TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

USDCHF: Swiss CPI may breathe some life into the Majors

I'll admit to struggling to find charts of particular interest today. However we do have CHF CPI which may provide some volatility at least as we have no scheduled 'red news' tonight.

We are within an uptrend and within a bullish wedge but for me to be interested in a long position I would like to see a retracement towards the daily Pivot and to see bullish reversal patterns at this support zone before targeting the Daily R1 Pivot.

0.8890-30 support zone comprises of the Daily Pivot; Weekly Pivot; H4 21eMA; - as long as we remain above here throughout today's session I prefer to seek bullish setups.

​However if Asia trading is anything to go by then perhaps do not expect any 'home runs' and it is OK to not trade during a session if an opportunity does not present itself.
