USD/CHF Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7187; (P) 0.7258; (R1) 0.7337; More...

USD/CHF's rebound from 0.7065 extends further to as high as 0.7524 in early US session and the break of 0.7361 aurges that a short term bottom is already in place. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside for further rebound. But at this point, we'd expect strong resistance from 0.7801 (61.8% retracement of 0.8277 to 0.7065 at 0.7814) to limit upside and turn USD/CHF into sideway consolidations. On the downside, break of 0.7065 is needed to confirm fall resumption for 0.7 psychological level. Or, we'll turn near term neutral first.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6290

Despite cable’s intra-day retreat from 1.6208, as indicated support at 1.6111 has continued to hold, retaining our view that further consolidation would take place and above said minor resistance would bring a stronger recovery to 1.6260/65 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6411 to 1.6111), however, reckon 1.6295-96 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6478 to 1.6111 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6411 to 1.6111) would limit upside, bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Sell at 109.50

Although the single currency has recovered after falling to 108.30 yesterday, as long as intra-day resistance at 109.91 holds, mild downside bias is seen for decline to resume after consolidation, break of said support would signal the 2nd c leg is still in progress and extend weakness to 108.00 but reckon 107.50 would hold from here and bring rebound later.
