The forecast for the CHF/JPY turned bearish after price action accelerated higher. Both currencies are considered safe-haven currencies and set to perform better during risk-off sessions, but the recent run-up threatened the stability of the rally. The Kijun-sen and the Tenkan-sen turned flat, suggesting a rise of volatility may follow accompanied by choppy trading. A correction into its ascending Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud is likely to follow after the CCI moves out of extreme overbought territory from a lower high.
