USD/CHF
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The USDCHF has rallied nearly 10 pips off of a session low at 0.9330 during European trading Friday, on the heels of upbeat IFO figures out of Germany Friday. Overall, the pair has continued its downward slide off of gains earlier this week. In these moments, the cross has settled in the region of 0.9345/45, down -0.09% on the day.
According to the Slobodan Drvenica, an analyst at Windsor Brokers Ltd., "Near-term bears remain fully in play, as the USDCHF resumes its downtrend that was interrupted by brief 0.9335/0.9366 correction. With its 20-day EMA capping the upside and slide below 0.9335 (previous low), bears are building up momentum for test of next targets at 0.9300, as Fib 61.8% of 0.9213/0.9511 and daily Ichimoku cloud base at 0.9325 are under pressure.
"Studies on 4h chart are maintaining negative tone, however, an approach to oversold territory may signal hesitation at the 0.9300 barrier. With daily indicators entering negative territory, further bearish action is seen as likely scenario. Key near-term barriers remain at 0.9400 and 0.9430 and only break here would provide relief. Should the pair fall below 0.9300, additional supports will trigger at 0.9275 onto 0.9237." notes Slobodan Drvenica.
In Germany, the IFO-Business Climate yielded a result of 101.4 in November, relative to expectations of only 99.5. Moreover, the IFO-Current Assessment came in at 108.1 in November, against consensus estimates of 106.3. Finally, IFO-Expectations were reported at 95.3 in the month of November, beating projections that called for only 93.2.
