U.S. Congress reached a deal on spending bill yesterday, effectively averting government shutdown. That saw some mild U.S. dollar strength in the first hours of trading.

Swissie is trading near the middle of a declining wedge pattern, right at 200 DMA. I expect it to stay in equilibrium at least until the new French president is known. After that, direction will depend on risk sentiment. 0.985 - 0.99 is the initial support and 1.00 - 1.005 the resistance.
