USD/CHF Technical Analysis: awaits ascending triangle breakout for fresh directional impetus

   •  Repeated failure from the vicinity of parity mark has been finding support near an ascending trend-line, extending from lows touched in April and twice in June.

   •  The combination of horizontal resistance and ascending trend-line support now seems to constitute towards forming an ascending triangle on the daily chart.

   •  The fact that the pair remains comfortably above medium/long-term moving averages (100 & 200-day SMA) further reinforces the bullish formation.

   •  Short-term technical indicators hold in neutral territory and hence, it would prudent to wait for a decisive break in either direction before positioning for the near-term trajectory.
