USD/CHF Analysis

There is still a long-term bullish trend in force, but it becomes weaker and weaker as the price seems to keep ranging in the same area. Furthermore, the longer-term chart shows that there is nothing special about the price area we remain in: bulls should get more excited if the price can break up above 1.0326 and stay there.

The good news is that in these conditions, support and resistance levels tend to be relatively reliable, especially when they are confluent with big round, half or quarter numbers. For these reasons, I expect the resistance at 1.0249 could be a great level at which to look for a short trade if it is reached today.

There is nothing due today regarding either the CHF or the USD.
