Talking Points:

  • USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support:0.9388, 0.9293, 0.9139
  • Resistance: 0.9599, 0.9723, 0.9877

The Swiss Franc following the appearance of a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 0.9388 exposes the 23.6% level at 0.9293. Alternatively, a rebound above the 0.9534-99 area (trend line, 50% Fib expansion) clears the way for a test of the 61.8% threshold at 0.9723.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
