Weekly  graphic

USD/CHF is trading at 0.9288 now after having broken a major support zone located at 0.9277 with the line 4/8 (blue line) during the previous week. This allows us to see that the pair is still in a sales area, plus the minimum reached during last week was 0.9173.

Since line 3/8 of Murrey lines, is has to be the basis of quotation range and line 4/8 in this case becomes an important resistance, we can wait, at least, for next few days, firstly a decrease to 0.9155 for a likely fall to 0.9033 where the line 2/8 (red line) is located and in this case would come has to be a strong line reversal.

Let us also note that both the oscillator strength, as well as the trend oscillator, are in a sales region.

In a day sails we can see that USD/CHF has experienced small shrinkage during Friday’s session after touching the base of its uptrend channel.

But today a few hours of negotiation below the opening price and the center line of a secondary channel clear downtrend. Therefore, we think that seek to break the minimum price achieved during Thursday’s session that was at 0.9173 to record a new low this probably around 0.9155, an area where the line is located just 3/8 (green line) math lines Murray. 

Since the line 3/8 becomes the basis of the trading range, if we sell at current levels, we can get out in that area with a take profit and wait for a new retraction in order to enter aiming selling 0.9033
