The positive correlation from USD/CAD informs CAD/CHF price runs 50% of USD/CAD. But correct to alignment is CAD/CHF should contain a positive correlation to CAD/JPY and deeply negative to USD/CAD. The CAD universe however is vastly different to its counterparts.
AUD/CHF, NZD/CHF, GBP/CHF and EUR/CHF are bottom pairs with a lower exchange rate price in relation to AUD/USD, NZD/CHF, GBP/USD and EUR/USD.

A non USD pair such as EUR/USD doesn't have ability to cross below Other Pair/CHF. Insatead the price adjusts up or down in relation to non USD pairs.
Overall, USD/CHF and CHF cross pairs as Other Pair /CHF are deeply oversold short, medium and long term. CAD/CHF and AUD/CHF contain the best long term trades for longs.
