EUR/CHF

Moving higher after slight decrease.

EUR/CHF bullish momentum has paused. Hourly resistance is given at 1.1832 (15/01/2018 high). Expected to show short-term short-term decline.
In the longer term, the technical structure has reversed. Strong resistance is given at 1.20 (level before the unpeg). Yet, the ECB's QE programm is likely to cause persistent selling pressures on the euro, which should weigh on EUR/CHF. Supports can be found at 1.0184 (28/01/2015 low) and 1.0082 (27/01/2015 low).

BITCOIN (in USD)

On the way to recovery ?

Bitcoin keeps pushing up after a strong collapse. Hourly support area is located around 10'775 (22/12/2017 low). In the short-term, the technical structure suggests a continued bearish momentum. Expected to show further decline.
In the long-term, the digital currency has had an exponential growth but also presented important downturns. There are decent likelihood that the currency reaches $15'000 (December 2017 levels) in 2018.
