USDCHF – Our Speculative Sentiment Index shows that retail trading crowds have turned net-long the US Dollar (ticker: USDOLLAR) against the Swiss Franc once again. Yet the USDCHF remains stuck in a frustratingly narrow range, and only a break below SFr 0.9000 would signal that fresh lows are entirely likely.
As it stands most are watching for clues that the Swiss National Bank will intervene in the Euro/Swiss Franc, and the USDCHF is likely to respond in kind.
This is hardly fertile ground for speculators, and we’ll stick to the sidelines while Swiss Franc traders remain as skittish as ever.
