I LIKE THIS Q&A:
Much is done studying correlation, relationships of things like the
USDCHF and the EURUSD and there effect on the EURCHF, and in even
intramarket relationships (i.e., Stocks and the dollar, commodities and
the dollar, one bond vs another bond, etc.).
You are right that USDCHF went up, EURUSD went down… TODAY. The
USDCHF impact was greater which caused the EURCHF to move higher. That
is math as you can be sure there are arbitrage traders who will take the
spread out “if the pieces get out of whack”. Today, one went higher,
the other went lower and overall, the dollar went higher against both in
that window after the headline came out.
Having said that, the EURCHF can go higher by having the USDCHF move
higher, the EURUSD staying unchanged or even going higher at a slower
pace.
Someone asked me the other day “What happened when the EURCHF moved 1000 pips from 1.1000 to 1.2000 three years ago?”
So I looked it up, and found that the USDCHF moved up by around 750-800 pips, and the EURUSD moved lower by 100 pips.... PLEASE READ MORE AT SOURCE: forexlive.com
