GBP/CHF Trend of the Day Update

The trend remains up and the retrace provides a good entry at or near the daily 200 SMA at 1.7450. Another strategy would be to have a manually trailed entry order a few pips above the last 4 hour high in order to be stopped into the trade with a 1 ATR stop below an entry and a 2 ATR Limit. This could be a volatile trade in anticipation of a possible intervention repeat, so position size should be scaled down.
As I stated yesterday, the 200 SMA served as a strong support for GBP/CHF. The pair is up some 320 pips at the time of this writing and may close in on its target soon.
