The
GBPCHF has bounced around within it current
chart formation as visible in this D1 chart. This
currency pair ran into strong
resistance from its horizontal
resistance zone as well as
200 DMA and
price action formed an
inverted hammer which started a correction which was halted by
ascending support levels and the GBPCHF is now trading at the lower band of its horizontal resistance zone. The top of the zone is enforced by its 200 DMA. We expect this currency pair to exhaust its upward trend and reverse, but form a higher low.
MACD has managed to remain in
bullish territory, but is currently trapped and getting weaker. We could witness a
bearish centerline crossover during the next move lower.
RSI is approaching
overbought territory, but has weakened as well.
We recommend a
short position at 1.4575 which would be an addition to our previous short position which we took on July 31st at 1.4075. We also recommend a
stop buy order at 1.4650 with a
take profit target of 1.4775.
Traders who wish to exit this trade at a loss are advised to place their stop loss order at 1.4700. We will not use a
stop loss order and execute this trade as recommended. Place your
take profit target at 1.4250.

- RSI is approaching overbought territory which we expect won’t be maintainable and expect a breakdown
