USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9696; (P) 0.9732; (R1) 0.9778;
At this point, USD/CHF is limited below 0.9775 minor resistance. Intraday bias stays neutral first. With 0.9775 intact, another decline is mildly in favor. On the downside, break of 0.9651 will target 200% projection of 1.0067 to 0.9866 from 0.9981 at 0.8579 next. However, Firm break of 0.9775 will be an early sign of near term reversal. That is, fall from 1.0067 could have completed. In this case, further rally would be seen back to 0.9866 support turned resistance for confirmation.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that rise from 0.9186 low has completed at 1.0067, after failing to sustain above 1.0037 resistance. Fall from 1.0067 could extend to 61.8% retracement of 0.9816 to 1.0067 at 0.9523 and below. But for now, we don’t expect a break of 0.9186 low. On the upside, firm break of 0.9866 support turned resistance will suggests that fall from 1.0067 has completed and rise from 0.9186 is resuming.
GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2814; (P) 1.2851; (R1) 1.2890;
Intraday bias in GBP/USD remains on the downside at this point. The corrective rebound from 1.2661 should have completed at 1.3042. Deeper fall would be seen to retest 1.2661 first. Decisive break there will resume larger down trend from 1.4376. On the upside, above 1.2932 minor resistance will extend the correction from 1.2661 with another rise, possibly through 1.3042 resistance. But in that case, upside should be limited by 1.3316 fibonacci level to finish the rebound and bring near term reversal.
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 (now at 1.4099). The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.
