The lows for the year have been breached here and the chart appears to be be rounding off a bottom.
I know that the trend is your friend...until it isn't.
Where am I wrong?
Businka, check this out. Now former support is now resistance for USD/CHF's daily chart. Not good for those bullish the pair.

Tons of bottom pickers out there according to the SSI. Bottom picking is usually unfruitful more times than not because a trend is statistically more likely to continue onward than it is to reverse.
