USD/CHF rose strongly last week and break of 0.9877 indicators resumption of rebound from 0.9659. Initial bias remains on the upside for 0.9975 resistance first. Decisive break there will indicate completion of whole fall from 1.0237. In this case, further rise should be seen to retest 1.0237. On the downside, though, break of 0.9800 minor support will turn bias to the downside for 0.9713 support instead.
In the bigger picture, the structure of the fall from 1.0237 suggests that it’s a corrective move. Break of 0.9975 will argue that such correction has completed at 0.9659, ahead of 61.8% retracement of 0.9186 to 1.0237 at 0.9587. Butt decisive break of 1.0237 is needed to indicate up trend resumption. Otherwise, medium term outlook will stay neutral first.
In the long term picture, price actions from 0.7065 (2011 low) are not clearly impulsive yet. Thus, we’ll treat it as developing into a corrective pattern, at least, until a firm break of 1.0342 resistance.
