USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9929; (P) 0.9959; (R1) 0.9983;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral fir the moment. With 0.9894 minor support intact, another rise is in favor. The corrective fall from 1.0056 should have completed at 0.9787. Above 0.9989 will bring retest of 1.0056 first. Break will resume the rise from 0.9186 and target 61.8% projection of 0.9186 to 1.0056 from 0.9787 at 1.0325, which is close to 1.0342 key resistance. However, break of 0.9894 will likely extend the correction, possibly through 0.9787 before completion.
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) 1.3220; (P) 1.3253; (R1) 1.3279;
Intraday bias in GBP/USD is turned neutral as a temporary low is formed at 1.3210, just ahead of 1.3203. Some more consolidations could be seen. But upside of recovery should be limited below 1.3471 resistance. Break of 1.3203 will finally confirm resumption of larger decline from 1.4376. In that case, GBP/USD should target 50% retracement of 1.1946 to 1.4376 at 1.3161 first, and 61.8% retracement at 1.2875 next.
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 1.4182). 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.
