The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

USD/CHF Analysis

I wrote last Thursday that as the U.S. Dollar was stronger, so it may be that a bullish break above 1.0008 was a little more possible. This pair was not in the market’s focus and is generally range-bounce, so all strong reversals off key levels in any direction were probably good bets. I had no directional bias.

In fact, the price began to make a relatively strong bearish movement that day, which has continued, due to the flow into safe havens which obviously includes the Swiss Franc. Technically this bearish movement is also probably helped by the fat that the price was struggling to rise much above the parity level, so it was easier for it to fall than rise.

I think it is quite likely that the price will continue to fall to at least 0.9850, where it may find some support and eventually turn around to rise somewhat again. Market sentiment does not usually change on a slow Monday, so the Franc is quite likely to remain strong over the short-term.

There is nothing important due today concerning either the CHF or the USD.
