Technically, strong buyers came into the market just ahead of a swing bottom at 1.1240. Fundamentally, there is speculation building that the Swiss National Bank is poised to take aggressive action to devalue the currency as it battles a deflationary threat. A couple of weeks ago this was only a threat but since then the SNB has been awfully quiet which could indicate they are poised to strike.
Look for a trade through 1.1432 to confirm the reversal bottom and signal the start of a rally to at least 1.1506 to 1.1561. Once the market can regain this zone then it will have room to the upside.
