USD-CHF @ 1.1175/78...Holding Long R: 1.1283 / 1.1358-68 / 1.1410-31 / 1.1464 S: 1.1134 / 1.1061-45 / 0.1000-0995 Swiss has continued to trade strong during the European session today and recorded a high of 1.1242 and has slipped from there as it could not hold on to the gains. However, only if it dips below the 200-day MA once again, that the chances of it moving towards 1.1385 could be relinquished for the near term. It looks likely to make some upmove during the US session which makes us hold on to the Long we had entered into. In the broader picture, Swiss is expected to remain ranged between 1.05-1.14 over the next few days/weeks as it continues to remain entangled between the 8-, 13- and 21-MAs on the monthly charts. Holding: Long 10K USD @ 1.1192, SL 1.1140, TP 1.1280 Cable GBP-USD @ 1.4963/66...Support region: 1.4902-1.4884 R: 1.4981 / 1.5108-25 / 1.5148 S: 1.4900-880 / 1.4795-89 / 1.4759 Having found the trendline Resistance at 1.5350 from the daily chart on Friday, the pair has treaded lower and is finding Support at 8-week MA at 1.4902. If it manages to break the Support, it could tread towards 1.4850 as can be seen from the daily chart.
