Due to the recent rally the indicator has peaked again, suggesting a small correction is due. A dip below 1.5054 will open the way towards 1.5010. Besides protecting the large round number 1.5000, this level offered perfect resistance earlier in May, consequently it could become a pivot zone and provide support as price tests it from above. If GBP\/CHF manages to crack the 1.5000 handle, 1.4900 is the strongest confluence where the pair should find enough support (strong price pivot zone, 200 Simple Moving Average on 4H time frame, bullish trendline).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the Trade Balance falls short of 2.43B and Employment Levels do not reach the forecast of 4.21M, then we can expect the pair to rally above the resistance with little effort. The first major resistance lies at 1.5246, followed by 1.5348. Ultimately, if 2014\u2019s Highs are breached, the long term target for the following months might be 2012\u2019s High of 1.5480.<\/p>\n<p>*********<br \/>\n<em>Prepared by Alexandru Z., Chief Currency Strategist at <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capitaltrustmarkets.com\/\"><em>Capital Trust Markets<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical Sentiment: Bullish Key Takeaways GBP bulls are taking a break near January 23rd High; CHF Trade Balance and Employment Level will be released Tuesday morning; A retracement towards 1.5000 is very likely this week.
