July’s ADP and NFP employment reports, released last week, both showed drastic increases in job creation, with ADP’s private sector data showing 14 consecutive months of growth.
The pair continues to consolidate near its 200 moving average after the impressive decline from the previous days. The market has made an attempt below parity but closed above this level.
The pair remains well bid after a confirmation of the bullish resumption which resulted in a possible long term reversal (double bottom formation).
With a new intervention of the Swiss National Bank yesterday, we did see the pair sharply reversing with a 400 pips move to the upside. All the CHF pairs have surged the same way.
The pair is still under pressure threatening its yearly low at 76,30 which offered a great support lately. A break below this level would expose further significant decline.
The 1,6240 support broken on Wednesday has now become resistance and is currently being tested following yesterday’s pullback.
The pair continues to trade back and forth as there is no clear directional bias.
