USD/CHF BUYING at .9036
Updated
I have rules that I try to stick to when I'm trading but I'm also happy to break them if the conditions are right.
Since early this morning the USD/CHF has sold off aggressively, encouraged by the weak(ish) Prelim GDP that came in 1.3% against 1.2% but it looks like the market was expecting better.
The mood for USD BULLS wasn't lightened 90 minutes later when the Pending Home Sales missed by a distance coming in -7.7% against expected -1.1%.
So all day we've seen USD/CHF sell off, so much so, that the RSI on H1 has been under 30 and even under 20 for some time.
However.
All BULL and BEAR runs must inevitably end at some time and it looks as if USD/CHF BEARS are reaching exhaustion and liquidating their SHORT trades.
I'm in long which is somewhat jumping the gun I'll freely admit and although the ANdean Oscillator is mildly BULLISH on 1m and 5m time frames, we have no confirmation on 15m but I believe its going to happen.
The last 5 candles on 15m have all been doji indecision candles and it would be a surprise if USD/CHF BEARS could drive the price further south from here and the path of least resistance is north.
As we can get a tight STOP just under the low, and the reward is high, this is a trade worth taking.
Target is unknown as this will depend on the price action if we see BUYERS step in from these levels.

Trade active
Progressing nicely.+25 pips so far with a +10 pip SL.
.9100 should be reachable as an initial target but we have news at 13;30 (US Core CPE Price Index).
Not usually a large market mover but a large miss or hit will either reverse this trade or accelerate it higher.
