USD/CHF trapped between 50-DMA and 100-DMA; US dollar uptrend 'seems' alive

Currently, USD/CHF is trading at 1.0070, up +0.10% or 10-pips on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.0118 and low at 1.0056.

Today's US economic docket added the necessary elements to boost the greenback to higher highs in a much-anticipated trading week. Furthermore, a steady Consumer Price Index (YoY) figure at 2.5% spiced things enough for the American dollar vs. Swiss franc as markets participants moved away from 'safe-havens' to take more risk jumping into the dollar-long narrative.

Historical data available for traders and investors indicates during the last 7-weeks that USD/CHF pair had the best trading day at +0.80% (Jan.6) or 81-pips, and the worst at -1.05% (Jan.5) or (105)-pips.
