(Please click on the forex chart thumbnail to enlarge)
10/27/2011 Forex Trading Technical Analysis (FXpath.com) – USD/CHF (daily chart) as of Thursday (10/27/2011) has extended its fall substantially after breaking the neckline of a well-formed head-and-shoulders reversal pattern. Thursday’s price action saw the pair drop more than 200 pips to hit a 7-week low just below 0.8600, approaching key support in the 0.8550 price region. 0.8550 represents a key level that has been respected several times in the past both as support and as resistance. With price approaching such low levels, bearish momentum off the reversal pattern could well extend further to the downside. In the event of a breakdown below 0.8550, price action could begin targeting further downside around the next key support level below, in the 0.8275 price region.
