Last week, USD/CHF corrected its downward trend and moved in a sideways move. At the start of this week, the market rebounded around the low end of the current trading zone 0.9438 – 0.9548 reflecting the bear’s hesitation at this point.
A close below the low end of the zone signals that bears could press towards 0.9330 and any further close below that level may encourage them to send USDCHF even lower towards 0.9181.
On the flip side, another close above the low end of the zone could mean more of the same ie, the price could rally towards the high end of the zone and any further close above this level could extend this move towards 0.9640.
