level. A break below this could kick the pair back inside the triangle once again.
Also keep in mind that USD/CHF has a habit of consolidating over the long-term time fram as seen in the monthly chart.

Fundamentals
The US dollar lost major ground as US elections were shaken by an FBI announcement about Hillary Clinton’s email. While there seems to be no major findings or anything of significance, the markets got too nervous and showed us a glimpse of what would really happen in case of a Trump victory in this US elections. The USD/CHF turned down from our resistance of 0.9950 towards the pivot level of 0.9850.
This week could be incredibly volatile for the USD crosses especially if the FBI fail to provide any positive information about the emails, in which case we could see further dips in the US dollar.
More on the economic calendar, we have the US Personal Consumption Expenditure released at 12:30 PM GMT which could also impact the USD.

Trading Strategy | USDCHF Fails to Break Above Resistance
Putting the technical, fundamental and sentimental points of the IDDA approach together, we have a mixed bias as USDCHF fails to break above resistance level.

Depending on your risk tolerance, you could consider range trading and taking advantage of this week’s potential volatility. First target is set at 0.9950 while higher risk target is set at 1.0055.
Bearish Scenario:
Again this needs to be a short-term strategy with low leverage depending on your risk tolerance. First target is set at 0.9850 and next is the upper band of the Ichimoku cloud.
