Talking Points:

  • USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Long at 0.9068
  • Support:0.9175, 0.9114, 0.9060
  • Resistance: 0.9223, 0.9272, 0.9332

The US Dollar pushed higher against the Swiss Franc as expectedafter putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.9223, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 0.9272. Alternatively, reversal below the 38.2% Fib at 0.9175 clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% expansion at 0.9114.

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.
