USD/CHF Price Prediction: Surges in bullish breakout from multi-week range
|- USD/CHF breaks out of the range it has been straight-jacketed in for weeks.
- The pair has probably started a new uptrend with odds now favoring the acquisition of bullish targets.
USD/CHF decisively breaks out of the top of its multi-week range, probably ending its protracted sideways market trend. A close clearly above 0.8540 and the range ceiling would cement bullish expectations.
The move means the pair has probably changed its short-term trend from range-bound to bullish, and since it is a fundamental principle of technical analysis that “the trend is your friend” the odds favor a continuation higher.
