USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9915; (P) 0.9935; (R1) 0.9958;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral at this point. On the upside, break of 1.0008 resistance will indicate that pull back from 1.0128 has completed. Intraday bias would be turned back to the upside for retesting 1.0128 first. On the downside, below 0.9862 will target 0.9848 support first. Sustained break there will confirm near term reversal and target 61.8% retracement of 0.9541 to 1.0128 at 0.9765 and below.
In the bigger picture, rise from 0.9541 could have topped at 1.0128. But as long as 0.9541 support holds, we’d still expect rise from 0.9186 to resume at a later stage. Break of 1.0128 will target 1.0342 key resistance. However, break of 0.9514 will pave the way back to 0.9186 low.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2616; (P) 1.2651; (R1) 1.2694;
GBP/USD is staying in consolidation from 1.2476 and intraday bias remains neutral for now. Further recovery cannot be ruled out. But upside should be limited by 1.2811 resistance to bring fall resumption. On the downside, break of 1.2476 will extend larger down trend from 1.4376 to 61.8% projection of 1.4376 to 1.2661 from 1.3174 at 1.2114. However, firm break of 1.2811 will be an early signal of trend reversal and turn focus back to 1.3174 resistance.
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. The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend from 2.1161 (2007 high). And this will now remain the preferred case as long as 1.3174 structural resistance holds. GBP/USD should now target a test on 1.1946 first. Decisive break there will confirm our bearish view.
