Technical analysis of USD/CHF for August 4, 2014

Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in a lower range. It is undermined by the weaker USD sentiment. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by the franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross and dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy. The daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, five and 15-day moving averages are advancing but stochastics is turned bearish in the overbought zone.
