USDCHF 4H Chart: Set for breakoutThe US Dollar has been bound in several long and short-term patterns which have guided the price lower since October 2017.
The currency pair is likely to continue falling within the following trading sessions in line with the medium-term pattern. The pair is currently trading near the border of the junior channel and could breach the upper boundary in the short term.
If and when this situation happens, the rate would encounter a resistance cluster set by the combination of the 200-hour simple moving average and the weekly R1 near 0.9428. Traders should look for opportunities to trade either direction if the aforementioned scenario occurs.

Instead the currency exchange rate has begun a decline to a support cluster near lower trend line of the most dominant ascending pattern. That indicates that the pair should surge and break the resistance of the short term and medium term patterns.
Although, in regards to the short term the situation has become unclear, as the short term pattern’s resistance has stopped the recent rebound.
EUR/CHF 4H Chart: Breakout channelDuring a long period of time the large scale triangle pattern on the EUR/CHF was the main point of attention. However, as it has been already reviewed, the pair broke out to the upside.

UsdChf - Weak Usd Points To Further DeclinesLast week price broke below key support at 0.98599. With this failure of support and a weak USD, a pullback and retest of broken support turning resistance at 0.98599 would provide an opportunity to look for shorts, down towards the next two key areas of support to the downside at 0.97622 and 0.96480 respectively.
UsdChf - Bounce At Key SupportLast week price continued to correct into the key area of support at 0.98599. As we go into next week with this support area holding the preference is for further advances up towards the next key areas of resistance at 1.00774 and 1.01653. Some strength in the USD Index will be needed to make this pair rally however.
UsdChf - Correction But Uptrend IntactAfter a low volatility week price continued to correct, however, the overall Bull trend remains intact.

AUD/CHF 4H Chart: Meets Resistance The Australian Dollar is trading against the Swiss Franc simultaneously in two ascending channel patterns. One of them is a dominant one, while the second one represents a rebound in the borders of the larger pattern.
Recently the pair revealed junior pattern after a bounce off from the resistance near the 0.7720 mark. It has to be mentioned that the junior channel’s trend lines seem to be indicating only an approximate zone of week strength. The trend lines on their own do not seem to poses the needed strength to change the direction of the pair.
In general, in the near future the currency exchange rate is likely going to decline down to the supports levels just below the 0.7670 mark.
EUR/CHF 4H Chart: Fibonacci rebound The common European currency has recently formed a narrow ranged ascending channel pattern against the Swiss Franc on the four hour charts. The reason for the formation of the channel was a rebound against a Fibonacci retracement level.
Namely, after reaching a new high level the Euro began a retreat against the Swiss Franc and eventually plummeted in the second half of September. By using that high level as the 00.00% Fibonacci level and the 2017 low level as the 100% mark, one could have predicted that the pair will rebound against the 1.1388 mark, where the 23.60% retracement is located.
Meanwhile, in regards to the short term, the pair is set to approach two pivot points until it makes another attempt at the 2017 high level.

Most recently the descending channel pattern has reached a massive scale long term support line. The line is strengthened by various levels of significance that surround them.
Below it the weekly and monthly S1s are located at the 114.40 mark. Just above it, at 114.70 level, the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level is located at. All of these levels together with two clusters of resistance at 115.00 and 115.40 are likely going to squeeze in the pair.

AUD/CHF breaks long term patternThe Australian Dollar recently marked another bounce off from the resistance of the 2017 high level against the Swiss Franc. As a result a medium scale channel pattern has formed. The descending channel managed to break through the support of the previously active large scale pattern.
Most recently the Aussie made attempts to regain its losses. However, the pair failed to rebound, as the previously active patterns support acted as a resistance together with the weekly PP and the 55-period SMA just above the 0.7619 mark.

CHF/JPY about to break outThe situation on the CHF/JPY currency pair is hard to understand at first glance. However, if one keeps it short, the currency rate is surging in three various ascending patterns simultaneously.
Although, in accordance with the patterns the currency pair is about to experience a period of rather flat trading or a surge. The reason for that is the fact that an ascending triangle pattern has been formed during the recent weeks.
The rate is either going to fall down to the 114 mark, where close by various levels of support are located at, or surge up to the 115.50 mark, where the weekly R2 is at.
USD/CHF long term long outlookRecently the US Dollar reached historical low levels against the Swiss Franc. However, after flirting with the low level below the 0.9450 mark the currency exchange rate has rebounded. The historical low levels where consistent with the massive scale descending channel pattern's lower trend line, which is a clear signal for a long term surge.
The rebound is occurring in a recently mapped ascending channel pattern, which is a medium scale representation of a larger move. The larger move is a descending pattern, which is almost parallel to the most dominant pattern. Meanwhile, its trend lines are consistent with the Fibonacci retracement levels of the recent year low and high levels.
In regards to the short term, the pair is most likely going to decline to the 23.60% Fibo at the 0.9650 mark and afterwards once more approach the 0.9715 mark, where the weekly R1 is located at.
