USD/CHF Analysis

My forecast yesterday was again totally right: look for a bullish reversal at the old bullish trend line confluent with 0.9700. Unfortunately this did not happen until after London closed, but the price had fallen very sharply and was nicely overextended down there, bouncing back during the late New York session.

It has to be said that this bullish bounce was looking reactive rather than impulsive, but it is looking stronger during London trading and if it can reach the round number at 0.9800 that would be a healthily bullish development.

I expect local resistance at 0.9800 which might be scalped successfully.

USDCHF Forex Signal

There is nothing due today regarding the CHF. Concerning the USD, there will be releases of Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
