The British pound is gaining pips on the Swiss franc after bouncing from a key support zone!
Think GBP/CHF is ready to return to its September highs?
GBP/CHF Daily Forex Chart by TradingView
Sterling slipped on Monday after BOE’s Ramsden leaned dovish and risk-takers grew nervous about a possible U.S. government shutdown.
The Swiss franc wasn’t much better off, since most safe-haven demand flowed into gold and the yen instead.
Even so, GBP/CHF bounced back yesterday, stretching the upswing that started from a bounce from the 1.0650 support level on the charts.
Remember that directional biases and volatility conditions in market price are typically driven by fundamentals. If you haven’t yet done your homework on the British pound and the Swiss franc, then it’s time to check out the economic calendar and stay updated on daily fundamental news!
GBP/CHF is now trading comfortably above 1.0700, which could draw in enough buying pressure to push the pair to higher inflection points like the 1.0750 and 1.0800 levels.
As you can see, the levels align with a previous area of interest as well as a trend line resistance that marks the roof of a descending triangle pattern. It’s also not too far from the Pivot Point (1.0802) area.
We’re keeping an eye out for bearish candlesticks in this zone, which could drag GBP/CHF back toward the S1 Pivot Point at 1.0640 and 2025’s lows.
On the flip side, if the pair pushes past the triangle resistance and holds above it, the move could open the door for a run at 1.0900 and maybe even 1.0950.
Whichever bias you end up trading, don’t forget to practice proper risk management and stay aware of top-tier catalysts that could influence overall market sentiment.
