Further, resistance resides at the 1.0100 level and subsequently the 1.0150 level. Its weekly RSI has turned higher supporting this view.

Further down, support resides at the 0.9700 level. All in all, having halted its weakness to close higher the past week, USDCHF looks for more strength on recovery in the new week.
