EUR/CHF approaches 0.9900

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The Swiss franc is now shedding further ground vs. the euro, helping EUR/CHF to test the 0.9900 neighbourhood.

EUR/CHF keeps the range

The cross keeps searching for some normalization in the price action following last week’s decision by the SNB to abandon the 1.20 peg, taking the weekly range between the low-1.0200s and the 0.9770 region. Despite the strong downside pressure striking the single currency post-ECB, the cross is keeping the composure and is now back around 0.9900 after falling to the 0.9770 area.

Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, suggested, “While capped 1.0670 (61.8% retracement) a negative bias will persist for a retest of the overnight low at .9715 charted 15th January. Below here support lies .9307/40”.

EUR/CHF significant levels

As of writing the cross is losing 0.21% at 0.9898 with the next support at 0.9751 (low Jan.16) followed by 0.9700 and 0.9600 (psychological levels). On the upside, a surpass of 1.0000 (psychological mark) would open the door to 1.0030 (high Jan.22) and finally 1.0136 (high Jan.21).

ECB QE critics - Rabobank

Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist at Rabobank explained that many developed world FX rates are almost unrecognisable from the levels that existed at the start of the year and the ECB can take a lot of the credit for the shake up in the market.
