USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9997; (P) 1.0021; (R1) 1.0040;
With 0.9982 minor support intact, intraday bias stays on the upside for further rally. Sustained trading above 1.0037 will pave the way to 1.0342 key resistance next. On the downside, though, below 0.9982 minor support will indicate short term topping, on bearish divergence condition in 4 hour MACD. And, in that case, deeper retreat could be seen, possibly to trend line support (now at 0.9731) before staging another rally.
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 0.9648 resistance turned support holds, even in case of pull back.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3489; (P) 1.3541; (R1) 1.3598;
Consolidation from 1.3485 is still in progress and intraday bias in GBP/USD remains neutral. Another recovery could be seen. But upside is expected to be limited by 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.3485 at 1.3825 to bring fall resumption. Break of 1.3485 will resume the fall from 1.4376 to 1.3448 fibonacci level 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, on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4223). Deeper decline should be seen to 38.2% retracement of 1.1936 (2016 low) to 1.4376 at 1.3448 first. Break will target 61.8% retracement at 1.2874 and below. Outlook will stay bearish as long as 55 day EMA (now at 1.3925) holds, even in case of strong rebound.
