EURCHF dipping below 0.935 by month-end: a contrarian view?

asked by u/yarabakri · 3d · 3 answers

Been watching $EURCHF action, particularly the resilience around the 0.937-0.938 region. Most seem to be betting on a bounce or consolidation here, given how stretched things feel on a daily. However, I'm leaning towards a decent probability (say, 40-45%) of us seeing a print below 0.935 before July rolls in. The SNB's recent rhetoric, coupled with what seems like persistent, albeit subtle, safe-haven demand for CHF whenever global jitters surface, suggests that this floor might be more fragile than it appears. It wouldn't be the first time a perceived support level gives way with an exasperated sigh.

My reasoning isn't fundamentally about a massive EUR deterioration, but more about continued, grind-it-out CHF strength, perhaps even a bit of an opportunistic shove from larger players once the holiday-thinned liquidity kicks in closer to the end of the month. It’s certainly not a high-conviction forecast, but enough to make me pause before joining the long crowd.

    The SNB's recent actions have certainly introduced an interesting dynamic, but betting on a specific level with that much certainty seems a bit ambitious. I'd want to see more than just "subtle" safe-haven flows to justify a contrarian short here, especially with the general market sentiment.

    That's an interesting contrarian take. While the SNB's recent actions have certainly strengthened the franc, breaking below 0.935 by month-end would require a significant push, especially considering the current support. Are you seeing specific technical setups or order flow that reinforces your view beyond the broader fundamental picture?

    That's an interesting contrarian view. I've been watching that 0.937-0.938 region too, and it definitely feels like a strong support level. What specific SNB rhetoric are you looking at that makes you lean towards a dip below 0.935?
