USD/CHF rises to as high as 0.9994 so far today. The breach of 0.9991 resistance, with solid upside momentum as seen in 4 hour MACD, suggests an upside breakout. Intraday bias is cautiously on the upside for 1.0056 high next. Decisive break there will resume whole rally from 0.9186 for 1.0342 key resistance level. On the downside, however, below 0.9946 will dampen the bullish case and turn intraday bias neutral again. In that case, the corrective pattern from 1.0056 could extend with another falling leg through 0.9856 support before completion.
In the bigger picture, rise from 0.9186 is seen as a leg inside the long term range pattern. For now, further rise is expected as long as 38.2% retracement of 0.9186 to 1.0056 at 0.9724 holds. Above 1.0056 will target 1.0342 (2016 high). In that case, we’d be cautious on strong resistance from 1.0342 to limit upside. 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.
