Range within range and break, EUR/CHF study
Aggiornato
An exercise of slope analysis on EUR/CHF, one of the pairs believed to be most suited for range trading (but beware of the Bank of Switzerland interventions!). A year long wide uptrending channel has formed which has certainly given a few entry opportunities. However, what I find interesting is the tendency that price had to form relatively tidy descending triangles following a rally from the bottom of the channel. These triangular formations have been regularly broken to the upside with considerable follow-through. Recently, we have seen a certain tapering of the main channel with a rally from the midline (instead of the bottom) and subsequent break to the upside and formation of a smaller uptrending channel.
These ranges lure us in with their promise of predictability and order... but how long can they last?
The most recent price action seems to suggest a short term bearish development that could see another touch and test of the channel's bottom. Could that be an opportunity for a break-out to the downside? The target of such a move could be as low as a juicy ~1.055 (fibo extension target).
These things need strong fundamentals though, and such a break-out picture should go together with a major risk-off move, maybe coupled with a hard blow to the European Union... One imminent high risk event comes to mind... (I personally hope that doesn't happen!).
The flip side of that would see a continuation of the comfortable, predictable, boring channel.
