Swiss Franc Technical Forecast: USD/CHF Short-term Trade Levels

USD/CHF monthly rally fails at technical resistance- reversal now poised to mark third consecutive day
USD/CHF support in view- bears threaten resumption of yearly downtrend
Resistance 7991, 8018 (key), 8060- Support 7931/45, 7872/82 (key), 7779

The US Dollar remains on the defensive early in the week with USD/CHF attempting to mark a third consecutive daily decline. A break of a multi-week uptrend now threatens resumption of the broader downtrend as the bears attempt to unwind the July advance. Battles lines drawn on the USD/CHF short-term technical charts.

Technical Outlook: In last month’s Swiss Franc Short-term Outlook we noted that USD/CHF had rebounded off technical support and that, “From a trading standpoint, the threat remains for a larger recovery within the broader downtrend, but rallies should be limited to 8103 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 7881 needed to mark downtrend resumption.” USD/CHF rallied more than 2.4% off the monthly lows before exhausting into channel resistance last week at the 100% extension of the May decline near 8060. Price is now poised to mark a third consecutive daily decline with USD/CHF attempting to break below the July uptrend- watch today’s close.

Notes: A closer look at Swisse price action shows USD/CHF slipping below the 38.2% retracement of the monthly range at 7991 and a break below the monthly channel threatens a larger decline while below the weekly open at 8018.

Initial support rests with the July open / 61.8% retracement at 7931/45 and is backed by the yearly low / 1.618% extension at 7872/82- losses below this threshold would threaten another bout of accelerated losses with the next technical considerations seen at the 78.6% retracement of the 2011 advance at 7779 and the highlighted trendline confluence near 7700.

Bottom line: A reversal from technical resistance is now attempting to break the July advance and threatens resumption of the broader USD/CHF downtrend. From at trading standpoint, look for a reaction into monthly open support- rallies should be limited to the weekly open IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 7872 needed to fuel the next major leg of the decline.
