Hi Ashraf,

Do you expect EUR/CHF (and GBP/CHF) to fall along with USD /CHF? And do you think the SNB is finished with interventions?

Thnaks

Thanks a lot, it still does appear that traders see 1.5000 as the line in the sand - thanks

Hey Ashraf,

I'm feeling a little dubious about this SNB intervention in EUR/CHF - I could have sworn they maintained their stance on not wanting CHF strength - especially against the EUR. Any thought? Thanks for all.

chloethebull - yeah - I was hoping for it to rebound back to 1.4500 for a new short entry as well. Now that the rug has been pulled out from underneath it...good question. Maybe 144.50 will be a good short entry, we'll see what Europe does. No data coming out on EUR/USD until unemployment at 8:30am. I wouldn't be shocked if part-time holiday employment keeps the number inflated, allowing for more USD strength. BTW - if you're not already - follow Ahsraf on Twitter, that's where I got the short-term target.

I've now got my eye back on EUR/CHF - SNB, will probably intervene AGAIN (4th or 5th time it would be) if it drops below 1.5050, maybe more towards 1.5000 though --- I think that's a great trade for a large number of lots with very little risk. It may take some time to get the pips you want, and it's too bad the yield differential isn't wider, but it seems very, very safe. Good trading!

Ashraf -

Much thanks - EUR/USD target HIT in Asia as you tweeted!! That couldn't have been easier! Some are saying that this last FOMC statement will determine how USD trades until the end of the year - I presume you concur? Is it safe to say you are sticking with 1.4280 is EUR/USD? Thanks a bunch!

Hi Ashraf,

Thanks for the tweets and commentary - I was wondering your thoughts on USD/JPY. Do you see much (or any) upside beyond 90.00? Thanks a lot.

Ashraf,

No, fortunately I didn't - I'll wait and see what happens with tomorrow's data - oh right, and then there's Wednesday's FOMC statement. Thanks
