USD/CHF: 1-hour
First up for the day is a potential resistance play on USD/CHF. Those who are bullish on the scrilla probably know that the pair is having trouble reaching the .9300 major psychological hurdle. This time not only is the pair testing the resistance line again, but an overbought Stochastic signal is also supporting a bearish trade! You think the dollar bears will finally flex their muscles today? Don’t forget to put your stop loss above the .9300 area if you’re planning on shorting the Greenback!
AUD/USD: 1-hour
I know you can’t get enough of them divergences, so here’s another one for ya! On AUD/USD‘s 1-hour chart is a simple divergence and oversold Stochastic setup. If you zoom in your charts, you can see that the pair has found support at the 1.0050 minor psychological level. Happy Pip also pointed out that 1.0036 is the bottom weekly ATR this week, so you might want to place your stops below that area if you’re long on the comdolls today.
