GBPCHF's Bearish Breakout Flips to Bullish Fervor
06 November 2023
The GBPCHF currency pair has been on the radar for its noteworthy behavior since October 2022. For an extended period, it was confined within a pronounced sideways trend, hemmed in by a sturdy resistance (colored blue) and a robust support (colored green). A pivotal moment came in mid-October when a descent through the green support materialized, triggering a compelling sell signal, suggesting a bearish outlook.
The ensuing descent, albeit sharp—tallying over 240 pips—proved to be ephemeral. On October 23rd, the tide turned, marking the commencement of a bullish reversal. Initially dismissed as a mere correction, the movement has since been recognized as a genuine reversal. The subsequent ascent was marked by a yellow rectangle highlighting a false bearish breakout—a technical event often heralding strong moves in the opposite direction.
Currently, GBPCHF has re-established its position above the green support. Adding to the bullish conviction is the break through a descending red trendline. This confluence of technical events lays the groundwork for a positive outlook on the pair.
As long as the green support holds, the sentiment leans firmly towards the buyers, presenting a robust buy signal. Eyes are now on the blue horizontal resistance, which stands as the first significant target for this renewed bullish momentum.
