FXStreet Team FXStreet

EUR/CHF has broken above the 1.0653 late March high and into two-month highs, as Commerzbank’s Karen Jones notes. Now, the pair heads to the 1.0709 March high.

Key quotes

“While dips hold over the 55-day ma at 1.0562 the market will remain bid. A close above 1.0661 (favoured) would target the March high at 1.0709 and further up the 200-day moving average at 1.0772.”

“Only a daily chart close below the 1.0500 mark would signal losses to the 1.0236 April 2015 low (not favoured).”

Taking out the lines in the sand

Good Day... And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Well, just as I suspected, my beloved Cardinals' bats went silent last night in the Bronx, and they lost 0-2... The Yankees' bats were exactly a murderer's row, but they hit 2 homers and won. I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!
