The most effective way to capitalize on currencies pairs that are trapped in tight ranges is through the use of hedging. The GBPCHF is our primary target for hedging in the week ahead, with clear range-bound trade and concrete support and resistance levels. To hedge, go both long and short at the market if price stays within the above Hedging Zone. Take profits at R1 for longs and at S1 for shorts, covering losses above R2 or below S2.
