Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with a bullish bias after hitting a six-day high 0.9559 on Thursday. It is supported by the positive USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 85.82 versus 85.75 early Thursday) after four-week moving average for U.S. jobless claims fell 3,000 to 281,000 on week ended October 18, its lowest level since May 2000. Dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy is taken into account as well. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the franc demand on buoyant CHF/JPY cross and positions adjustment before the weekend.

Technical comments:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish, but stochastics is rising from the oversold zone.
