    The Swiss National Bank (SNB) will continue to enforce the minimum exchange rate of CHF 1.20 per euro with the utmost determination.

my guess is that as long as we don't see massive selling in usdchf, eurchf will stay in the 1.2080-1.2120 area, regardless of eurusd

What? EURUSD + USDCHF = EURCHF
So if EURUSD falls and USDCHF doesn't move then EURCHF should go south. Same thing on the up side.

you will barely see usdchf not move if eurusd moves
there is no money to be made to the downside with eurchf
they are doing it with other crosses like euraud where sometimes audusd is within a few pips range and eurusd/euraud are having party

i agree - they are manipulating arbitrage doing their quant math - GBP seem to be involved too. if GBPCHF strong than lift in EURGBP may lift EURCHF...

...but of course! If you were printing CHF would you choose Euro? From the SNB viewpoint you would rather hold USD, GBP or AUD for your francs (maybe JPY), just in case things get really bad with Spain and Italy.....

For me, eurchf doesn't play a big role for the big money anymore
and that's because of the floor
it's either chf being bought or sold...and if it's bought/sold heavily, eurchf will go in that direction too, no matter what eurusd is doing

wanna play why dont they say eurochf turned to be like usdrub controlled by the CB, slow motion and determined price range
move it down to 1.2020 and play the game for years between 1.2020 and 1.2050 we know that and start scalping few pips per position
like that dont need Snb intervention happy couple pips/order counts large on the long run

Every time this thing touches 1.2030/40 buy it with "utmost determination". Rinse repeat. Someday it might even just break away on its own merit and you'll already be positioned.

Even when Greece finally gets surgically removed from the EU the floor should hold just fine. That alone wouldn't be enough to abandon the floor, and the SNB undoubtably has a nearly limitless quantity of orders already registered. It wouldn't take them long to act in any case.

not so easy:
- you buy at .2030
- you are waiting 2-3 months
- price is moving to .2130
- you close
- price is spiking few hundreds pips above
