With the US session closed for a holiday today, traders should prepare for a busy European session with key inflation reports from Germany and Eurozone sentiment data. Last week marked a solid bear market rally, allowing equity markets a breather from heavy selling, but cryptocurrencies remained depressed. Traders should prepare for more volatility ahead, as central banks will tighten monetary policy further throughout 2022, recession risks remain high, and stagflationary pressures elevated.
The forecast for the EUR/CHF remains bullish as the Euro continues to recover from its sell-off after being rejected by its horizontal resistance area. Volatility may increase as bulls and bears fight for control after the Kijun-sen, and the Tenkan-sen flatlined, but the ascending Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud supports a second push higher. The CCI recorded a higher low in extreme oversold territory and completed a breakout. Traders should monitor this technical indicator for a move above zero, confirming more upside ahead.
