  • 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

Call update: Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-Bearish-Bat-Pattern-on-AUD-CHF-good-to-go-short-on-close-below-5-DMA-838505) has hit all targets.

Recommendation: Book partial profits at lows. Lower trailing stops to 0.7635. Hold for 0.7540/ 0.75.
