USD/CHF Broke a Falling Channel; 0.9511 is in Sight

Forex Technical Update

USD/CHF 4H chart 3/1/2013 8:20AM EST

Channel breakout: The USD/CHF had been consolidating around 0.93 for a few days as a rising channel challenged a larger falling channel. The 2/28 and 3/1 session so far has broken out of that consolidation, and even pushed above the 0.9381 resistance pivot. The RSI is tagging 70, a sign of bullish momentum.

The current level around 0.9420 is almost at the 200-day SMA, and we saw resistance around this level in Sept 2012. If the market can hold above 0.9380, it would be a good sign that it is still bullish, and if it is, the next key resistance pivot could be at 0.9511 the origin of the broken-falling channel.
