USD/CHF Elliott Wave Forecast: Sideways Triangle

• Key Levels: Bearish below .8076.
• Target Zone: Wave ((v)) below .7829.

Current Elliott Wave Analysis

The Elliott wave analysis for the USD/CHF daily chart illustrates a sideways consolidation underway from the July low. This consolidation appears to be wave ((iv)) of a 5-wave bearish impulse pattern.

Wave ((iv)) appears to be taking on the shape of a symmetrical triangle. After another down up sequence, then the pattern may be ripe for a bearish breakdown.

This pricing within the triangle should remain below .8076 to remain valid. On a print above .8076 resistance, then we’ll consider an alternate count that a motive wave is developing from the September low.

Bottom Line

USD/CHF is likely carving a sideways triangle pattern that is bearish. After another down up sequence that holds below .8076 we are anticipating a bearish break to retest .7829.

In the unexpected rally above .8076, then we’ll consider the alternate counts.
