Best Financial Markets Analysis Article So far in 2010 the bears in EUR/CHF have been the clear dominant force. Any support found has proved fleeting. Recently a temporary halt in downtrend was seen, so it is appropriate to take stock of the technical position.

The FX Specialist view

WEEKLY CHART:

The second of two bear channel base projections was recently tested – and so far it has provided good support.

But there is little in the current chart structure that suggests bear fatigue...

DAILY CHART:

With a temporary low established we have tentatively drawn in a couple of s/term retracement levels:

- note how 23.6% has provided s/term resistance, the market currently trying to break higher. Success would be a small positive sign.

Besides the intervening 1.3731 09-Jun low, note higher resistance around the 1.4000 area – former May lows and 61.8%. In fact, with the current 1.3070 low, this looks most key, as there are other, longer term, Fibo retracements (not shown) that fall close to this area too. A recovery through this latter would look bullish.

One point of technical interest – note that the 1.3070 low was an approximate 2.618 swing target off prior 1.3997/1.4587 May rally.
