USD/CHF Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that we may see a relatively high period of volatility that day as the SNB was going to be making its quarterly report on monetary policy. Therefore, I thought that any convincing reversal at support or resistance in any direction could produce a good set-up later. I had no directional bias ahead of the SNB's guidance. When it came, that release pushed the price down strongly to a new low at 0.9542 over the next 24 hours, but then the price recovered strongly, and is now back again in the price area where it was last Wednesday.

Directional movements in this currency pair are usually difficult to predict as it has little tendency to trend, but the short-term price action is suggestive of a possible bearish reversal at a medium-term bearish trend line, which is shown in the price chart below.

There is nothing important due today concerning the CHF. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm London time.
