The USD/CHF tested the resistance level at 1.0200 vigorously, but it was unable to break it to the upside. There is now a slight dip in the market, but with further strength in the USD, the resistance level could be breached to the upside. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the price may test the support lines at 1.0100 and 1.0050 this week.

EUR/USD: This pair trended downwards last week, going below the support line at 1.1800, but unable to close below that line. There is now a slight upwards bounce in the market, which could be the beginning of a medium-term buying pressure in the market. The resistance line at 1.1950 could be challenged.

USD/CHF: The USD/CHF tested the resistance level at 1.0200 vigorously, but it was unable to break it to the upside.
