Analysis and Recommendations:

The EUR/CHF is trading at 1.2011 just up a pip or two from yesterday. This pair continues to trade in their own environment, with little news to support the Swissie and huge negativity towards the euro, the pair should be falling but the SNB floor keeps the pair locked in battle.
