CHF/SGD 1H Chart: Channel Down

The Swiss Franc is trading in a channel down against the Singapore Dollar. The given formation was created when the rate bounced off the bottom boundary of a longer-term falling wedge and continued to move in the same range even after this patter was breached. From theoretical point of view, the Franc should have appreciated after the breakout; however, given the chaotic nature of the pair's movement in the wedge, bulls could not to prevail. The pair is currently stranded from the upside by the 55– and 100-hour SMAs and the 100% Fibonacci extension line (drawn from the July high). In short-term, the rate is expected to test the upper channel boundary, which is reinforced by the 200-hour SMA circa 1.4050. Subsequently, the pair may trade even higher, taking into account technical indicators which suggest that a further momentum north is a likely option.
