USD / CHF falls to multi-day lows around 0.9220 level ahead of Fed

  • USD / CHF is witnessing some selling for the third day in a row on Wednesday.
  • A subdued action around the USD seems to be the only factor putting some pressure.
  • A combination of factors should help limit losses before the FOMC’s key decision.

The pair USD/CHF has moved lower during the first half of the European session on Wednesday and has fallen to four-day lows around the 0.9220 region in the last hour.

The pair has extended the fall of this week’s retracement, from the 0.9330-35 region, the highest level since April 6, and has seen some continuation selling for the third day in a row on Wednesday. The decline lacks an obvious catalyst and could be attributed solely to a subdued action in the price of the US dollar amid a repositioning trade before the FOMC’s crucial monetary policy decision.

That said, a combination of factors could extend some support to the USD / CHF pair and help limit any deeper losses ahead of the central bank key event.
