USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9818; (P) 0.9871; (R1) 0.9900
USD/CHF’s fall extends to as low as 0.9835 so far and intraday bias remains on the downside. Current decline from 1.0067 should be seen to 100% projection of 1.0067 to 0.9866 from 0.9981 at 0.9780 and possibly below. But fall from 1.0067 is seen as the third leg of the consolidation pattern from 1.0056. Hence, we’d expect strong support from 38.2% retracement of 0.9186 to 1.0056 at 0.9724 to bring rebound. On the upside, break of 0.9981 will bring retest of 1.0067 resistance.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that the consolidation pattern from 1.0056 is extending. 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.
EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1501; (P) 1.1551 (R1) 1.1623
EUR/USD’s rebound form 1.1300 is still in progress and reaches as high as 1.1600 so far. Intraday bias remains on the upside for further rally. But upside should be limited by 1.1745 resistance to bring larger down trend resumption. On the downside, break of 1.1493 minor support will suggest that the rebound is completed. Intraday bias would be turned back to the downside for retesting 1.1300 low.
In the bigger picture, the down trend from 1.2555 medium term is in progress for 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186. Note again that EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. That carries some long term bearish implications. Sustained break of 1.1186 could pave the way back to retest 1.0339 low. For now, outlook will remain bearish as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.2555 to 1.1300 at 1.1779 holds, even in case of strong rebound.
