USDCHF Technical Analysis 14.07 - 21.07 : Correction Finished, What Next?
I am suggesting to the people who are just starting to trade - use USDCHF as the first one : trade it on demo by manual systems or any etc. After you are comfortable with this pair - move your trading activity to EURUSD, after that - to GBPUSD and USDJPY. Once you understand those 4 pairs - select just one pair for you to trade.
Why to start with USDCHF? because this pair is leading with EURUSD/USDCHF combination, and because this pair is having very clear movement which may be correlated to the most of the forex systems. means: it is more easy to trade this pair than some other pairs for example.
Just almost same technical analysis for the coming trading week from some specialized external website (for USDCHF of course) :
==========
USD/CHF weekly outlook: July 15 - 19 :
The dollar was little changed against the Swiss franc on Friday as the greenback took a pause following a selloff earlier in the week, which saw it drop from six-week highs against the Swissy.
USD/CHF hit session lows of 0.9438, before settling at 0.9459, down 0.09% for the day, and 1.89% lower for the week.
The pair is likely to find support at 0.9402, Thursday’s low and the lowest since June 26 and resistance at 0.9592, Thursday’s high.
The dollar fell sharply on Wednesday after comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke saw traders reassess expectations on the timing of a possible reduction to the bank’s easing program.
Bernanke said the Fed will continue to maintain accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future, citing low levels of inflation and the high unemployment rate.
Bernanke said the bank will not raise interest rates until the U.S. unemployment rate hits 6.5%.
The comments came after the minutes of the central bank’s June policy meeting showed that Fed policymakers remain divided over when to begin tapering its USD85 billion-a-month asset purchase program.
Around half of Fed policymakers believe the bank should start to scale back bond purchases by the end of the year, while many others believe the labor market still remains too weak.
Data on Friday showed that U.S. consumer sentiment ticked lower in July, with the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index slipping to 83.9 from 84.1 in June, compared to expectations for a reading of 85.0.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said Friday the U.S. central bank should wind down its monetary stimulus program by the end of this year. Elsewhere, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said the bank should not start tapering asset purchases if inflation remains weak.
In the week ahead, investors will be looking ahead to U.S. data on retail sales, consumer inflation and housing sector activity for indications that the U.S. recovery is on track. Meanwhile, Switzerland is to produce data on inflation and economic expectations.
Ahead of the coming week, Investing.com has compiled a list of these and other significant events likely to affect the markets. The guide skips Friday as there are no relevant events on this day.

U.S. Homebuilder Confidence Unexpectedly Improves To Seven-Year High :
Homebuilder confidence in the U.S. has unexpectedly improved in the month of July, according to a report released by the National Association of Home Builders on Tuesday, with the reading on homebuilder confidence reaching its highest level in well over seven years.
The report showed that the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index jumped to 57 in July from a downwardly revised 51 in June.
Economists had expected the index to come in unchanged compared to the 52 originally reported for the previous month.
With the unexpected increase, the housing market index rose to its highest level since a matching reading in January of 2006.
NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe said, "Builders are seeing more motivated buyers coming through their doors as the inventory of existing homes for sale continues to tighten."
"Meanwhile, as the infrastructure that supplies home building returns, some previously skyrocketing building material costs have begun to soften," he added.
The unexpected increase by the housing market index reflected increases by all three of the components that make up the headline index.
The component gauging current sales conditions rose to 60 in July from 55 in June, reaching its highest level since early 2006.
Additionally, the component gauging sales expectations in the next six months jumped to 67 in July from 60 in June, while the component gauging traffic of prospective buyers climbed to 45 from 40. Both readings were at their highest level since late 2005.
The report also showed increases by the housing market indexes for all four regions of the country. The index for the West showed a substantial increase, surging up by to 62 in July from 50 in June.
On Wednesday, the Commerce Department is scheduled to release its report on new residential construction in the month of June. Economists expect housing starts to climb to an annual rate of 951,000.

USDCHF price was on correction for whole the week crossed kumo (Ichimoku cloud) from bullish to primary bearish, and broke almost all support levels on the way to go to downtrend. This correction is finished on open D1 bar, and we are having the flat market condition for H4 timeframe. By the way, H4 price is already in primary bearish on close bar.
Ichimoku cloud (kumo) is very thin on D1 timeframe - just 7 pips only. So, the price can break it back to go to uptrend in very easy way. On the on the other hand, if the price will break 0.9404 support level on close bar so this finishing correction will be continuing to the primary bearish and we may have good possibilities to go short for example. I think - it is some kind of dilemma in this case: where the price will go to in the next week. It is very easy for the price to be reversed to primary bullish to continue uptrend because Ichimoku kumo is very thin on D1 timeframe. But we may be able to see good downtrend too in case the price will break 0.9404 support level. I think - fundamental news events (economic calendar) will "tell" to us the possible future direction of USDCHF for the coming week,
