The EUR/CHF continues to trade alongside its double support level which is comprised of its ascending support line as well as its horizontal support line. This currency pair has been trapped in a rectangular chart pattern and has not violated support and resistance levels. Price action is confined to an intra-day low of 1.2044 which it reached on September 4th 2014 and an intra-day high of 1.2118 which it reached on September 10th 2014.
Price action has been trading sideways alongside its horizontal support line, but is now experiencing upward pressure from its ascending support line. Binary options traders can capitalize on the expected move upward with binary call options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed on dips below 1.2070 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/1.67.
Volatility has been relatively low over the past few trading weeks which resulted in a decrease in overall price movements. The horizontal support line is a very solid support level and sellers were unable to force a breakdown. Buyers in the EUR/CHF have been reluctant to push this currency pair higher, but the ascending support level is expected to put upward pressure on this currency pair in order to test its horizontal resistance level once again.
The expected move higher will face its first resistance test at the 1.2089 level which is an intra-day high reached on September 25th 2014 and represents a level which halted the previous attempt to move higher before price action was reversed back down to its support level. A successful breakout will take this currency pair to the 1.2100 level where psychological resistance could challenge an advance. The final resistance level awaits the EUR/CHF at its intra-day high of 1.2118 reached on September 4th 2014.
