Analysis

CHFJPY1_12-8

As the Swiss National Bank is widely expected to lower the benchmark interest rate this week, the CHFJPY should hold within the downward trending channel throughout the week, and may offer profitable opportunities for forex traders. Last week, increased selling pressures dragged the pair to a low of 75.07, but immediately turned around after triggering an oversold RSI signal. Over the next few hours of trading, we may see the pair push higher to cross above the 120 SMA, but the event risks scheduled for the week paired with risk aversion supports a bearish outlook for the pair.
