FxWirePro: AUD/CHF closes below 20-DMA, scope for downside on 'Bearish Bat' formation

  • AUD/CHF is seen consolidating massive slump on the previous day, trading a narrow range as we head into the EU session.
     
  • The pair hit fresh 2-week lows at 0.7568 before paring some losses to close at 0.7594.
     
  • Safe haven demand boosted CHF as markets spooked amidst intensifying tensions between US and North Korea.
     
  • Technically, the pair is extending downside after completing a 'Bearish Bat Pattern' on daily charts.
     
  • We also note bearish divergence of price action from RSI and Stochs which adds bearish bias.
     
  • The pair has closed below 20-DMA and we see scope for test of 200-DMA at 0.7502.
     
  • On the flipside, we see bearish invalidation only on close above 5-DMA at 0.7662.

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

Resistance levels - 0.7624 (20-DMA), 0.7628 (23.6% Fib), 0.7662 (5-DMA), 0.77
