USDCHF—how low can it go?

In March, 2008, this pair's low was .9637. The low so far today has been .9657. This is near major support and I'd expect a bounce. The question is how high would that bounce go? .9844/79 is the first possibility; parity is the second.

The troubling thing about the weekly chart is that one can make a case for an Elliott Wave zigzag correction (it meets all the rules). I've marked this in red as Alt: A, etc. So what would it mean? Well, it's easy to say lower, much lower, lows ahead. However it's not quite time to throw out the original count as it's also possible to interpret the entire move as a wave two (2) that is going to retrace all of wave one (down to .9637) before resuming wave three. Interesting times.

Here's the weekly chart:

My purpose in writing this blog is to show you how one trader, me, makes trading decisions and survives while trading Forex. One of the biggest problems I had when I first started trading was trying to apply the “rules” to actual trades. Another was the psychology—limiting losses and letting profits run. If you study my blog, you’ll see how I deal with both those issues. So my writings are not trade recommendations but rather educational in purpose. You have to decide on your own approach to trading. Remember that trading is risky.
