i agree, though you would expect more buyers. I think some of the big hedge funds got their asses kicked last time and aren't so sure now.

Hi Guy's,
AnyBody trading this Pair?

Yes. Looking at the candle bars, it hit resistance twice. I believe everyone is about to sell. It looks to be a strong downtrend.

Why some traders do not realize that USD has almost no issues to Swiss economy. They are in the mid of Europe, surrounded by a single currency, and almost all of their exports target European markets (swiss watches and cheese are not everything that they have to offer.) Even if you are a tourist from States, when using local ATM, most likely bank will first exchange currency from USD to EUR and then from EUR to Frank - standard procedure.

Think of Mexico or Panama - if they ever worried about need to do fx intervention, how much they would focus on stability of EUR? Not much, and Mexico already exports large % of goods to Europe in comparison to Swiss to US.

Look at the chart - EURCHF is flat because the big money is uncertain what to do. USDCHF in comparison can move easily by hundred pips a day in any direction.

EDIT: you are quite right.

I agree that the CHF was extemely overvalued while the E/U was trading at 1.40.

I also agree that the CHF is overvalued if the E/U is trading at 1.27.

When the E/U hits parity... probably just about right.

As for what I believe ... I believe that the SNB will probably hold the ceiling as long as inflation remains low. They may raise it, but I doubt they will do that until the E/Us downtrend does a clear reversal.

On the contrary - tonight is the perfect time to intervention. Liquidity is negligible so it would be very easy for SNB to push eurchf very high. I would be very suprised if it won't happen tonight because it would mean they are waiting to the last moment - maybe even to sub 1.2020 rates. I don't see any reasonable reason to wait for such a rates but maybe SNB does...
Bet you're pretty surprised ;-)

The trading version of Waiting for Goddot is called The Crowded House, to many assuming things that will -or won´t- eventualy happen but with little sense of timing... and this mkt will arrive on time... not the timing traders are expecting here.
