USD/CHF Bullish but Nearing Resistance

By: Doug Rosen

The Swissy continues to look bullish except for the fact that it is soon approaching resistance. On the daily time frame price is maintaining itself above the 21, 13 and 5 ema's. The angle and separation between the ema's is not that great so there is not so much energy behind price so a break above resistance will be hard to achieve. Price has a horizontal resistance line and a trend line overlapped with the upper Bollinger band to contend with so breaking resistance may not be so easy.

On the 15 minute timeframe the ema's are beginning to get close to each other indicating this pair may be slowing down a bit. The Swissy today is very closely correlated with the GBP/USD as well as the EUR/USD and SILVER & GOLD.
