USD/CHF Technical Analysis – Triangle Floor Under Pressure

Talking Points:
USD/CHF Technical Strategy: Flat
Support: 0.8770 (Triangle floor), 0.8742 (Apr 11 low)
Resistance:0.8812 (Triangle top), 0.8861 (Apr 22 high)
The US Dollar declined against the Swiss Franc as expected after prices produced a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. Prices are tracing out a Triangle chart formation, a setup that carries bearish continuation implications if completed on a daily close below the pattern’s lower boundary (now at 0.8770). That would initially expose the April 11 low at 0.8742. Alternatively, a break above the Triangle top at 0.8812 exposes the April 22 high at 0.8861 at first.
Risk/reward considerations argue against taking a short position with prices trading in close proximity to relevant support. We will remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a more attractive trading opportunity to present itself.
