Forex: CHF spikes against major rivals

FXstreet.com (California) - CHF is demonstrating an impressive show of force against the US dollar and its European counterparts during the Asian trade. USD/CHF has just broken below the 0.8551 level of support to hit a new session, and all-time low, of 0.8531.

“We are currently trading below the previous record low at .8550 and it would take a very brave person indeed to start buying this pair,” comments Sean Lee, Editor at ForexLive. “We contrarians may have to wait a long while for this CHF bubble to burst.”

At the time of writing, USD/CHF is quoted at 0.8545, 115 pips below its Asian open. EUR/CHF currently trades 70 pips below its 1.2239 open, while GBP/CHF has broken below 1.4108 support, and now trades in the 1.4050 zone, 140 pips below its starting price.
