Initiate short position: USD/CHF with target at 0.8750


The USD/CHF has been sending confusing signals over the last year - setting and re-setting weekly ranges (brown lines in chart above).

We saw higher than average volatility over the course of last week which fuels confidence of the current trade lower to 0.8250.

Government shutdown "resolve" and Janet as the Fed chief has introduced volatility in the USDX. I still believe there is further downside for the USDX which would support EUR longs as well as CHF sell positions.

A down-swing is forming at the moment so a possible double bounce might be in order before going lower towards my target of 0.8750.

Still 5-6 weeks more to go so a quick move down now would possibly impact my Dec target.

A very weak double re-test of support before it broke below 0.9000. The re-test towards the end of October is according to plan and with increased volatility following the FOMC, we could see the USD/CHF go lower towards 0.8750; at least that is what I still expect given the current volatility bands.
