Setups for This Week:

USD/CHF 

Primary View:

• The price is currently correcting, but we are still defending the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
• As long as we stay above this level, there is potential for a buy signal with the target set on the green resistance.

Alternative View:

• If the price breaks below the 23.6% Fibonacci level, it will be a bearish sign, with the next target at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, which seems like the next legitimate support.

GBP/CHF 

Primary View:

• The price is currently battling two key supports. The first is a horizontal support marked in orange, which is being tested.
• Below this, we have a green long-term uptrend line. As long as the price stays above this line, the buy signal remains valid.

Alternative View:

• If the price breaks below the green uptrend line, it will signal a sell, indicating further downside potential.

Cocoa 

Primary View:

• The price has escaped from a wedge pattern marked with blue lines and resumed its uptrend.
• We are now seeing a flag formation marked with red lines. A breakout to the upside from this flag will be a strong buy signal.

Alternative View:

• Should the price break below the lower line of the flag and subsequently the yellow uptrend line, it will indicate a sell signal, suggesting a potential reversal.
