USD/CHF: Technical analysis for January 25, 2013

Range: 268 pips (weekly).

Overview:

USD/CHF: It is necessary to consider that the price is still located between the points of 0.9355 and 0.9275 (it is currently around the 0.9290 price), i.e. above the strong resistance level of 0.9350. The pair has already formed a strong resistance at the level of 0.9350 and is presently approaching the further testing. Therefore, the Swissie is expected to go downwards following the structure which does not look corrective, indicating a bearish opportunity below the 0.9450 level. Sell deals are recommended below 0.9350 with the first target seen at the 0.9340 level. Thus, the downtrend is likely to continue the bearish movement towards the 0.9280 level. Moreover, it is crucial that the price has probably formed a strong support at 0.9250. The saturation is likely to take place around 0.9250/0.92 (0.9178: the weekly Support 1). Therefore, it is possible that the market will start showing the signs of bullish behaviour. In other words, Buy deals are recommended above 0.9200 with the first target seen at the 0.9240 level and if this level is broken, then the pair will go further to the 0.9280 level (the weekly pivot point). It should be noted that the resistance becomes a support after it is broken.
