Fundamental overview:

USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting three-week low 0.9358 on Wednesday. It is weighed by the negative USD sentiment and franc demand on soft EUR/CHF, GBP/CHF and CAD/CHF crosses. But CHF sentiment is dented by the drop in Switzerland ZEW-Credit Suisse indicator of economic sentiment to minus 30.7 in October--the weakest reading since September 2012--from minus 7.7 in September. USD/CHF losses are also tempered by the dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy.

Technical comments:
Daily chart is negative-biased as bearish outside-day-range pattern was completed on Wednesday, MACD and stochastics are bearish, five-day moving average is below 15-day MA and is declining.
