The pair is expected to find support at 0.9870, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.9850. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.9909, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.9928.

With no macroeconomic releases in Switzerland today, investors would look forward to global macroeconomic releases for further directions.
