USD/CHF Elliott Wave
Since our last analysis the USD/CHF pair was trading in a upward move finishing corrective (4) wave (coloured purple) of the bigger 3 wave (coloured blue). Yesterday during the early European session we could observe a descending movement towards the 0.9580 and we can consider this move as the end of the B wave of the bigger (4) wave (coloured purple). Therefore, during the New York session the USD/CHF pair start pushing higher when developing the final C wave. At the moment we can observe the start of the final 5 wave (coloured purple) of the bigger 3 wave (coloured blue) and we can expect to see price around 0.9416 soon. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave 3 retraces 161.8% of the wave 1, we can define the potential targets with Fibonacci Extensions (0.9798-0.9699-0.9767), with Take Profit at 0.9416 (161.8% of wave 1). To reduce the risk, we can use invalidation point at 0.9696 level as Stop Loss. Also it is necessary to monitor the CHF Employment Level and U.S. S&P/CS Composite-20 HPI y/y, CB Consumer Confidence data that can change the rate of the pair.
