GBP/CHF chart on Trading View used for analysis

  • GBP/CHF has been on an upward spiral since beginning of the September month.
     
  • The pair has broken major resistances and had cleared the 38..2% Fib retracement at 1.30.
     
  • Price is extending upside for the 3rd straight week and technicals support further gains.
     
  • The pair finds immediate resistance at 55W EMA at 1.31 ahead of 200-DMA at 1.3127.
     
  • Breakout at 200-DMA will see further upside. Scope then for test of 61.8% Fib at 1.3322.
     
  • Focus now on UK monthly GDP data. Analysts forecast a print at 0.1%, slightly lower from the previous month's 0.3%.
