USD/CHF edged higher to 1.0107 last week but retreated since then. The retreat from there is contained above 0.9980 support and thus, bullish outlook is maintained. That is corrective from 1.0342 has completed with three waves down to 0.9812. And, rise from 0.9548 is resuming.
Initial bias in USD/CHF remains neutral this week first. Break of 1.0107 will turn bias to the upside for 1.0169 resistance. Break there should confirm our bullish view and should target a test on 1.0342 key resistance next. However, below 0.9980 will dampen this bullish case and turn bias back to the downside for 0.9812 low.
In the bigger picture, we’re still maintaining that firm break of 1.0342 key resistance is needed to confirm underlying bullish momentum in the cross. However, the corrective nature of the fall from 1.0342 to 0.9812 is starting to give the medium term outlook a bullish favor. Hence, in stead of looking for topping signal around 1.0342, we’d now pay closer attention to upside acceleration as USD/CHF approaches this level again.
The long term outlook in USD/CHF stays a bit mixed for the moment. But in case of another medium term fall, we’d expect strong support from 0.9443/9548 support zone. Meanwhile, firm break of 1.0342 will target 38.2% retracement of 1.8305 to 0.7065 at 1.1359.
