Support at 0.9197/93 set to hold

“USD/CHF has now broken above the downtrend from April, today seen at 0.9197, reinforced by a renewed turn higher in daily MACD. The breakout suggests a broader move higher can take place for a move back to 0.9264/75, the July highs and the 61.8% retracement of the April/June fall.”

“Whilst the 0.9264/75 zone is likely to prove a tough barrier again, a break would open up a move to our prior Q3 objective at 0.9356/85, which is the downtrend from 2019.” 

“The pair should now ideally hold onto its break above 0.9197/93 to keep a clean break higher. Next support is seen at 0.9138, with the 55-day average now at 0.9115, which we look to try and hold on any unexpected pullbacks.”
