Today’s USD/CHF Signals

Short Trade

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

USD/CHF Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the overall picture was muddled and messy and I thought trading this pair was going to best avoided. The trend line might have hold as resistance, but there was a support level so close by I saw it as more likely to ultimately break. This was a good call and predicted accurately the day’s action, but it was not much use. I am a little more bullish today as there is nothing obvious to stop the price rising, provided that the support level at 0.9907 holds. Even if it breaks, 0.9885 could work as support too.

USDCHF

There is nothing important due today regarding the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
