Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9250Despite intra-day marginal rise to 0.9332 (yesterday's high was 0.9329), lack of follow through buying suggests consolidation would take place and pullback to the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.9283) is likely, however, the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 0.9243) would limit downside and bring another leg of corrective upmove later for a stronger retracement of recent decline to 0.9350/55 Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.3850As the single currency has maintained a firm undertone after yesterday's rally suggests recent upmove is still in progress and further gain towards psychological resistance at 1.4000 would be seen, however, near term overbought condition should prevent sharp move beyond there and reckon 1.4050/60 would hold from here, bring correction later.
