What to Watch: CAD/CHF
This pair is already sitting at the bottom of its short-term range, and it looks like support is holding.
Will it bounce back to the range top from here?
Stochastic is already moving up from the oversold region, which means that buyers are regaining the upper hand while sellers take a break.
In that case, CAD/CHF could climb back to the range resistance at .7280 next.
Just be careful since the moving averages just showed a bearish crossover, although these indicators might not be so reliable in rangebound markets. Still, be on the lookout for some resistance around these dynamic inflection points.
There are no major reports from both Canada and Switzerland today, but concerns about a crude oil supply crunch could keep the correlated Loonie afloat.
After all, production disruptions from Hurricane Ida likely weighed on output in the past week, so traders might be counting on a large draw in stockpiles.
