Focus Chart of the Day: USD/CHF

Price & Time: King Dollar
Price & Time: King Dollar

Timing methods, sentiment and even extreme overbought conditions have served of little use over the past few weeks in USD/CHF as the exchange rate has continued to power higher despite these caution flags. We believe that at some point these conditions will lead to some sort of snapback, but it is now a guess as to when. There is some timing over the next few days, but if recent reactions by other USD pairs are a guide the market will pay little attention to this cyclical resistance. Interesting price resistance is eyed between .9600 and .9625 as this marks a convergence of the 78.6% retracement of the 2013-2014 decline and the 10th square root relationship of the year’s low, but only a clear failure price action wise would warrant going counter trend. Over .9625 exposes Fibonacci resistance near .9700.
