Moving ahead, market participants would closely monitor Switzerland’s SECO consumer confidence index and the SVME-PMI, both for January along with the nation’s real retail sales for December, set to release in a few hours.

The currency pair is showing convergence with its 20 Hr moving average and trading below its 50 Hr moving average.
