EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1579; (P) 1.1604 (R1) 1.1634;
At this point, EUR/USD is staying in consolidation from 1.1509. Further rise cannot be ruled out as the consolidation extends. But even in case of stronger than expected rebound, upside should be limited by 1.1851 to bring down trend resumption eventually. On the downside, decisive break of 1.1507 key support will resume larger down trend from 1.2555 through 50% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1447.
In the bigger picture, EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. And, a medium term top was formed at 1.2555 already. Decline from there should extend further to 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186 and below. For now, even in case of rebound, we won’t consider the fall from 1.2555 as finished as long as 1.1995 resistance holds.
USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9916; (P) 0.9943; (R1) 0.9959;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral at this point. With 0.9920 minor support intact, further rise remains mildly in favor. ON the upside, break of 0.9984 will target a test on 1.0067 key resistance next. On the downside, break of 0.9920 minor support will turn bias to the downside, to bring another decline to extend the consolidation pattern from 1.0056.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that the consolidation pattern from 1.0056 is extending with another leg. As long as 38.2% retracement of 0.9186 to 1.0056 at 0.9724 holds, we’d expect rise from 0.9186 to resume at a later stage to retest 1.0342 key resistance (2016 high). However, sustained break of 0.9724 fibonacci level will bring deeper fall, as another declining leg in the long term range pattern.
