EUR/CHF Mid-Day OutlookEUR/CHF spikes higher to 1.2213 today on rumor that SNB could raise the floor from 1.2 to 1.22, or even 1.25 tomorrow. The break of 1.2190 resistance argue that rise from 1.0061 might be resuming. But we'd prefer to see sustained trading above 1.22 level to confirm. In that case, EUR/CHF should head towards 1.2399 support turned resistance. Meanwhile, if SNB disappoints tomorrow, EUR/CHF could dropped back to prior range but again, SNB has made it clear about their intention to keep a floor at 1.2 and any decline attempt should be contained by this level.Read more... |

It would be anticlimactic if nothing happens at the meeting. As unveiled in the August FOMC minutes, the range of tools discussed among members included reinforcing forward guidance about the likely path of monetary policy, additional asset purchases, increasing the average maturity of securities holdings, reducing the interest rate paid on excess reserve balances. Yet, no preference was indicated.Read more... |

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Hold long entered at 0.8800Despite intra-day marginal fall to 0.8790, as the greenback found renewed buying interest there and has rebounded in line with our expectation, retaining our bullishness for test of indicated resistance at 0.8880/85, however, a sustained break above there is needed to add credence to our view that correction from recent high of 0.8927 has ended at 0.8647 last week and bring resumption of early upmove for a retest of 0.8927Read more... Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Hold short entered at 1.3700As the single currency has risen again after brief pullback, suggesting caution on our short position entered at 1.3700 and previous support at 1.3753 needs to hold to retain bearishness for another retreat later, break of the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.3665) would suggest top is possibly formed and bring another fall to yesterday’s low at 1.3586.
