FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/CHF for March 28, 2014

Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to trade in a higher range. It is supported by the dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy stance, positive dollar sentiment, and franc sales on the buoyant GBP/CHF, AUD/CHF, NZD/CHF, and CAD/CHF crosses. But the USD/CHF gains are tempered by the franc demand on the soft EUR/CHF cross and positions adjustment before weekend. Daily chart is positive-biased as MACD and stochastics is bullish, five-day moving average is above 15-day MA and is advancing.

Trading recommendation:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a higher range as far as it remains above its pivot point. As far as the price is above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.8910 and the second target at 0.8930. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.8810. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.8785. The pivot point is at 0.8835.
