USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9961; (P) 0.9981; (R1) 0.9994; .
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral as consolidation from 1.0056 continues. Deeper pull back could be seen. But we’d expect strong support from trend line (now at 0.9807) to contain downside to bring rebound. On the upside, firm break of 1.0056 will confirm rise resumption for 1.0342 key resistance.
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.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3385; (P) 1.3435; (R1) 1.3478;
As long as 1.3568 minor resistance holds, deeper decline is expected in GBP/USD. Current fall from 1.4376 should target 0% retracement of 1.1946 to 1.4376 at 1.3161. Though, break of 1.3568 will indicate short term bottoming and bring stronger rebound first.
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). 38.2% retracement of 1.1936 (2016 low) to 1.4376 at 1.3448 should now be firmly taken out. Next target will be 61.8% retracement at 1.2874 and below. Outlook will stay bearish as long as 55 day EMA (now at 1.3801) holds, even in case of strong rebound.
