AUD/CHF Price Analysis: Bears stepping in for a breakout towards 0.6750
- AUD/CHF has formed a topping pattern on the hourly chart.
- The daily chart is in confluence with the reversion pattern.
AUD/CHF bears have stepped in following a rally that started on Friday, Nov.12. However, the Australian dollar has faced some fundamental headwinds in the last 24-hours or so which leaves it vulnerable to the downside.
Moreover, the Swiss franc is regarded as a perfect hedge against stagflation and the recent growth concerns in the eurozone could also give it an edge. This makes for a compelling case for a technical breakout in AUD/CHF to the downside and a meaningful correction that opens risk to towards the mid point of the 0.67 area.

The W-formation is a reversion pattern that would be expected to draw in the price towards at least a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the bullish impulse of the W. A break there opens prospects of a test all the way back to the neckline of the W-formation near 0.6750.
