GBP/CHF heading for a fall

Short
FX:GBPCHF   British Pound / Swiss Franc
Using 3 moving averages and plotting support and resistance can tell a lot about the "state" of price. We see our moving averages bullish from early July, peak in the middle of August and since then consolidate. There is an important long-term support/resistance line in the vicinity of 1.4650 which is where price lies now. The moving averages are now bearish, and we are looking for the support/resistance line to break.
On Tuesday, the Swiss report trade balance numbers where they have beaten the forecasted number the last five times. A beat is bullish for the CHF. Also on Tuesday BOE Governor Carney speaks and I anticipate he will work to weaken the GBP with his speech.
The British report retail sales numbers on Thursday, which have been weak recently as well.
