Talking Points:

  • USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Long at 0.9068
  • Support:0.9463, 0.9401, 0.9299
  • Resistance: 0.9564, 0.9646, 0.9728

The Swiss Franc may be preparing to launch a recovery against the US Dollar after prices put in a Shooting Star candlestick. Near-term support is at 0.9463, the 23.6%Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 0.9401-03 area marked by the September 19 close and the 14.6% level. Alternatively, a push above the 38.2% Fib at 0.9564 clears the way for a test of the 50% expansion at 0.9646.

We entered long USDCHF at 0.9068 and have since taken profit on half of our exposure. The rest remains open to capture any further upside momentum with a stop-loss at 0.9114, our initial objective.
