EUR/TRY 1H Chart: Channel Down

EURTRY

Comment: We hold a bearish bias with respect to EUR/TRY. The main reason is the falling resistance trend-line, the beginning of which may be traced back to mid-October. The price is expected to bounce off of 3.0667 and push through the early Nov low. This will pave the way for a decline down to the lower boundary of the pattern, namely 3.0230, where we also have the Aug low. At the same time, a close above 3.0667 will imply a rally towards 3.1050 (weekly PP), but the recovery may have difficulties already at 3.0955, the current location of the 200-day SMA. However, the counter-argument is the sentiment in the market: the Euro is oversold, being that 74% of positions are short.


USD/CHF 1H Chart: Channel Up

USDCHF

Comment: USD/CHF is in a strong up-trend at the moment that started last month after a test of the 200-day SMA. Today the price is expected to rebound from a strong demand level at 1.0150 and top out at 1.0237 after breaking trough the weekly R3. The fact that the bears hold a majority of positions (72%), increases the likelihood of a rally. However, we should note that the rate is approaching the highest since January level, namely 1.03, meaning long-term long positions are risky. Meanwhile, a dive under the lower trend-line will invalidate the bullish outlook, and our focus will then shift to the weekly R1 at 1.0108. Additional supports will be the 200-hour SMA at 1.0080 and the weekly PP at 1.0050.
