• 200-day SMA and multi-week-old resistance line hold the key to pair’s run-up towards 1.0000 mark.
• 0.9870 can entertain short-term sellers.

Based on its U-turn from 0.9870, the USD/CHF pair current takes the bids to the highest in eight-day while trading around 0.9940 during early Friday.

However, 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a downward sloping trend line since October-starts, around 0.9950 and 0.9965 respectively, stand tall to challenge buyers.
