Aud-chf
AUDCHFThis symbol features the Australian Dollar - Swiss Franc cross pair. While less popular than the AUDJPY cross, the AUD/CHF has similar characteristics in that it can be used as a carry trade. Some may also view this pair as a reflection of risk sentiment due to the risk-on nature of the Australian currency and the safe-haven characteristics of the Swiss franc.
AUDCHF ShortWaiting for the bounce before the possible bearish slide of this pair if not by Friday, by next week, based on price action from the weekly chart as well as the bearish effect on most AUD pairs in general due to recent USD strength from rising US yields and general hawkishness of the Fed. Setting up sell stop order @0.74069 with TP near the weekly trendline support @0.731 and SL just a few pips above this week's resistance @0.746.

AUD/CHF 1H Chart: Reverses from senior channelThe bullish sentiment which started late in March has guided the AUD/CHF currency pair towards the upper boundaries of two channels circa 0.7510. This marks a 3.35% increase in price within the last three weeks. The Aussie has likewise breached a short-term ascending channel.
It seems that this may point to a continuous move south that is expected to occur within the following trading days. Important support is set by the 200-hour SMA and the combination of the weekly S1, the monthly PP and the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement near 0.7330.
Meanwhile, technical indicators are more bullish for this session, thus indicating that some slight upward correction is likely during the following 24 hours. The pair should be hindered near the 0.7490 mark where the 55-hour SMA, the senior channel and the 50.0% Fibo are located. In case this level is surpassed, the Aussie should not move above the weekly R1 and the 61.80% Fibo at 0.7540.

AUDCHF LongRiding the bullish sentiment on AUD in COT report along with its rally last week after some good news regarding its better than expected trade balance as well as China's CPI, and Australia getting exempted too from steel tariffs imposed by Trump (like Canada and Mexico). Must monitor CHF and EUR closely though because any signs of rally soon might make this pair ranging instead and there's risk of getting whipsawed instead. Setting up buy stop order @0.75 with TP near weekly resistance @0.775 and SL somewhere between base and R1 pivot lines @0.74

AUD/CHF 1H Chart: Guided by bullish channelFollowing a month of consolidation, the Australian Dollar managed to gather enough momentum to break out of this range northwards. As a result, AUD/CHF formed an ascending channel, and it is gradually approaching the senior pattern located in the 0.7580/0.7600 area. It is expected that upside risks continue to prevail in the market during the following two weeks until the senior channel, reinforced by the monthly R2, is reached.
As apparent in the chart, the rate has struggled to move above the 50.0% Fibo retracement located at 0.7486 this week. Thus, the Aussie might go for a short-term correction south within the following trading sessions. A possible downside target is the upper boundary of the breached channel, the 200-hour SMA and the monthly PP circa 0.7360.
