The pair is expected to find support at 0.9728, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 0.9680. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 0.9811, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 0.9846.

With a lack of macroeconomic releases in Switzerland today, investor sentiment would be governed by global macroeconomic news.

The currency pair is trading above its 20 Hr and 50 Hr moving averages.
