EURO

Trading above the 161.8% fibonacci extension at 1.4850 gave the pair the opportunity to correct to the upside. But direction indicators don't support the upside trend but rather downside movements where also momentum indicators show a correction on the short term. However, the medium term trend remains to the downside

The trading range for today might extend among the support level at 1.4725 and the resistance level at 1.5160

A support level was created for the pair that helped it gain momentum to the upside on the short term. With 1.8900 intact, an upside channel will be initiated on the short term noting that this level is near the key supportlevel for the ascending channel that started in 2001 at 1.8880. From here we expect prices to correct to the upside today and tomorrow as long as 1.8880 isn't breached.

CHF

The pair failed to breach the 1.0910 resistance level for the upside channel on the medium term but we see the pair now trading above the 50 week moving average where the price could correct slightly before heading towards the resistance level at 1.0925. As the channel is leaning towards the upside, it will taret the 1.1015. The correctional level at 38.2% for the dowinsde movement that started on 13 November 2005 and ended on 16 March 2008 but if the pair fails to build a solid base above the moving average at 1.0835 on the weekly chart, we expect a fall and a change in the short term trend but the medium trend remains to the upside.
