USD/CHF

Corrects lower after reaching a series of yearly highs, with 1.1694 reached so far. Positive structure remains intact while 1.1511 spike low holds, and fresh gains through 1.1694 to target 1.1785 trendline resistance. Below 1.1511, however, allows stronger pullback and opens 1.1449 instead.


Res: 1.1622, 1.1694, 1.1725, 1.1742
