By Greg Holden<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Swiss franc\u2019s bullish run against most of its currency counterparts may begin to see corrective movement as the year comes to an end.<\/p>\n

The influx of positive economic data out of the United States has begun to push many traders back into riskier assets and away from traditional safe-havens. Both the USD and CHF represent safe-havens in times of trouble, but the franc has been more so since the recent debt fallout across Europe began to plague other investments.<\/p>\n

As such, the franc may be in a position to experience some moderate corrections over the next week or two as the year comes to an end.<\/p>\n

As we can see from the chart below, this pair continues to move within a bearish trend, but technical indicators are suggesting that we may see upward movement in the immediate future.<\/p>\n

The MACD shows clear bullish crosses and an ascending price pattern, both of which highlight growing upward momentum and pressure.<\/p>\n

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recently entered the over-sold region on this pair, which supports this bullish notion.<\/p>\n

After yesterday\u2019s failed attempt to sustain a price above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement line at 0.9600, this pair now looks poised for a second attempt. Now may be a good time to go long on the USD\/CHF.<\/p>\n
