GBP
The pair’s trading is wedged below the downside channel’s resistance level 1.5810 and above SMA 50, where its value is currently at 1.5750 although we still await for a clear breach of pivotal resistance 1.5835 representing the neckline for the bullish trend, appearing in our previous reports. The stochastic is giving off bullish signs that make us expect an upside direction for this week, which requires critical factors to prevail; first, the breach of critical resistance between 1.5810 – 1.5835 and build a base above it, alongside a weekly closing above 1.5725. The awaited key target resides around 1.6040.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.5590 and the key resistance at 1.6100.
The short term trend is to the upside as far as 1.5315 remains intact with targets at 1.7000.

CHF
The pair touched the minor upside channel’s support level – representing the continuous flag pattern – at 0.9800 rebounding to the upside due to the positive effect of stochastic. We expect to witness some fluctuation between the mentioned support and resistance at 0.9855, which touches SMA 50 before heading towards breaching this pattern’s support level, where in role, paves the way towards resuming the expected bearish trend for this week. The expected targets start chiefly at 0.9680 then 0.9545, but keep in mind the importance of the daily closing remaining below 0.9945 in order to maintain chances of resuming expectations.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 0.9545 and the key resistance at 1.0000.
The short term trend is to the downside as far as 1.0330 remains intact with targets at 0.8000.
