The current USDCHF formation suggests that the bullish intervening wave x of a cycle degree has completed. Then the market began to move in a downward direction within the cycle actionary wave z.
Most likely, wave z will be simple in shape and will have an Ⓐ-Ⓑ-Ⓒ zigzag structure. The impulse wave Ⓐ has already fully completed and the construction of the ascending primary correction Ⓑ has begun.
It is assumed that the intermediate sub-waves (A)-(B)-(C) will complete the zigzag correction Ⓑ near 0.935. At that level, wave Ⓑ will be at 76.4% of impulse Ⓐ.
In the future, after the correction of prices in the wave Ⓑ, the bulls could fall in the impulse Ⓒ below 0.892.

Let’s consider an alternative scenario, in which the formation of the primary correction Ⓑ has ended.
It is possible that it is an intermediate double (W)-(X)-(Y) zigzag, which can end near 0.926. At that level, wave Ⓑ will be at 61.8% of impulse wave Ⓐ.
If confirmed, the pair could devalue in wave Ⓒ to the 0.872 area.
At that level, primary impulse waves Ⓐ and Ⓒ will tend to be equal.
