Price action continues to stick to the 1.1500 level

After having hit a high of 1.1714 in July, EUR/CHF has fallen back to test the 1.1500 handle currently. The highs last month tested the 100-day MA (red line) but fell short of breaking above it.

Since then, it's been a steady track lower again for the pair with the 1.1500 handle and the June lows being tested. In June, tests of the 1.1500 handle failed to see any daily closes below it so that will again be something to watch out for this time around.

For sellers, that is the next step in maintaining the bearish momentum seen in the pair over the last half-a-month. As for buyers, that is the level to defend once again.

Further support is seen near 1.1450 with key support seen in the region of 1.1368-88 (October and May lows).

At current levels, going long would be more attractive and risk levels can be readily defined and limited but there's still much momentum with sellers for the time being. Fundamentally, I still see the ECB and SNB dynamics favouring the euro more than the swissie (since the SNB will always be lagging behind and talk down their currency). However, price will go where it wants and right now the momentum is still heading towards the downside.

If buyers manage to sustain a defense of the 1.1500 handle, that may present a good level to get back into the game. As for the other side of the coin, if price falls below 1.1500 and breaks below the June low of 1.1480 then those support levels mentioned above will be ones to eye for.
