USD/CHF is under pressure. The pair remains under pressure below its key resistance at 0.9740, which should limit the upside potential. Meanwhile, the relative strength index is around its neutrality area at 50, and is mixed to bearish. Even though a technical rebound cannot be ruled out at the current stage, its extent should be limited. On Wednesday, U.S. indices closed mixed with the Nasdaq posting a four-day winning streak. Shares in the Technology Hardware & Equipment and Transportation sectors traded higher while shares in the Household & Personal Products, Automobiles & Components and Food, Beverage & Tobacco sectors were under pressure.
