ID 07.2 | USD/CHF BUY TRADE | TRADE LIVE

The USD/CHF pair has made a considerable bearish retracement in the past month, as noted by James Chen “this currency pair has given back virtually all of the substantial gains that it made from mid-April to early June.”  While the pair is in a long-term downtrend, as discussed below, we still feel there is room to take a counter-trend trade on this forex pair.

First chart below shows the dollar index, which is close to an uptrend support line – our trade would be further confirmed by a coinciding bounce off this line.  Monthly chart shows the long term downtrend of the pair, however, of note is the failure of the pair to make a lower low on the last dip.  We’d like to see a solid break of the resistance line shown, while a break below the support line would invalidate this trade for the time being.  Weekly chart shows recent bullish movement.

The 1HR chart below shows our entry trendline for this trade, with the 2HR chart showing our initial target.  A break of the yellow downtrend line would signal further bullish movement and we may consider adding to the position.

Update: Trade taken at 1.0560 at break of our entry trendline.  Be cautious of the weekend gap.  Chart below.
