USD/CHF 4-hour Chart
USD/CHF is in a sideways trend. Given the principle in technical analysis that “the trend is your friend” the odds favor an extension of this trend. Once the pair reaches its upside target it will probably roll over and begin a down leg towards the range lows.
Only a decisive break above 0.8539 and the top of the range would signal a change in trend. A decisive break would be one accompanied by a long green candle breaking above the top of the range and closing near its high, or three green candles in a row that broke above the level. If successful, such a move would probably then rally to a minimum target of 0.8617 (August 14 swing low).
