USD/CHF weekly technical levels for December 16-20, 2013

Weekly technical levels:

Notes:

Support: 0.8840
Resistance: 0.8950
New range: 110 pips.

Pivot points general overview:

R3 and S3 are considered to be clear indicators of the maximum range of extreme volatility, though it is possible to pass them through.
Pivot lines work well on the sideways markets, as the prices are most likely to be located between the R1 and S1 lines.
Within a strong trend, the price is expected to be lower than the pivot point line and continue the movement.
If the breaking news released affects the market, the price is likely to go straight through R1 or S1 and even reach R2 and R3 or S2 and S3.

Observations:

If the trend is buoyant, then the strength of the currency will be defined as following: USD is in an uptrend and CHF is in a downtrend.
Fibonacci retracement is used to determine accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account.
Fibonacci is in a trading range; it looks like the trend is trapping and going up or down. If you sell or buy in the long term, you will surely lose your profit.
Stop loss should NEVER exceed your maximum exposure amounts.
As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the last day had huge volatility.
