EUR/CHF – the narrower the range the sharper the breakout

FXStreet (Moscow) - Currently, EUR/CHF is trading at 1.2183, up 0.04% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.2186 and low at 1.2175.

EUR/CHF is in peace and harmony

The pair has shown a long streak of range-bound trading from the middle of March, and the limits are constantly narrowing leaving the pair only 20 pips for the move during the recent days. Since the single currency is under pressure of ultra easy monetary stance of the ECB, and the Swissy prefers to stay in comfort zone of the SNB above 1.20 area, it looks like nothing can break such peace and harmony. Nothing except for the SNB and planned meeting, especially if the regulator makes the decision to ease as well. In this case the pair may get additional stimulus to move higher with initial target at 1.22 area.
