EUR/CHF has added more than 15 pips in Asia and is teasing a bullish breakout on the hourly chart.

The pair is currently trading just above 1.0676, the upper end of the hourly chart falling wedge pattern. An hourly close above that level would imply an end of the pullback from the June 16 high of 1.0769 and open the doors for stronger gains.

A wedge breakout, if confirmed, would expose the resistance at 1.0720 (June 17 high), which, if breached, could yield a re-test of the recent high of 1.0769.

On the downside, acceptance below the overnight support of 1.0659 would imply a continuation of the sell-off of 1.0769.
