USD/CHF 1H Chart: Channel Up
Comment: Considering the fact that USD/CHF has formed a bullish channel and a lot of technical indicators are currently pointing upwards, we expect further strengthening of the US Dollar. However, there is likely to be a small sell-off before the latest rally resumes. The base case scenario is a decline down to the support trend-line at 0.9350, followed by a rally towards the May high at 0.9544. But the currency pair may make a U-turn earlier, namely at 0.9376, where the daily S2 merges with the 200-hour SMA. Meanwhile, the sentiment is strongly bullish: at the moment three in four positions open in the SWFX market are long.
GBP/AUD 4H Chart: Rising Wedge
Comment: GBP/AUD is bearish in the short term, and there are significant downside risks in the longer run, despite the major up-trend still being intact. During the next several days the rate should descend some 400 pips from 2.0851 (monthly R1 and up-trend), regardless of the bullish technical studies, though the latter fact could delay the sell-off. When the price reaches the lower boundary of the rising wedge, we should be on a lookout for a break-out, which will open up a way towards 1.96 (Jun 3 low and 11-month up-trend). However, there are still going to be significant demand areas left, such as 2.0250 (monthly PP and Jun 25 low) and 2.01 (weekly S2 and 200-period SMA).
