CHFJPY Looking For An Exit

From around the beginning of January, CHFJPY continues to move sideways, while trading roughly between 169.30 and 171.50 levels. While the pair remains inside that range, the rate could continue moving sideways. That said, given that the prevailing trend is to the upside, there is a greater chance the breakout could occur through the upper side of that range.

If CHFJPY makes a move through the upper side of the range, this will confirm a forthcoming higher high, potentially attracting more buyers into the action. Given that the pair would enter uncharted territory, there are no historic resistance barriers available, hence why we will target hurdles such as 173.00 and 175.00.

Alternatively, a drop below the lower side of the aforementioned range, at 169.30, could spook the remaining bulls from the field for a while. That's when CHFJPY could travel to the 166.78 zone, marked by the current lowest point of this year. If that zone surrenders and breaks, this move will establish a new low for the year, possibly creating an opportunity to send the rate to the 165.65 level. That level marks the low of December 21st.
