FxWirePro: AUD/CHF slumps massive 1.40 pct on the day, CHF spikes on risk-off

• AUD/CHF has slumped a massive 1.40% on the day to hit fresh 2-week lows at 0.7568.
   
• The Swiss franc was the top performer on the day, as markets spooked amidst intensifying tensions between US and North Korea.
   
• Technically, we note a 'Bearish Bat Pattern' on AUD/CHF daily charts which combined with bearish divergence has seen downside.
   
• We see scope for further downside. 200-DMA at 0.7502 is next likely bear target.
   
• On the flipside, we see bearish invalidation only on close above 5-DMA at 0.7680.

Support levels - 0.7536 (38.2% Fib 0.7146 to 0.77778 rally), 0.7502 (200-DMA), 0.7465 (July 24 low)

Resistance levels - 0.7617 (20-DMA), 0.7628 (23.6% Fib), 0.7680 (5-DMA), 0.77
