Swiss
USDCHF LongThis is a very special pair, that has been behaving like the DXY, but with a major difference. It didn't break to new highs, but respected the Nov 2015 high.
At the 0.985 level, there is a lot of resistance that can turn into support, as well the up trending support which dates back to May 2016.
This trade has a natural 2:1 R/R ratio, which makes it even more attractive.
Swiss Franc Downtrend ContinuationThe Franc has been in a moderate downtrend for a while and has recently taken a dip. Over the last few days we've seen some profit taking from the shorts with a minor peak. With the overall downward pressure of the daily/monthly downtrend, and the lack of much support below, I expect to see USDCHF continue on downwards.
Short Trade off a Daily levelThis setup really caught my eye. I really like the move away from the area. One of the key attributes of an area that I look for is the move away. The move away is extremely strong as well as clean indicating that there is lots of imbalance. One thing to keep in mind is that price my very well trade from the .97091 area where the wicks are protruding my entry line. I move my entry up to the real body of the candle to cut back on the risk of this setup. If your pockets are a little deeper than mine and you can handle a bit more risk, feel free to move the entry to include the wicks. Although that will increase your risk slightly, the odds of you getting filled on this setup is increased.
USD/CHF - Breakout pendingWill be looking to take a long position on USD/CHF based on the following reasons:
- 0.618 fib support held strong
- Inside a falling wedge which is normally a sign of reversal
- Following NFP earlier this month, the dollar has seen unprecedented strength, therefore I expect this to continue
As always, trade safe
