AUD CHF - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL
BASELINE
Despite a decent recovery from the start of the year, the AUD has struggled in the midst of underlying negative risk sentiment, China’s continued struggles with Covid breakouts, and more recently the big slump in key commodities (Iron Ore & Coal). China’s economy is always a key focus for the AUD. While all major economies are expected to slow in 2022, China is expected to recover (monetary and fiscal policy very stimulative). The expected recovery has been a key focus for our previous bullish AUD bias, which worked out well until a few weeks ago. Our view was that China’s expected recovery would be enough to keep commodities like Iron Ore supported even while other commodities push lower on global demand concerns, but price action has proven us wrong on that assumption, with Iron Ore dropping close to 30% from the mid-June. The RBA stuck to a higher pace of tightening with a 50bsp hike on in August, but it wasn’t enough to provide the AUD with upside as the bank mentioned their policy is not on a pre-determined path and also expressed growing concerns about consumers. While Iron Ore prices stays pressured and covid lockdowns in China persists, we have a neutral biasfor the AUD. The only reason why we haven’t shifted to bearish is because some of the recent data out of China has been better than expected, thus there are still upside risks for the currency if things like Iron Ore can put in a base and show some recovery.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Positive Covid developments in China (easing restrictions, more fiscal or monetary stimulus, or letting go of the covidzero policy) could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers some recovery in Australia’s key commodity exports (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China, higher inflation fears) should be supportive for the AUD. With the RBA just getting started with their hiking cycle, there is scope for them to turn more aggressive, which means any overly hawkish triggers from their meeting this week could trigger some bullish reactions.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
Negative Covid developments in China (increasing restrictions or adding new ones) could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. Any catalyst that triggers more downside in Australia’s key commodity exports (additional China restrictions, demand destruction fears, and additional news on recent centralized iron ore buyers) could be negative for the AUD. Despite CPI >6% we’ve recently heard typical stubbornly hesitant comments pushing back against aggressive tightening implied by STIRs. Thus, any overly dovish comments from the bank this week or simply failing to surprise with a bigger hike than what is priced can trigger bearish reactions in the AUD.
BIGGER PICTURE
The bigger picture outlook for the AUD is neutral for now, but that is largely dependent on what happens to China and whether key commodities like Iron Ore and Coal can stop their recent bleeding. Until the covid situation improves materially, and until commodities and China’s growth stabilizes, the AUD is best suited for short-term trades.
CHF
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: WEAK BULLISH
BASELINE
The CHF has been supported in recent months as STIR markets have steadily priced in higher interest rates for Switzerland, as well the SNB’s reluctance to intervene in the currency markets to try and weaken the CHF. At their June meeting, the SNB took a very aggressive policy step by hiking rates with 50bsp and removing their previous classification that the CHF is ‘highly valued’. Unlike other central banks, the SNB has chosen to try and tackle inflation before it runs rampant by hiking rates aggressively. Their hike in June was the first hike since 2007, and if the bank follows through with a hike in September it will mean Switzerland will have positive interest rates for the first time in almost a decade. There is scope for further CHF upside in the months ahead with 4 supporting drivers. SNB’s hawkish tilt, the bank’s acceptance of a stronger CHF with less intervention, negative underlying risk sentiment driven by the global cyclical slowdown, rising inflation. The SNB did note that they are willing to be active in the foreign exchange market to ensure appropriate monetary conditions which means too much CHF strength could get the wrong attention from the bank.
POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES
Any incoming data (especially CPI on Wednesday) or SNB comments that causes markets to price in even more aggressive policy from the bank could trigger bullish reactions in the CHF. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the CHF. The more aggressive markets think the ECB will be with incoming hikes, the more aggressive they will be for the SNB. Thus, data that trigger hawkish ECB expectations could also be supportive for the CHF.
POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES
The SNB has not been as active in trying to devalue the CHF through sight deposits as they have been in recent years. With the bank now on a hiking cycle, any drastic appreciation could spark some intervention and would be a bearish catalyst. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the CHF. Further lower repricing of ECB hikes could trigger downside in the CHF as well, and the biggest dovish risk for the currency is a big surprise miss on any incoming CPI data.
BIGGER PICTURE
The SNB surprised with a 50bsp hike and signalled, that unlike other central banks, they will not get behind the curve. Apart from a hawkish central bank, we also have the economy on a steady footing, as well as less risk of intervention as SNB’s Jordan said they no longer see the CHF as highly valued (there is of course risk that they could intervene if the CHF appreciates too much too fast). This means the bias for the CHF is bullish and we’re looking for dips as CHF for buying opportunities.

Any incoming data (especially CPI on Wednesday) or SNB comments that causes markets to price in even more aggressive policy from the bank could trigger bullish reactions in the CHF. Last week the SNB fired a warning shot for Wednesday’s CPI by saying they can take policy decisions at any time between regular meeting dates, so there is a risk that a big upside surprise in CPI on Wednesday triggers an inter-meeting hike. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the CHF. The more aggressive markets think the ECB will be with incoming hikes, the more aggressive they will be for the SNB.

$AUDCHF - Keep an eye!Happy Monday!
Well, it's been great start already got in some trades hit TP but I am just checking the overall market and this specific currency pair is brewing for nice trade!

AUDCHF Emerging Death Cross can push it back to 0.6513.The AUDCHF pair is seeing a short-term rebound following the July 01 Low and is approaching the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). It has been trading below the latter since June 16 and the former since June 17.
The emerging Death Cross formation (when the MA50 crosses below the MA200) can put a stop to this short-term recovery and push the price to a new Low just like the last 1D Death Cross did a year ago, on July 28 2021. A 1D candle close above the 1D MA50 invalidates the Death Cross and targets the Lower Highs trend-line.

AUDCHF - My Trading Plan in a pictureHello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst.
AUDCHF is overall bearish trading inside the brown trendlines and now approaching the lower brown trendline.
Moreover, the green area 0.6670 - 0.6700 is a resistance turned into support.
So the highlighted purple circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of the green support and lower brown trendline. (acting as non-horizontal support)
As per my trading style:
As AUDCHF approaches the purple circle, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

AUDCHF Neutral for the summer, bullish break-out end-of-yearThe AUDCHF pair has been neutral since the start of April following our plan with great consistency, as outlined on our last analysis:
As you see, the price has been trading inside that box as the June - September 2020 fractal suggested. This time, we also have the 1W MA200 (red trend-line) that provides support. The 1D MACD shows that we are at a point where one last pull-back is possible before the pattern breaks to the upside. We keep scalping this formation until 0.7100 breaks, which will be a bullish break-out call aimed at 0.726500 and (under circumstances which we will update) the 1.236 Fibonacci extension at 0.746560.

AUD/CHF short trade opportunity- AUD/CHF looks good for a short trade opportunity. It's trending towards the downside.
- We are seeing a recent support break as well as a 4-hour bearish engulfing candlestick closure, suggesting bearish pressure.
- Hedge funds are selling off both currency pairs, so the overall setup looks good to go:)
