FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - USDCHF has spiked off its daily low to post a daily high during the ECB Press Conference.

The pair initially posted a low at 0.9255 following the ECB Policy Statement which slashed growth forecasts into 2013 and generally cast a dim light on economic prospects looking forward. However, during the subsequent Press Conference questioning over the prospect of a rate cut saw Draghi concede that there had been widespread discussion but that the decision taken had been unanimous. Since USDCHF rallied to post a high where it is currently trading at 0.9295, just above classic R1 resistance at 0.9293.
