However, the general oversold conditions and the recent pick-up in buying interest pave the way for a rebound.

USD/CHF

Targeting lower bound of the uptrend channel.

Hourly support is given by the lower bound of the uptrend channel around 1.0240 while hourly resistance is given at 1.0328 (27/11/2015 high).

AUD/USD

Bullish momentum.

A break of the key resistance at 0.8295 (15/01/2015 high) is needed to invalidate our long-term bearish view. In addition, we still note that the pair remains well below the 200-dma which confirms selling pressures.

EUR/CHF

Strenghtening.

• EUR/CHF is still pushing higher. The technical structure indicates that the pair is now in a clear short-term bullish momentum. Hourly support lies at 1.0733 (28/08/2015 low) while hourly resistance can be found at 1.0982 (25/09/2015 high). Expected to continued upside move.

• In the longer term, the technical structure remains negative as long as prices remain below the resistance at 1.1002 (02/09/2011 low).

• In the longer term, the break of the support at 130.15 validates a medium-term succession of lower highs and lower lows. As a result, the resistance at 149.78 (08/12/2014 high) has likely marked the end of the rise that started in July 2012. Key supports stand at 124.97 (13/06/2013 low) and 118.73 (25/02/2013 low). A key resistance can be found at 141.06 (04/06/2015 high).

Further consolidation.
