GBP/CHF Weekly Pivot

Recommended Posts

This is something I did "live" for about a year, then for what ever reason it stop working. That happens sometimes. A bread and butter method just stops producing. I have not even looked at this for over a year, last week while eyeballing some charts, I stopped and spent a little time on GBP/CHF and it occurred to me it might be worth looking into, dusting off, and putting it back in my toolbag.

It's not a System or even a Method. I guess you would call it a trick or a gimmick. I am going to trade it for the next 4 weeks or so on demo, see what the results are.

 

The way it was first told to me, it is traded a lot more aggressively than I trade it.

Here's how it was first described to me:

On Sunday night, EST, wait for the previous weeks pivot to print. It varies platform to platform but is usually about 7 PM.

IF price is 75 or MORE pips away from the Weekly Pivot, you have a setup. If not, you can wait. If you enter a position later in the day, or later in the week it is ok as long as price HAS NOT hit the Weekly Pivot. I would not enter the trade later than 5 PM Wednesday of that week.

Assuming we are good to go ( more than 75 pips away and pivot has not yet been hit ),

place an Entry Order 50 pips from the pivot, towards the pivot. TP is 40 pips. So, if the weekly Pivot is at 14700, and price is at 14625, place an Entry order at 14650 with TP at 14690, 40 pips. SL, for me is 60 pips. The reason I am good with the poor R/R is because this gimmick is based on the very high probability that price will hit the weekly pivot.

I will be posting the setup on Sunday eve, with a chart, assuming we have met the requirements. One position, Entry Order. Most of the people I know that used this had 9 positions, stacked in the direction of the pivot. You can make a crapload of money, and you can lose a crapload of money. If you folow along with this you will see that although watching PA on the GBP/CHF can be as exciting as watching paint dry, when it does move, it does so in no uncertain terms.

Sometime around 03:45 EST, The TP was hit. +40 Pips.So that's it. as far as this gimmick goes trading is over for the week. This little Trick is called "The Monday Accelerator .

It was shown to me by my friend Mike K. It ok to distribute, I just don't know if he wants to take credit for it.

 

We will do it again next Sunday. After everyone has a grasp of what we are doing here, I will go into some variations for the really greedy people. Any questions?

 

Remember, this is mt thread I don't want to see anyone attacking anyone else.

We have the Weekly Pivot at 14637. Price is currently at 14564, just more than 75 pips away. I I have a Buy entry order at 14587 ( 50 pips from the pivot ). TP is at 14727, SL 14527

Now we wait.

 

We shall assume the target you wrote is a typo?

Yes. The TP will always be the pivot less 10 pips. Thanks for the catch.

The Weekly Pivot has printed at 14612. Price is currently at 14634, less than 75 pips away so no entry for now. If price continues to move away from thepivot we will place an entry order 50 pips away, when, price is at least 75 pips away from the pivot.

 

More to follow.

The Weekly Pivot has been hit before we had room to place our entry. Too bad. It's a nice way to start the week with some pips in your pockets. We will of course tray again next week. BTW the Weekly Pivot has been hit 31 times for the las 31 weeks.

We have followed this for 3 weeks in a row now. Because of the nature of the setup ( weekly ), We have had 2 successful trades and 1 no entry. It is not a fast paced thread and may not generate a lot of excitement. I don't even know if anyone is reading it.

 

Like I said in the first post it's not a system. I am just trying to bring to light the fairly high probability that GBP/CHF makes a move towards it's weekly pivot, in a consistent manner that can be exploited.

 

If anyone would like to see it again this coming Sun/Mon let me know, otherwise no sense beating a dead horse and I'll think of something to move on too.

If anyone has noticed a different way, or variation we can try on this, let's try it.

I'm reading it when you are posting....

 

Just a thought. GBP/CHF is fairly wild cross that gets good sized daily ranges usually. GBP, EUR, CHF are probably your most correlated highly liquid currencies. Since the Swiss pegged to EUR a year ago, it has become a lot more like a more volatile version of EUR/GBP. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this method you have outlined has excelled since this fundamental change in Swiss policy.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Hi MidKnight,

 

Thanks for reading, you may be the only one ha ha :)

 

This was developed about 5 years ago. Like I said in the beginning I haven't traded it in about a year. I still don't know what to call it, The person who brought it to our trading group's attention was Micheal K. He called it "The Monday Accelerator . According to him the G/C had the highest probability of hitting the weekly pivot ( at that time).

Maybe next week I'll start a new thread called "The Monday Accelerator" and try it on a few different pairs. As time goes on we can drop pairs that don't seem to be producing, add new ones etc. Even just gaining small insights into pair behavior makes it worth the effort in my opinion. I know numbers are numbers and charts are charts, but it does seem like some pairs have their own flavor. GBP/JPY is called the Orient Express by some, and USD/CAD the Loonie.

I am going to pick up this thread this coming weekend. With the GBP/CHF, and as Midnight suggested some other pairs. The thread will have a new name, " The Monday Accelerator "

So, if anyone has some pairs they would like to see tried, post them here and we will see how they fly.

We don't want to make too big, unwieldy, hard to follow. And we will always include the GBP/CHF, the pair the research was done on and use it as a baseline.

So if anyone has some suggestions, some pairs they would like to see done, suggest them here,

    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
