Extended recovery off 1.1875, fresh yearly low, clearing 1.2272 resistance, to reach 1.2297 high thus far. Immediate pullback followed, with 1.2162 offering initial support, and while above here, scope remains for fresh push higher. Break above 1.2297 to expose 1.2325/66. Loss of 1.2162/49, however, allows stronger correction towards 1.2110/1.2045.

USD/CHF

Continues to trend lower off 1.1730 peak, with fresh low of 1.1348 reached yesterday. Bounce from here followed, currently attempting at 1.1473. Clearance of the latter will open way for further correction and focus 1.1545/53. Failure to do so, keeps immediate bears in play for 1.1348 retest and possible extension to 1.1266.

Res: 1.1473, 1.1502, 1.1545, 1.1553
Sup: 1.1395, 1.1348, 1.1325, 1.1300
