Talking Points:

  • USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Long at 0.9068
  • Support:0.9017, 0.8957, 0.8908
  • Resistance: 0.9054, 0.9110, 0.9189

The US Dollar pushed higher against the Swiss Franc as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.9114, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 0.9175. Alternatively, reversal below support in the 0.9017-22 area marked by the 23.6% Fib retracement and a rising trend line set from early May clears the way for a challenge of the 38.2% barrier at 0.8957.

We entered long USDCHF at 0.9068, initially targeting 0.9114. A stop-loss is set to trigger on a daily close below 0.9017. We will take profit on half of the trade and move to stop-loss to the breakeven level once the first objective is reached.
