USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9806; (P) 0.9832; (R1) 0.9857;
A temporary low is in place at 0.9807 in USD/CHF and intraday bias is turned neutral first. For now, deeper fall could be seen as long as 0.9889 minor resistance holds. Below 0.9807 will target 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, above 0.9889 will turn bias to the upside for 0.9981 resistance first. Break will bring retest of 1.0067 high.
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.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2876; (P) 1.2906; (R1) 1.2944;
A temporary top is in place at 1.2935 with the current retreat. Intraday bias in GBP/USD is turned neutral first. Rebound from 1.2661 is seen as a corrective move. We’d expect upside to be limited by 1.2956 support turned resistance to bring larger down trend resumption. On the downside, below 1.2811 minor support will turn bias to the downside for retesting 1.2661 low first. However, decisive break of 1.2956 will turn focus to 1.3212 key resistance instead.
In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 1.1946 (2016 low) should have completed at 1.4376 already, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4091). Current downside acceleration argues that it’s possibly resuming long term down trend. In any case, outlook will stay bearish as long as 1.3212 resistance holds. Retest of 1.1946 should be seen next.
