USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9874; (P) 0.9923; (R1) 1.0022;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains on the upside for 1.0056 high. Decisive break there will resume larger rise fro 0.9186 and target 1.0342 key resistance next. On the downside, below 0.9894 minor support will turn bias neutral and could extend the correction from 1.0056 for a while.
In the bigger picture, medium term decline from 1.0342 has completed with three waves down to 0.9186. Rise from there is currently viewed as a leg inside the long term range pattern. Hence, while further rally would be seen, we’d be cautious on strong resistance from 1.0342 to limit upside. For now, further rise is expected as long as 38.2% retracement of 0.9186 to 1.0056 at 0.9724 holds. However, sustained break of 0.9724 will dampen this bullish view and would at least bring deeper fall to 61.8% retracement at 0.9518.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3196; (P) 1.3321; (R1) 1.3384;
The break of 1.3307 reaffirmed the case that correction from 1.3203 has completed. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.3203 first. Break there will resume the decline from 1.4376 and through 50% retracement of 1.1946 to 1.4376 at 1.3161 first, and 61.8% retracement at 1.2875 next. For now, outlook remains bearish as long as 1.3471 resistance holds, in case of recovery.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that whole medium term rebound from 1.1936 (2016 low) has completed at 1.4376 already, with trend line broken firmly, on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4223). 61.8% retracement of 1.1936 (2016 low) to 1.4376 at 1.2874 is the next target. We’ll pay attention to the reaction from there to asses the chance of long term down trend resumption. For now, outlook will stay bearish as long as 1.3617 resistance holds, even in case of strong rebound.
