FxWirePro- USDCHF Trade Idea

The currency pair declined more than 150 pips on board-based US dollar selling.  It hit a low of 0.88712 yesterday and is currently trading around 0.88850. The intraday bias appears to be bearish as long as the resistance 0.9000 holds. 

The Swiss Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February 2025 increased by 0.6% month-to-month to 107.4 points, higher than the predicted 0.5%, a stark contrast to January's 0.1% decline to 106.8 points and an annual inflation rate of 0.4%. The increase in CPI could have a potential effect on monetary policy and currency valuation, although the exact effects on the Swiss Franc (CHF) are not defined; after the release, the exchange rate of USD/CHF remained below 0.8900.

Market eyes US ADP employment and ISM services PMI for further direction.
