EUR/CHF is grinding higher

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/CHF returned to the pivotal area of 1.2150 after a failed attempt to settle high on Thursday

Little strokes fell great oaks

EUR/CHF expanded its intraday range to 13 pips on Thursday - something unheard of for this phlegmatic cross. Little strokes fell great oaks and little EUR/CHF upside steps might set it free from narrowing triangle pattern. We need to see a weekly close above 1.2150 to support the idea of EUR/CHF bottoming out at 1.2130. Later during the day inverses’ attention will be attracted by German IFO numbers, which is expected to come out slightly lower in July. Though positive surprise following yesterday’s optimistic PMI numbers might support EUR across the board.
