USD/CHF:

On the weekly, price is holding above ascending trendline support however, it is also at the descending trendline resistance, price might reverse back down and drop towards the ascending trendline support as there is also a strong Ichimoku cloud that might prevent the breakthrough of the resistance. Price is also between 1st resistance at 0.95124 and 1st support at 0.90262. Traders should watch these levels closely for a break to see prices swing higher or drop lower. On the Daily, price is seen to have a bullish momentum abiding to the daily  ascending trendline. We can expect the price to move towards the 1st resistance at 0.93683. With stochastics abiding to the ascending trendline, we can see that there is potential continuation of the bullish movement.

On the H4, price is seen to be reacting in between 1st Resistance 0.93496 and 1st Support 0.92826 and holding above the ascending trendline support,however, price failed to break through the 1st Resistance and hence, we can expect a short-term bearish drop towards the 1st support in line with 61.8% Fibonacci Projection. Our short-term bearish bias is further supported by the RSI indicator where it broke off the ascending trendline support.

Areas of consideration:

  • Watch 1st Support at 0.92826

We can expect the price to reverse back down to 1st support in line with 50% Fibonacci retracement and 61.8% FIbonacci Projection. Our short-term bearish bias is further supported by the stochastic indicator where the %K line touched the resistance awaiting for a drop.

On the H4 timeframe, price has just dropped from the 1st Resistance level and hence we can expect a continuation of the short -term bearish trend. We can expect price to reach the 1st support level in line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and 100% Fibonacci projection. Our short-term bearish bias is further supported by the stochastic indicator where the %K line dropped from the resistance level.

On the Weekly, price has been trading sideways between our 1st resistance at 37770 and 1st support at 35610.57. As there are no good risk reward levels, we prefer to remain neutral at this current juncture.
