USD/CHF’s decline from 1.0098 extended to as low as 0.9926 last week but formed a temporary bottom there and recovered. Initial bias is neutral this week first. Based on the structure of the fall, we’d treat it as a corrective pull back first. On the upside, break of 1.0014 minor resistance will suggests that the pull back is completed. Intraday bias will then be turned back to the upside for retesting 1.0098. On the downside, below 0.9926 will extend the corrective fall to 61.8% retracement of 0.9716 to 1.0098 at 0.9862. We’d look for bottoming signal again below there.
In the bigger picture, USD/CHF drew strong support from medium term trend line and rebounded. That suggests rise from 0.9186 is still in progress. Further break of 1.0128 will confirm up trend resumption and target 1.0342 key resistance. Nevertheless, break of 0.9716 will dampen this bullish view and at least bring deeper fall to 0.9541 key support.
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.
