There seems to be some support of EUR/CHF around the 1.22 handle. Over the past few days I've been buying around 1.2205 and selling at 1.2240, for an easy 35 pips profit. This scenario has played out 4 times over the past week. Using 30 min charts for entries. Plus, I think the SNB 1.25 peg rumor will prevent this pair from dropping towards 1.20.

Good call Ashraf yesterday - after getting as high as 1.2341 it subsequently corrected - I took profit at 1.22648 having been in from 1.20694. Now sitting tight awaiting the next opportunity....away from EUR/CHF....I would love to get back into Gold however seems just too volatile right now....

Anyway, Ashraf.
It is now my time to cut out all this currency things. It only costed me worse and worse.
I acted on your advice, it is my fault. Not yours.
But it is me that was stupid to listen to you.
Good bye.

EURCHF nearing 200 dma for 1st time since April. but last time it CLOSED above it was in Oct 2009. so it remains a big barrier.

@Gunjack,

in Switzerland the job of the SNB is very appreciated but not considered sufficient.
So I think they will continue to devaluate as advertised and everyone here support them.

Some are waiting a big movement from snb on gold.

I picked up a small position on EUR/CHF around 1.22. If EUR/USD continues to drop, I think it may force SNB to increase the peg to 1.25.

@djellal whats the mood like in Suisse? You think the SNB will see their promise thru of devaluing the CHF?

Ernst Baltensperger, an adviser to the Swiss central bank, said that he considers it possible that policy makers will soon increase the franc ceiling versus the euro to 1.25, Tages-Anzeiger reported, citing an interview.

I dont know any expert who doesnt consider the franc still overvalued at 1.20 based on fundamental factors, Baltensperger told the newspaper in the interview published today. As long as one defines the lower limit at 1.20, the risk for the central bank is comparatively limited but all fundamental data are pointing toward a range of between 1.30 and 1.40.

He also said that while the currency ceiling poses a high risk, it would have been more risky not to do anything. The Swiss National Bank is able to defend its cap for as long as it wants, he said.
