Like the GBPUSD and the USDJPY, the USDCHF is near/testing the 100 day MA today at the 1.0269 level (blue line in the chart above).  The high extended above the key level to a high of 1.0284, but the price has since fallen back below.  Also of note is the 1.0272 level which is the 38.2% resistance of the move down from the December high to the November low.  A move above both these levels, should be a signal for a resumption of the bullish bias for the pair to the upside. 

Watch the level closely today.  Upside targets on a break will take the pair toward the 1.0316 (50% retracement level) and the trendline at 1.0334. 

On the downside, should the price hold the key resistance, look for a move to test the 100 bar MA on the 5 minute chart at the 1.0250 level. This moving average has held support today and will be watched closely by market technicians.
