USD/CHF Analysis
The zone from 1.0215 to 1.0240 retains its importance and acted again as a top. Although we cannot draw a perfectly fitting classic trend line with at least two touches, a glance at the chart over the past few weeks does give the shape of a bullish channel that is rapidly approaching the point where it is going to have to break up past 1.0215 properly, or start to fall back down to 1.0100 or even lower. That fall, if and when it comes, could be quite sharp, as it will uncover a lot of long trade stops. Pay attention to the lower channel trend line in the chart below.
Regarding the CHF, there is nothing due today. Concerning the USD, there will a release of Preliminary GDP data at 1:30pm London time followed by CB Consumer Confidence at 3pm.
