Swiss Franc Expected to Weaken Further

Retail forex traders remain aggressively net-short the US Dollar (ticker: USDOLLAR) against the Swiss Franc as it presses to fresh highs, and such one-sided sentiment gives contrarian signal that the pair may continue to strengthen.

The weaker European Union economies are asking for lessened austerity measures and likely won’t receive it. This strategy stand-off could lead to a risk sell-off. In the event of risk sell off, the US Dollar stands to be the biggest beneficiary of Euro Summit indecision. Use the Donchian channel strategy to time entries and exits when buying the US Dollar.
