Jim Langlands FX Charts

USDCHF: 0.9295

US$Chf had a choppy Wednesday, rising to 0.9373 before reversing to a low of 0.9285, and at the end of the session the dollar is closing near the lows.

1 hour/4 hour indicators: Turning lower.

Daily Indicators: Turning higher

Weekly Indicators: Turning lower

Preferred Strategy: The short term momentum indicators are looking heavy, and below 0.9285 opens up the Feb low of 0.9250, below which there is little support ahead of 0.9150.

On the topside, resistance will be seen at 0.9350/70 although above here looks unlikely today. If wrong, further offers will arrive near 0.9400 and above this would allow a move back towards 0.9470

Sidelined.

EUR/USD is keeping its foot on the gas at the start of the week, reclaiming the 1.1900 barrier and above on Monday. The US Dollar remains on the back foot, with traders reluctant to step in ahead of Wednesday’s key January jobs report, allowing the pair to extend its upward grind for now.

GBP/USD hits three-day peaks, targets 1.3700

GBP/USD is clocking decent gains at the start of the week, advancing to three-day highs near 1.3670 and building on Friday’s solid performance.
