We favor a long-term bearish bias. Support is now given at 101.20 (09/11/2016 low). A gradual rise towards the major resistance at 125.86 (05/06/2015 high) seems unlikely. Expected to decline further support at 93.79 (13/06/2013 low).

In the long-term, the pair is still trading in range since 2011 despite some turmoil when the SNB unpegged the CHF. Key support can be found at 0.9072 (07/05/2015 low). The technical structure favours nonetheless a long term bullish bias since the unpeg in January 2015.

Hourly resistance is given at 1.2520 (17/01/2018 high) while further resistance given at 1.2589 (01/01/2018) is momentarily out of reach.

In the long-term, the trend is turning positive. Key supports stands at 0.6009 (31/10/2008 low). A break of the key resistance at 0.8164 (14/05/2015 high) is needed to invalidate our long-term bearish view (drawing near).

Yet, the ECB's slowing QE program is likely to cause buying pressures on the euro, which should weigh in favour of the EUR/CHF.
