GBP-CHF
GBP/CHF 1H Chart: Bullish sentiment weakensStrong upside risks have guided the GBP/CHF currency pair for the last two months. This movement began early in March when the Sterling reversed from the bottom boundary of the senior channel. It is now located near the other channel line.
As apparent on the chart, the rate has not still fully reached this line which is located at 1.39, as it was disrupted by the strong plunge mid-Wednesday. A subsequent advance did not occur due to the resistance of the 55-hour SMA.
Some slight recovery is still expected to occur within the remaining part of the week; however, the senior channel might still remain intact.
Meanwhile, it is likely that the Pound edges lower in the medium term and breaches the prevailing ascending channel, the 200-hour SMA, the weekly R1 and the monthly R2 circa 1.3650. The following target is the 1.3550 area.
GBPCHF BEARISH GARTLEY PATTERN Price is currently at pre Brexit levels and is struggling at a major resistance. We can see multiple patterns suggesting downside movement, a double top, a breakout of the ascending channel which support is now acting as resistance and a bearish gartley pattern has formed. We have also noticed on the smaller timeframes a breakout of an ascending channel so we will be looking for an entry to short this pair when market opens.
GBP/CHF sell updateI've been in this, took an entry at the top. It never fully touched or broke high, but that looks like an ending flat pattern to come down, not a running flat to go up. As I said before this trade has huge potential downside but look to take profit for smaller structure and let some ride is my opinion.

GBP/CHF 1H Chart: Sterling breaches trend-lineFollowing five weeks of decline against the Swiss Franc, the British Sterling has managed to recover some of its losses during the past few sessions. This short-term period of appreciation started when the pair reversed from a senior channel circa 1.29 on March 2. Thus, the pair has been advancing towards the upper boundary of a medium channel located near 1.3250.
It is likely that the Pound continues edging higher towards this line during the following two weeks. However, some minor correction south is expected early next week. As a result of this move, the rate could fall down to the combined support of the 200-hour SMA, the monthly PP and the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement at 1.30. The recently-breached trend-line is likewise located at this mark.
