Daily analysis of USD/CHF for January 10, 2014





Overview:
According to the previous events, the price of the USD/CHF pair has still been movin between the levels of 0.9115 and 0.9003. In the same away, the range of the pair was around 60 pips today. Volatility was only 54,56; therefore, the market indicates lower volatility, so we expect medium volatility on January 10, 2013, because, as it is known, the market is low volatile if the last day had not huge volatility. Additionally, the level of 0.9115 has set below 78.6% of Fibonacci retracement levels and it has formed a strong resistance for that the key level of 0.9115 is represented for downtrend to confirm the bearish market. Equally important, the market was so stable and the trend was also too clear (downward). In consequence, sell deals are recommended below the 0.9115 level with targets at 0.9065 in order to test the minor support, and it will resume towards 0.9010 to attempt testing the support of the week at the 0.9003 level.
