USDCHF
Anyone looking at a USDCHF chart will be focusing on two levels: .8000 (psychological) and .7997
Tough call with a big void below .7997 but so far .8000 seems to have been defended (low .8003).
On the other side, risk stays on downside intra-day as long as it trades below .8022.
USDCHF 1 HOUR CHART

Using my platform as a HEATMAP shows,,,
.. the dollar is trading more on the defensive after yesterday’s strong start failed to follow through. Focus shifts to US data: Weekly Jobless Claims, Q2 GDP and PCE (2nd estimate). French political concerns remain a cloud but in the background for now.
On order of strength vs the USD
1. AUD
2. CHF
3. JPY
4. NZD
5. CAD
6. EUR (focus back to 1.1650)
7. GBP

Re “A must read after Wed’s price whipsaws
Forex Trading Tip: Watch Out for Stops and Use Them to Your Advantage!”
I simply LOVE the references to the predatory themes (via mildly crude words such as “hunt”) discussed in the piece.
FX is a very liberal market to enter, just like a blackjack table, but it also shows no friendship nor mercy to all would-be predators.
POOF! … “good for increasing their anxiety” …
now that 1.1650 + printed.
also means that the mix of players around the table got balanced
and so players can now be looking at each through their mirror reflector glasses as they try to game each other’s reaction to next data release (minutes) and potential officialdom yakkers

NVDA: Nvidia Faces Earnings Test as Government Rules Out Investment
For now, all eyes remain on Nvidia’s results. Analysts expect earnings of $1.01 per share on revenue of $46.13 billion. The options market is pricing in a sharp move, potentially shifting the company’s market cap by $270 billion after results are released.

USDCHF
Went from a follower to a leader with offsets from a weaker EURCHF putting some downward pressure on USDCHF.
Range still .8000-.8100 (actual range .7997-.8104) with .8016 blocking the bottom of it.
Trades offered while below .8050 but either general USD or EURCHF weakness would be needed to make a run at .8000.

ETHUSD – Ethereum
It is obvious that Ether is gunning to retain the Uptrend, but is it going to happen depends on few things…
First of all it has to keep it up till tonight’s close and should close above 4630.00
If it does so, tomorrow must go above at least 4695.00 and hold on the gains
Failure of any of those two would result in a drop towards 4370.00 , and if lost opens a way for 3880.00
In case Uptrend continues, stiff resistance awaits at 5085.00

The timing of this article couldn’t have been better as today is a classic case of an intra-day market trading an old episode (dollar up) when a new episode had begun the other way (dollar down). Article is worth a read.
