This can be seen if you combine two charts ― EUR/USD and USD/CHF. By combining these two charts in the same price chart, you will get an approximate EUR/CHF chart.

The U.S. dollar influences both currencies. For this reason, it is necessary to take into account major U.S. economic indicators to correctly predict a future behaviour of this financial instrument. These indicators include the discount rate, GDP, unemployment, new vacancies and many others. It is worth noting that the discussed currencies could respond to U.S. economic changes with different speed. Therefore, the EUR/CHF pair may be a specific indicator of changes in these currencies.

The EUR/CHF chart tends to remain unchanged for a long time. That is why this financial instrument is not so popular with traders, who cannot earn enough on such a market.

At the same time, the trader must first learn the spread size for this currency pair and the margin size for the deal otherwise the deal can be very expensive.
