Good news for USD/CHF bears! The pair wasn’t able to break above the 61% Fibonacci level that we were talking about last week, and went back on track with trading within the downward channel we’ve been talking about for months. It just entered the prevailing Ichimoku cloud with the RSI heading south below the neutrality area.
Remember my horror story about this pair a few weeks ago where my broker didn’t complete my exit? I’m still stuck with my bearish position with my stop loss order set a little above the 0.61% Fibonacci level. As you might remember I was hoping that the pair won’t confirm the break above 61% Fibo despite my famous saying that “Hope is not profitable in forex trading.” Well this time I got lucky 🙂
I’m planning to get out of this market at either 0.8831 or the previous bottom at 0.87 depending on the market sentiment. Now if the pair decides to go nuts again and suddenly break above the 61% Fibo level at 0.903 (and potentially give me a heart attack,) we could see gains towards a previous top at 0.9150 and .09250 in extension.
On the fundamental news, President Obama seems to be growing more tired of the political process by the day. The President has threatened to use executive orders to get immigration reform in place, as he sees no hope of it happening through the normal channels. Mr Obama also threatened ‘executive orders’ would be used to support Iraq and previously to get the debt ceiling debate taken care of. Meanwhile some four million people are stuck in the system, trying to join their families in the US.
One thing he didn’t seem concerned about that much though was the murder of three teenagers, Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Fraenkel who had American and Israeli citizenship by the Hamas terrorists, which brought anger to many people around the world.
“President Obama, you could not be more incorrect.” says a disappointed citizen, “You could not be more naïve. You could not be more mistaken by reality. You refused to make an official statement about the kidnapping of these boys, yet you expect the State of Israel to make concessions to pave the way for “peace” with a Palestinian government that includes the perpetrating terrorist organization that murdered Eyal, Gil-ad, and Naftali. You did not threaten funding to the Palestinian Authority as long as its government is supported by Hamas.”
These could have caused Ms. USA to edge down against her dancing partners.
