Before Getting to USDCHF Technical Analysis…
The after effects of US election results which announce Donald Trump as president carried on well into Wednesday with an astonishing outcome: The US dollar actually started getting stronger across the board.

One resaon behind this could be because other countries took the news harder than the US. Which resulted in a weaker currency on their end, ultimately pushing the USD higher. Another reason could be the fact the Donald avoided his usual rhetoric during his acceptance speech. Thich made the markets feel less fearful of his temperament. His speech was surprisingly graceful which may have relieved US investors a little bit.

The pair now has a thicker Ichimoku cloud to break below which could give the bears a harder challenge.
US Economic Outlook
Overall, the US economy appears to be in good shape. The rebound in Q3 GDP growth was good, although consumer spending did weaken a bit. Other than GDP growth, the most recent inflation readings are also kind of impressive. While NFP numbers have been missing expectations for three months, they are still above the 100K floor that many Fed officials are keeping an eye on. They’re therefore still relatively good.
With this, the next big thing out of the US could be a potential interest rate hike within 2016. The Fed said it has a high possibility in their November FOMC statement.
The Fed didn’t mentioned the US presidential elections (and a Trump victory in particular) as a risk factor during the November FOMC statement. So with the shocking strength in USD after announcement of Trump presidency, Invest Divas are eager to know what the next Fed move is.
