Technical Analysis – CHFJPY falters near 6-year high as positive momentum fades
The short-term negative structure is further reinforced by the stochastic oscillators. The MACD histogram has dropped below the red signal line in the positive area, while the RSI has eased slightly below the 50-neutral mark.
Should the bullish bias continue to fade and the price dips lower, the pair would find immediate support at the 122.57 level. If the bears push the price beneath this level, the next hurdle would be met at the 121.55 region. A drop below this barricade would push the pair towards 121.09, and even lower it could test the 120.57 region.
On the flipside, if buyers manage to retake control and the price ascents, the first challenge would probably be found at the 124.56 level. Overcoming this obstacle, the upside momentum could become more sustainable, clearing the way towards the 6-year high of 125.49. Higher up, the August 2015 low of 126.03 could prove to be a tough resistance point for the bulls.
To sum up, CHFJPY appears to have lost steam after posting a 6-year high but still holds its long-term bullish tone. Therefore, only a dive below the 119.23 level could threaten its long-term uptrend.Latest News
