EURCHF approaching resistance, potential drop! EURCHF is approaching our first resistance at 1.1530 (horizontal overlap resistance, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement) which coincides with our short term descending resistance line. A strong reaction might occur below this level pushing price down to our major support at 1.1367 (horizontal swing low support).
RSI (55) is also approaching resistance where a reaction off this level might be a good precursor for a potential drop in price.

EUR/CHF reexamining January 15th, 2015 nightmare price levelDo you remember where you were on January 15th, 2015?
If you were a leveraged EURCHF trader then you certainly do -- it was on that date that the Swiss National Bank removed the 1.20 price peg from the currency pair. Unless you simply like to hit on 18 in blackjack, or you had inside information regarding the SNB's sudden decision to abandon the price control, then chances are you were probably long this pair. Every time prices fell to 1.20, the SNB would step in and bid them back up; the rising tides would lift everyone's boat, and downside risk was foregone under the promise that the central bank would keep prices artificially inflated. The problem was, however, that during this period of low volatility and synthetic price control that the real interest rate continued downward while the nominal rate remained the same, hiding any evidence of the bubble-like exchange rate differential. Once the floor fell out from beneath the pair, prices adjusted downward (and hard, I should mention) as a corrective measure.
Lackluster growth data out of the EU, as well as Mario Draghi's own comments affirming such a notion that the EU has reached "peak growth" primes the pair up for weakness on the EUR side while CHF's oversold condition across the board (supposedly as a result of Russian outflows in response to recent sanctions against the country) looks attractive to new capital flows that represent a) a return to a relatively safe fiat alternative and b) an opportunity to hedge risk by selling the euro's peak for the franc's bottom.
Now that price has climbed back up to the 1.20 handle for the first time since the crash, one can anticipate some modest resistance at such a critical level. The question I have is whether that resistance will be able to push price action back down to the 200-day moving average (TP #1), the prevailing trendline support (TP #2), or the lower-bound intermediate support (TP #3)?
Risk exposure on this trade idea is minimal, as a move above and beyond the 1.20 handle effectively negates the above hypothesis. At the very least I expect price to leap above the 1.20 handle, albeit shortly, as I can only assume there is a lattice of stop-loss orders ready to be tripped. If a pin bar forms on the daily chart at this level, it should be interpreted as a pointedly bearish signal.

EURCHF Approaching Resistance, Prepare For A DropEURCHF is approaching resistance where we can expect a strong drop.
Sell below 1.1653. Stop loss 1.1685. Take profit at 1.1583.
Reason for the trading strategy (technically):
EURCHF is approaching its resistance at 1.1653 (horizontal pullback resistance, 23.6%, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement) and we expect price to drop to its major support at 1.1583 (horizontal swing low support, 76.4% Fibonacci retracement) which coincides with the long term ascending support line.
RSI (34) is also approaching its resistance, and Ichimoku cloud is also showing signs of bearish pressure, in line with our bearish bias.
EUR/CHF daily chart analysis(Short Opportunity)I observed a channel on daily graph and we are very close to top limit of this channel on daily graph also there is a historical resistance around 1.20 price level therefore this area could be nice for profitable trade to short EUR/CHF.
My profit target will be around 1.17-1.18.
Have a nice weekend,

EURCHF approaching resistance, potential drop! EURCHF broke out of our short term ascending support line and is approaching our first resistance at 1.1941 (horizontal overlap resistance, 100% Fibonacci extension, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement). A strong reaction might occur below this level, pushing price down to our major support at 1.1867 (horizontal swing low support, 100% Fibonacci extension). A breakout below our intermediate support at 1.1923 (Horizontal overlap support, 50% Fibonacci retracement) might provide the bearish acceleration to our major support level. Ichimoku cloud is also showing signs of bearish pressure in line with our bearish bias.
RSI (89) is also seeing a bearish exit and we might see a corresponding drop in price.

EURCHF ShortThis pair has finally broken its uptrend. It dropped significantly early in the week but bounced from the 200MAV on H1 and bulls were able to recover. But with poor data from the Eurozone and the ECB staying pat on future monetary policy, the Euro has been sold off across the board. We've now had multiple closes below 200MAV on H1 so it is now safe to short this pair.
Good luck to all and please feel free to comment your thoughts below.
Thanks!
EURCHF; 5-Wave Elliott Wave Structure and the Magical 1.2 LevelAll is clear. On 15.1.2015, the notorious Swiss National Bank (SNB), abandoned the its 4 year tradition of defending the 1.2 level and caused a chaos in FX markets with great consequences.
Now and after more than 3 years, the bulls have propelled prices up to this magical level and the Elliott Wave structure also calls for ending of a prolonged move.
Also note that according to CFTC, speculators are extremely bullish on EURO and extremely bearish on Frank.
Thus I expect lower prices ahead.
Good luck,
Ali Sharifazadeh, CFTe
