Post-NFP rebound stalled, drifting sideways · RSI 44 · price 0.82885

Lower highs since 0.8298, tight late-NY range 0.8282–0.8290.

The 29K NFP miss sent price to 0.8227, undercutting the London low at 0.8266 before reversing. The rebound stalled at the 0.8298 post-NFP high, well below the 0.8327 Asian peak. Late NY has compressed between the NY low at 0.8282 and the range top at 0.8290 into the Friday close, with price sitting on EMA20 and RSI(14) near 44.

Support: 0.8282, 0.8271, 0.8266

Resistance: 0.8290, 0.8298

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8290 range top reopens the 0.8298 post-NFP high
  • Break of the 0.8282 NY low exposes the fib 38.2 at 0.8271 and the London low at 0.8266
  • Weekend gap risk at the open; Mon ISM Services (14:00 UTC, f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read

Down on the day, post-NFP recovery stalling · RSI 49 · price 0.8286

Lower highs off 0.8298 NY high, late-NY compression 0.8282–0.8289.

The 29K NFP miss and the franc's safe-haven bid sent the pair through the London low to the 0.8227 nfp low, then it recovered fully to the 0.8298 ny high. Since then, lower highs have compressed price into a thin late-NY band between the 0.8282 late low and the 0.8289 lower high into the weekly close, with RSI(14) flat near 49, price just under EMA20/EMA50 and ATR around 5 pips.

Support: 0.8282, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8289, 0.8298, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8289 lower high and lower-highs trendline breaks the compression; 0.8298 ny high and 0.8300 sit above
  • Failure to hold the 0.8282 late low exposes the 0.8267 post-nfp hl, which is the 38.2–50% zone of the post-NFP fib
  • 0.8327 asian high remains the day's upper bound; only a reclaim of 0.8300 brings it back into view
  • Weekend gap risk on the open; ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) is the next catalyst for Fed-hike repricing

20:16 UTC

Intraday down, post-NFP rebound fading · RSI 42 · price 0.82859

Lower highs off 0.82978, late low 0.82823 holding.

The NFP miss swept the London lows down to the nfp low at 0.82271 before CHF demand faded and price rebounded to a post-NFP high at 0.82978. Since 16:30 UTC late NY has printed lower highs, the latest at 0.82893, with the 19:15 UTC late low at 0.82823 holding. Ranges are compressing into the weekly close, with RSI(14) near 42 and ATR(14) about 6 pips.

Support: 0.82823, 0.82674, 0.82271

Resistance: 0.82893, 0.82978, 0.8300

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 0.82893 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline and puts the 0.82978 post-NFP high and 0.8300 round number back in view
  • Failure to hold the 0.82823 late low exposes the 0.82674 higher low near the 38.2% retracement of the NFP rebound
  • A move back through the 0.82271 nfp low would negate the post-NFP rebound
  • Weekend gap risk into Monday's US ISM Services at 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read

20:02 UTC

Intraday downtrend, post-NFP rebound fading · RSI 38 · price 0.82836

Lower highs and lower lows since the 16:30 UTC rebound high.

The NFP miss spiked USDCHF to 0.8227 at 12:30 UTC. The NFP rebound then ran into rejection at the 0.8298 rebound high, just under the broken Asian low near 0.8290 and 0.8300. Late NY has printed a lower high at 0.8289 and a swing low at 0.8282 near the 23.6% retrace, with RSI(14) around 38 and price under both EMAs.

Support: 0.82823, 0.82674, 0.82271

Resistance: 0.82893, 0.82978

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 0.8282 swing low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.8267 higher low
  • A break of the 0.8267 higher low exposes the 0.8227 NFP low
  • A close above the 0.8289 lower high breaks the lower-highs line and reopens the 0.8298 rebound high
  • Thin late-Friday liquidity; Monday's ISM Services at 14:00 UTC is the next scheduled risk to this read

19:46 UTC

Post-NFP rebound stalling, drifting lower · RSI 43 · price 0.82856

Lower highs off 0.8298 NY high, holding above 0.8282.

The NFP miss drove a spike low to 0.8227, which was fully reclaimed into a 0.8298 NY high. Price has since printed lower highs into the end of NY hours, sitting just above the 0.8282 swing low and below EMA20. RSI(14) is near 43 and ATR has compressed to about 7 pips.

Support: 0.82823, 0.82674

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8298 ny high and 0.8300 round number breaks the lower-high trendline
  • Failure to hold the 0.8282 swing low exposes the 0.8267 post-nfp low and the 38.2% fib near 0.8271
  • Thin liquidity into the Friday close; Monday's ISM Services (f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read

19:31 UTC

Intraday downtrend, post-NFP rebound fading · RSI 43 · price 0.82834

Lower highs below 0.8298 in late NY, holding above 0.8274 higher low.

USD/CHF slid from the 0.8327 Asia high as the franc drew safe-haven demand, then spiked to the 0.8227 NFP low on the payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) before rebounding to the 0.8298 post-NFP high. Late NY has since printed lower highs under the 0.8290 pivot. Price is drifting toward the 23.6% fib near 0.8281, RSI(14) at 43.

Support: 0.8274, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8290, 0.8298, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8274 higher low exposes the 0.8267 swing low and the 38.2% fib near 0.8271
  • Reclaim of the 0.8290 pivot and the lower-highs line reopens the 0.8298 post-NFP high
  • A break of the 0.8227 NFP low would extend the day's downtrend structure

Post-NFP rebound stalling, lower highs in late NY · RSI 43 · price 0.82857

Lower highs off 0.8298 ny high, price pinned near 0.8285 late ny low.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USDCHF to a 0.8227 nfp low before a rebound stalled at the 0.8298 ny high, just shy of 0.8300 psych. Since then, late NY has carved lower highs back to the 38.2% fib of the 0.8267–0.8298 leg, with price under EMA20 and sitting on EMA50 just above the 0.8285 late ny low.

Support: 0.82847, 0.82674, 0.82271

Resistance: 0.82978, 0.8300, 0.83267

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8285 late ny low exposes the 61.8% fib near 0.8279 and the 0.8267 post-nfp low
  • Close above the lower-highs line and the 0.8298 ny high reopens 0.8300 psych and the 0.8327 asia high
  • A return under the post-nfp low would put the 0.8227 nfp low back in play
  • Thin after-London-close liquidity into the weekend; Monday's ISM Services print at 14:00 UTC is the next scheduled risk

19:02 UTC

Post-NFP rebound, stalling below session high · RSI 47 · price 0.82884

V-recovery from NFP spike low, now tight consolidation 0.8285–0.8298.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USDCHF through the London low to a 0.8227 nfp low, but the move was fully reclaimed within the hour and buyers held a 0.8267 swing low before lifting price to a 0.8298 session high. That high has capped three tests and price is drifting in a tight 0.8285–0.8298 band into the late NY session, with less than a quarter of the nfp rebound retraced and RSI(14) flat near 47.

Support: 0.82847, 0.82674, 0.82271

Resistance: 0.82978, 0.8300

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8285 pullback low breaks the rebound trendline and opens a deeper retracement of the nfp rebound toward the 0.8267 swing low
  • Close above the 0.8298 session high and 0.8300 round number would extend the post-NFP recovery out of the consolidation
  • Friday NY close thins liquidity; next scheduled risk is ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7)

18:46 UTC

Post-NFP rebound stalling, lower highs into late NY · RSI 47 · price 0.82883

V-rebound from 0.8227 NFP low capped at 0.8298 NY high; tightening 0.8285–0.8298 band.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) at 12:30 UTC spiked the pair to 0.8227, but that low was fully rejected and price recovered to the 0.8298 NY high, roughly the base of the earlier Asian range. Late NY is printing lower highs along a short trendline under that NY high, with the late NY low at 0.8285 holding and price sitting just under EMA20 as the Friday session winds down.

Support: 0.82847, 0.82674

Resistance: 0.82978, 0.8300

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8285 late NY low opens the 23.6% fib area near 0.8281 and the post-NFP HL at 0.8267
  • Break of the lower-highs trendline and the 0.8298 NY high puts the 0.8300 round number in play

Post-NFP rebound stalling, drifting lower · RSI 46 · price 0.82857

Late-NY range 0.8285–0.8298, lower highs since the rebound top.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) drove a spike low to 0.8227. That move swept the earlier 0.8257 lows before the pair recovered to the 0.8298 rebound high. Late in the NY session, after London close, price has printed lower highs down to 0.8292 and is now sitting on the 0.8285 range low, with RSI(14) near 46 and ATR at about 7 pips.

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 0.8285 range low exposes the 0.8274 swing low and the 38.2% fib of the post-NFP rebound at 0.8271
  • A close back above the 0.8292 lower high and the 0.8298 rebound high puts the 0.8300 round number back in play
  • Liquidity thins into the Friday close. Mon Oct 5 ISM Services (f/c 55.7) is the next scheduled USD risk that could reprice this structure

18:16 UTC

Rebound off NFP low, stalling below 0.8300 · RSI 55 · price 0.82902

Higher lows since NFP spike; tight late-NY band 0.8286–0.8298.

The NFP-miss spike (29K vs 90K) to the 0.8227 nfp low was fully reversed in NY hours, a false break below the London low. A higher swing low followed at 0.8267. Price has since stalled late NY in a 0.8286–0.8298 band under the 0.8298 ny high and 0.8300 psych, near the 61.8% of the day-range fib from the 0.8327 asian high.

Resistance: 0.82978, 0.8300, 0.83267

  • M15 close above the 0.8298 ny high and 0.8300 psych reopens the path toward the 0.8327 asian high
  • Loss of the 0.8286 recent low turns the band into a lower high and exposes the 0.8267 swing low
  • A break back under the 0.8227 nfp low negates the false-break read

Rebound from NFP low, stalling · RSI 54 · price 0.82898

Post-NFP higher lows, capped below 0.8300.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K f/c) drove a spike to the 0.8227 NFP low that was rejected within the bar. The rebound has since stalled late in NY, after London close, in a 0.8288–0.8298 band around the fib 61.8 of the drop from the Asia high at 0.8327. The post-NFP high at 0.8298 is capping price just under 0.8300; RSI(14) is near 54 and ATR(14) about 7.6 pips.

17:31 UTC

Post-NFP rebound, stalling under 0.8300 · RSI 61 · price 0.82948

Higher lows since the NFP low, now a tight range under the session high.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USDCHF through the London lows to 0.8227 at 12:30 UTC, and the move was rejected inside the same bar. The post-NFP rally has since built higher lows, including 0.8267, back to pre-London levels at the 0.8298 session high. Late in the NY session, price is compressing between the 0.8288 range low and the session high, just under the 0.8300 round number, with RSI(14) near 61.

Support: 0.8288, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8300, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 0.8300 round number clears the session high and exposes the Asian high at 0.8327
  • Losing the 0.8288 range low reopens the 0.8267 higher low; a break there retraces the post-NFP rally toward the nfp low at 0.8227

17:17 UTC

Post-NFP rebound, momentum flattening · RSI 56 · price 0.82891

V-reversal from NFP low, capped at range top 0.8298.

The NFP miss drove a spike to the 0.8227 nfp low that was fully reversed despite the soft print. NY then set a higher low at 0.8267 and stalled at the 0.8298 range top, which also capped the Asia session and early London. Late-NY price is pressing ema20 near 0.8287 with RSI(14) near 56, and the NFP rebound is only about 12% retraced.

Support: 0.8287, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.8300 clears the range top and the 0.8290/0.8300 zone flagged in the CHF digest, with the 0.8327 asia high next
  • Loss of ema20 near 0.8287 puts the 0.8267 higher low back in focus, close to the 38.2% retrace of the NFP rebound
  • A break back below the 0.8227 nfp low would void the false-break read
  • Thin late-Friday liquidity; ISM Services (Mon 14:00 UTC) is the next high-impact USD risk

17:03 UTC

Post-NFP recovery, stalling below 0.8298 · RSI 58 · price 0.82928

Higher lows off NFP spike low, capped at NY session high.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) swept the pair to a 0.8227 nfp low in the first hour of NY, but the move was reclaimed within the bar. A higher-low chain off the 0.8267 london low has since lifted price back inside the Asian range, where three late-NY retests of the 0.8298 ny high have stalled. RSI(14) sits near 58 and ATR is about 9.5 pips as ranges compress into the Friday close.

Support: 0.8289, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8298 ny high clears 0.8300 and opens the path toward the 0.8327 asia high
  • Failure to hold the 0.8289 asian low puts the post-NFP higher-low chain at risk, with 0.8267 london low and the nfp swing 38.2% just below
  • Thin late-Friday liquidity; Monday's ISM Services (14:00 UTC, f/c 55.7) could reset this read

Intraday recovery, higher lows since NFP · RSI 63 · price 0.82963

V-recovery off NFP low, HH/HL chain into 0.8300.

The 29K NFP miss spiked the pair to the 0.8227 nfp low, a false break that fully reversed. The shallow USD selloff gave way to a higher-low chain from the 0.8267 pullback low and a rising trendline. After London close, price is retesting the 0.8300 round number, the area where Asia lows gave way at the London open. RSI(14) is near 63 and not stretched.

Support: 0.8288, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8300, 0.8313, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8300 round number opens the asia pivot at 0.8313 and the 0.8327 asia high
  • Loss of the 0.8288 higher low breaks the rising trendline. Below the 0.8267 pullback low, the nfp low at 0.8227 comes back into view
  • A deeper slip into the nfp rebound fib zone near 0.8261 would undercut the recovery read
  • Thin late-Friday NY liquidity. Next scheduled catalyst is ISM Services on Mon Oct 5 at 14:00 GMT

The 29K NFP miss swept USDCHF to an nfp low of 0.8227 at 12:30 UTC, but the spike was rejected within the bar. NY session has since printed a higher low at 0.8267, cleared the 0.8288 prior high and the 61.8% retrace of the day's drop, and is now testing the 0.8299 asia range base just under the 0.8300 round number, with RSI(14) at 64 and not stretched.

Support: 0.8288, 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8299, 0.8300, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8300 round number reclaims the asia range and opens the path to the 0.8327 asia high
  • A drop back below the 0.8288 prior high exposes the 0.8267 higher low; losing it breaks the post-NFP rising trendline
  • Thin late-Friday NY liquidity and no scheduled US or CHF releases before Monday's ISM Services (f/c 55.7) keep the move headline-driven

16:16 UTC

The 29K NFP miss spiked USD/CHF to an nfp low of 0.8227 at 12:30 GMT, but the flush was rejected and NY built a higher low at 0.8267 above the pre-nfp low before climbing to a 0.8297 ny high. Price is now back inside the 0.8290–0.8299 band, at the old Asian range floor and capped by the london high, RSI(14) ~63 and above both EMAs. On the fib of the Asian high-to-NFP-low drop, the rebound has retraced roughly 70%.

Support: 0.82674, 0.82606, 0.82271

Resistance: 0.82972, 0.8299, 0.83267

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8299 london high and 0.8300 puts price back inside the Asian range, with the 0.8327 asian high the next reference
  • Rejection at the 0.8297 ny high followed by a break of the 0.8267 higher low unwinds the post-NFP recovery and exposes the 0.8261 pre-nfp low
  • Late Friday NY session: thinning liquidity into the weekly close can exaggerate moves around 0.8300
  • Monday ISM Services (14:00 GMT, f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read via Fed October-hike odds

16:02 UTC

Post-NFP rebound, momentum flattening · RSI 66 · price 0.82922

Higher lows from 0.8227 NFP low, pressing London high.

The weak NFP print swept USDCHF to 0.8227 before a roughly 70-pip V-shaped recovery into the 0.8297 rebound high, against the haven-CHF backdrop in the digest. Price is stalling just under the 0.8299 London high and the 0.8300 round number after London close. RSI(14) is near 66 and flattening, with the minor low at 0.8286 the first pullback marker.

Support: 0.8286, 0.8267, 0.8227

  • Loss of the 0.8267 swing low, near the 38.2% post-NFP fib, breaks the post-release higher-low chain
  • A return toward the 0.8227 nfp low would turn the release dip into a lower low
  • Thin Friday late-NY liquidity; ISM Services Mon Oct 5 14:00 UTC is the next scheduled catalyst

Higher lows since NFP low, back inside asian range.

London broke below the 0.8290 Asian low on CHF haven demand, and the 29K NFP miss swept price to the 0.8227 nfp low, which was rejected inside the same bar. NY has since printed a higher low at 0.8267, cleared the 0.8288 prior highs and retraced about 68% of the Asia high-to-NFP low decline, with price now pressing the 0.8300 round number and RSI(14) near 68.

The 29K NFP miss swept the pair to a 0.8227 nfp low, rejected inside the same bar. NY has since built a higher low at 0.8267 and pushed through the 0.8289 prior high. Price is now testing the 0.8295 session high and the 0.8299 london high, the zone where early London broke below the Asian range, with the 0.8327 asian high above. RSI(14) is near 64.

Support: 0.8289, 0.8267, 0.8227

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USD/CHF to the 0.8227 nfp low in the first hour of NY, but that dip was bought hard. A higher swing low at 0.8267 has lifted price back to the 61.8% fib of the Asia high–NFP low drop near 0.8289, with the session high at 0.8293 just under the 0.8299 london high that has capped the range since the London open.

Resistance: 0.8293, 0.8299

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8299 london high reopens the Asian range toward 0.8327

Intraday downtrend paused, NFP spike rejected · RSI 54 · price 0.82854

Range 0.8267–0.8291 after reclaim of NFP spike low.

USD/CHF lost the Asian range low near 0.8290 at 06:00 UTC and slid through London. The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked it to the 0.8227 nfp low, but the dip was fully reclaimed within the hour, and 0.8267 has since held as a higher low. In NY hours price is pinned under the 0.8291 range top, which lines up with the 61.8% retrace of the asian high-nfp low leg, while RSI(14) sits neutral near 54 and price hovers at EMA50.

Support: 0.8267, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8291, 0.8327

What it said to watch

Lower highs since the Asian session; post-NFP range 0.8267–0.8289.

London broke the 0.8290 Asian low and drifted to a 0.8267 london low. The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked the pair to 0.8227, but that wick retraced almost fully to 0.8289, and price now sits mid-range near the 78.6% fib of the NFP move. In mid-NY session price is boxed 0.8267–0.8289, with RSI(14) neutral near 46.

Resistance: 0.8289, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.8289 post-nfp hi puts price back inside the Asian range and brings 0.8327 asian high into view
  • Failure to hold 0.8267 london low, which is also the 61.8% fib of the NFP move, exposes the 0.8227 nfp low

Downtrend, post-NFP rebound fading · RSI 40 · price 0.82686

Lower highs from Asian high; NFP rebound capped at 0.8289.

USDCHF slid from the 0.8327 Asian high through the London low before the 29K NFP miss spiked it to 0.8227. The rebound was rejected at 0.8289, extending the lower-highs chain, and early NY has pulled price back to 0.8269 at the london low, below both EMAs with RSI(14) near 40.

Support: 0.8266, 0.8257, 0.8227

Resistance: 0.8289, 0.8299

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 0.8299 lower high breaks the lower-highs sequence. A hold below the 0.8289 nfp high keeps it intact.
  • Failure to hold the 0.8266 london low exposes the 0.8257 pre-nfp low, which sits near the 50% retrace of the nfp rebound fib.
  • A break of the 0.8227 nfp low would extend the session's lower-low chain.
  • Late-Friday NY liquidity can widen swings. US ISM Services on Mon Oct 5 is the next scheduled data risk.

Lower highs from 0.8327 Asia high; NFP spike low rejected, bounce capped at 61.8%.

USD/CHF printed lower highs from the 0.8327 Asia high through London. The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked it to the 0.8227 NFP low, but that bar closed back above the 0.8257 pre-NFP low, a sharp rejection. The first hour of NY bounce stalled at the 0.8289 post-NFP high, the 61.8% retrace of the Asia high–NFP low drop, and price is now flat near the 50% level and EMA20, with RSI(14) neutral at 48.

Lower highs from Asia high 0.8327; NFP spike low rejected, price back inside London range.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) swept the 0.8266 london low down to the 0.8227 nfp low, but the spike was rejected within the bar. Price has since rebounded about 60 pips and is stalling at the 0.8288 nfp high, near the 61.8% of the Asia high to NFP low drop. Price is back inside the London range, above EMA20 and just under EMA50, with RSI(14) neutral around 55.

Downtrend, post-NFP rebound stalling · RSI 51 · price 0.82807

Lower highs since 0.8348; NFP spike low swept, price back inside London range.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USD/CHF to an NFP low of 0.8227 in the first NY bar, sweeping below the London low and morning low, but demand stepped in and the pair recovered to a post-NFP high of 0.8288, near the 61.8% of the Asian-high-to-NFP-low leg. Price is back inside the 0.8274–0.8292 London range (london low to london high), and lower highs since yesterday's 0.8348 keep the 24h structure in a downtrend. RSI(14) is neutral near 51.

Lower highs from Asia high; NFP flush to 0.8227 rejected, price back inside London range.

USD/CHF broke below the Asian range ahead of London, then held a 0.8266 london low to 0.8292 london high range until the soft NFP (29K vs 90K) spiked it to the 0.8227 nfp low. That flush was rejected fast. Price is back at 0.8280, pressing the falling trendline and the 0.8285 post-NFP high, with RSI(14) neutral near 53.

Downtrend, post-NFP rebound stalling · RSI 45 · price 0.82742

Lower highs from Asian high; NFP spike below London low reclaimed.

Lower highs from the 0.8327 Asian high carried into NY. The across-the-board NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked price to the 0.8227 nfp low before a fast reclaim of the 0.8266 london low. Early NY, the rebound is pausing at the 0.8279 post-NFP high, near the 50% fib of the Asia-to-NFP leg, with RSI(14) neutral at 45 and price just under EMA20.

Lower highs and lower lows since the Asia high; post-NFP rejection wick.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked USDCHF to the 0.8227 nfp low, but the bar closed near 0.8262 and price has since recovered to 0.8275, stalling at ema20 early in NY. The sequence of lower highs from the 0.8327 Asia high to the 0.8292 london high is intact. RSI(14) at 43 sits mid-range after the flush.

London range 0.8274–0.8292 broken lower; NY spike low rejected.

Lower highs from 0.8327 in Asia to the 0.8292 lower high, and the London range floor at 0.8274 gave way into the NY open as CHF haven demand and trimmed Fed-hike odds weighed. The payrolls-timed bar spiked to 0.8227 and closed back near 0.8262. Price is pinned just above the 0.8257 pre-NFP low, with RSI(14) near 32 and not yet oversold.

Lower highs from Asia high, NFP bar breaks pre-NFP low.

Lower highs since the 0.8327 Asia high, with the 0.8266–0.8292 London range giving way into the NY open as CHF haven demand persists. The NFP release bar knifed about 29 pips to 0.8237 through the 0.8257 pre-NFP low. RSI(14) is near 23, oversold, and the bar is closing at its low, so the move shows no rejection yet.

Support: 0.82371, 0.8230

Resistance: 0.82574, 0.82658, 0.8292

What it said to watch

  • Close back above 0.8257 pre-NFP low would mark the NFP break as a false break
  • Reclaim of 0.8266 london low and the 38.2% fib (~0.8271) of the Asia high to NFP low leg would signal the leg is retracing
  • Lower-highs trendline from the Asia high to the 0.8292 london high caps structure while intact
  • Hold below the 0.8237 nfp low opens the 0.8230 round number
  • Factory Orders at 14:00 GMT and the post-NFP repricing of Fed October hike odds (~28%) could extend or reverse this leg

Downtrend, fresh session low pre-NFP · RSI 36 · price 0.82681

Lower highs and lower lows since the Asian high, London range broken lower.

Pair sits about 15 minutes before NFP. Price broke below the Asian range low of 0.8290 early in London, then left a 0.8274–0.8292 range lower in the hour before NFP, printing a session low at 0.8257 as the haven franc bid persisted. The 0.8266 prior low from London now caps the bounce, and the lower-high sequence from the Asian high at 0.8327 is still intact.

Support: 0.82574, 0.8250

Resistance: 0.8266, 0.8292, 0.82989

What it said to watch

  • US NFP at 12:30 GMT (f/c 90K) could materially shift this read; a strong print or AHE ≥0.4% tests the descending trendline
  • M15 close back above the 0.8292 lower high, also the fib 50% of the Asian high-to-low move, invalidates the lower-high chain
  • Failure to hold the 0.8257 session low exposes the 0.8250 round number
  • Holding below the 0.8266 prior low keeps the range break in force; the 0.8299 swing high is the last pivot before 0.8300

0.8266–0.8292 London range broken lower, sweep to 0.8261 ahead of NFP.

The pair has printed lower highs from the 0.8327 Asian peak as softer Fed hike pricing kept USD heavy. London capped at the 0.8299 london high and held a 0.8266–0.8292 range until the 11:45 GMT bar swept the london low to a 0.8261 session low. Price is now hovering just above 0.8266 with RSI(14) near 35 and ATR around 9 pips, ahead of NFP.

Resistance: 0.8292, 0.82989

What it said to watch

  • US NFP at 12:30 GMT (f/c 90K, AHE 0.3%) can materially reset this read; per the digest a hot print or wages beat has more room to reprice USD/CHF than a miss
  • M15 close back above the 0.8292 range top and 0.8299 london high breaks the lower-high sequence along the asia-high leg
  • Acceptance below the 0.8261 session low exposes 0.8255 uob support

Asian range broken lower; post-London range with higher lows against lower highs.

London broke below the Asian range low near 0.8290 as fading Fed hike odds weighed on USD. The pair printed a session low at 0.8266, tested twice by 08:00 GMT. Since then it has compressed between a 0.8274 higher low and a 0.8292 range top, with lower highs capping. RSI(14) sits neutral near 53 ahead of payrolls.

  • US payrolls at 12:30 GMT (~45 min): NFP f/c 90K, AHE 0.3% MoM. The release is likely to resolve the compression and could materially shift this read.
  • A close above the 0.8292 range top and the 0.8299 swing high puts price back inside the Asian range, with the 0.8327 asian high above.
  • Failure to hold the 0.8274 higher low exposes the 0.8266 session low. A break there extends the lower-low sequence.

Lower highs from Asia, now basing above 0.8266 with small higher lows.

Asia faded from the 0.8327 Asian high, and London extended below the Asian low to a 0.8266 session low. Two tests there held, and price has compressed into a 0.8274–0.8292 range, capped near the 38.2% retracement of the drop. The franc's bid tracks the drain in Fed October hike odds, with US payrolls due at 12:30 GMT.

Support: 0.8274, 0.8266

Resistance: 0.8292, 0.8299

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8292 range top, then the 0.8299 london high and the 0.8300 handle, breaks the range read

London broke the Asian low; lower highs inside a 0.8266–0.8299 range.

London broke below the 0.8290 Asian low at the open and printed a 0.8266 session low on softer Fed hike pricing and lower US yields. Since then price has rotated between 0.8266 and the 0.8299 London high, with repeated rejection at the former 0.8290 Asian low, which sits on the 38.2% fib of the drop from the 0.8327 Asian high. Price is sitting on EMA20, with demand at the 0.8274 swing low, RSI(14) near 50 and ATR around 9 pips, consistent with pre-NFP compression.

Asian range broken lower; lower highs since 09:00 GMT above twin lows at 0.8266.

The 0.8290–0.8327 Asian range gave way just before London as the USD unwind extended after October Fed-hike odds slipped to ~28%. A London low formed twice at 0.8266. Since 09:00 GMT the pair has printed lower highs under the falling trendline, holding the 0.8274 micro low, with the old Asian low at 0.8290, also the 38.2% fib of the drop, capping.

Lower highs from Asian high; London range 0.8266–0.8290 below Asian low.

USD/CHF extended its second-day slide as cooler October hike odds weighed on USD. Early London broke the 0.8290 Asian low and printed a 0.8266/0.8266 double bottom at the session low. Price has since compressed between a 0.8274 higher low and the 0.8290 Asian low, sitting near the 23.6% fib of the Asian-high sell-off with RSI(14) neutral at 44.

USD/CHF broke the Asian low at 0.8290 into the London open and printed a session low at 0.8266 twice. Since then it has held a 0.8273–0.8290 band under both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 42, as cooler Fed-hike pricing keeps USD offered. Both 0.8290 rejections sit below the 0.8299 swing high, keeping the lower-highs line intact.

Early European hours broke the Asian low at 0.8290 with a 30-pip flush, and the session low at 0.8266 printed twice. Bounces have since stalled at the London high of 0.8299 and then just under 0.8290, which lines up with the 38.2% retrace of the drop from the 0.8327 Asian high. Price is now boxed 0.8279–0.8290 under a lower-highs line and EMA20, with RSI(14) near 41, while USD softness on faded October hike odds weighs ahead of NFP.

Downtrend, stalling above session low · RSI 42 · price 0.82838

Lower highs since Asia; twin lows at 0.8266.

London broke the Asian low at 0.8290 and twice found demand at the 0.8266 session low. That builds a potential double bottom as the CHF relief bid on faded Fed-hike odds stalls. Rebounds are capped along a lower-highs line from the 0.8299 London high, with the latest bounce rejected at the 38.2% fib of the asia-london drop near the old Asian low. Mid-London, price sits just under ema20 with RSI(14) near 42.

Lower highs from 0.8327; London swept the 0.8266 low, then capped at 0.8290.

USD/CHF extended Thursday's NY-session slide through Asia as Oct Fed-hike odds eased, flushing to 0.8266 at 06:00 GMT. London undercut that session low by half a pip before bouncing to a higher low at 0.8273, but the recovery was rejected at 0.8290, the 38.2% fib of the 0.8327–0.8266 leg. Price sits below EMA20 with RSI(14) near 42.

Support: 0.8273, 0.8266, 0.8255

Resistance: 0.8290, 0.8300, 0.8327

Downtrend, bounce capped by lower highs · RSI 43 · price 0.82838

Asian range broken lower; lower highs from 0.8299, session low 0.8266 holding.

USDCHF broke below the 0.8290–0.8327 Asian range at 06:00 UTC as Fed-hike pricing eased, and London extended the drop to a 0.8266 session low that held on a second test. The rebound stalled at the old asian low near 0.8290, which is also the 38.2% fib of the Asia high-to-low drop, leaving lower highs below EMA20 with RSI(14) near 43.

Lower highs from the 0.8327 Asia high; double low at 0.8266.

USD/CHF extended its slide as October Fed-hike pricing eased, breaking the 0.8290 Asia low into London. A double low at 0.8266 held, and the rebound is now pressing the descending trendline from the 0.8327 Asia high near the 38.2% fib, with RSI(14) at 42 and price below EMA20 and EMA50.

Downtrend, lower highs since the Asian high · RSI 41 · price 0.82808

Asian range broken to the downside; double test of 0.8266 session low, now basing below the Asian low.

Lower highs from the 0.8327 Asian high led to a break of the 0.8290 Asian low just before London, with a run to the 0.8266 session low. A second test of 0.8266 held. The move fits pre-NFP USD position-squaring after the soft PCE trimmed October hike odds; price is now basing below the old Asian low, under the descending trendline, with RSI(14) near 41.

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since the Asia high · RSI 39 · price 0.82794

Asian range broken lower; lower-high sequence intact, session low swept.

USD/CHF broke the 0.8290 Asian low ahead of London open and printed a 0.8266 session low, tracking DXY easing from 102.20 as positions square before NFP. A second probe of the session low early in the London session was bought back, but the lower-high chain from the 0.8327 Asia high through the 0.8299 rebound high and the 0.8284 lower high, capped by the descending trendline, is still intact.

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 34 · price 0.8273

Asian range broken lower, lower-high sequence, pressing session low.

The Asian range (0.8290–0.8327) broke lower at 06:00 UTC with a spike to a 0.8266 session low. The bounce retested the old asian low and stalled at 0.8299, a fresh lower high near the 50% fib. Early in London, price is back near the lows with RSI(14) around 34, in line with the USD-led CHF squeeze as October Fed-hike odds sit near 28%.

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 38 · price 0.82788

Asian range broken lower; lower highs below 0.8300.

USD/CHF broke the Asian low at 0.8290 just before London, spiking to a 0.8266 spike low as the soft-PCE unwind of Fed-hike bets extended. The early-London bounce was rejected at 0.8299, just under 0.8300 psych and the descending trendline from the 0.8327 Asian high, and lower highs since have price pressing the 0.8274 London low.

Downtrend, lower highs and lower lows · RSI 47 · price 0.82914

Pre-London sweep of Asian low, price back inside range.

USDCHF is still carving lower highs after Thursday's NY slide on the ISM miss. A pre-London flush swept the asian low to the 0.8266 sweep low before snapping back to 0.8291, with the rebound high at 0.8299 sitting near the 50% fib. RSI(14) is neutral at ~47 in the first hour of London, ahead of NFP.

Downtrend, lower highs since Asia · RSI 42 · price 0.82884

Pre-London sweep below Asian low, rebound capped at 50-61.8% fib.

Asia rallied to the 0.8327 Asian high, then reversed and broke the 0.8290 Asian low. A pre-London sweep reached the 0.8266 session low before a rebound stalled at 0.8299 (rebound high), inside the 50-61.8% fib zone of the Asian-high leg. At London open price is pinned back around the Asian low and 38.2% retracement, with RSI(14) near 42 and both EMAs overhead, while the CHF bounce reflects fading Fed-hike odds into payrolls.

Lower highs from Asia high; prior low swept and reclaimed.

Asia extended the USD-led CHF bounce with lower highs from the 0.8327 asia high, and a 06:00 UTC flush through the prior low at 0.8292 to the 0.8266 sweep low was reclaimed within three bars. Ahead of London open, price is pressing the descending trendline and the 50% fib of the Asia move, just under the 0.8299 range top, with RSI(14) neutral near 45.

Range break lower from 0.8290–0.8299 Asian base, lower highs intact.

The 06:00 UTC bar broke the 0.8290–0.8299 Asian base, cutting through the asian low and yesterday's 0.8292 NY low to a 0.8266 session low before steadying near 0.8279, just above the 0.8270 round number. The Asian high at 0.8327 has capped a lower-highs trendline, and RSI(14) near 26 reflects the flush ahead of London open as USD stays heavy, with October hike odds near 28% into NFP.

Resistance: 0.82899, 0.8300, 0.83267

Asia session reversed from the 0.8327 Asian high to a 0.8290 session low, slipping marginally under yesterday's 0.8292 NY low as the USD eased into NFP. Price is now compressing in a 0.8290–0.8299 band ahead of London open, capped by a descending line from the Asian high, with RSI(14) near 32.

Lower highs from 0.8327 Asian high; tight 0.8290–0.8299 base.

Asia faded from the 0.8327 Asian high and broke the 0.8311 breakdown shelf, then took out yesterday's 0.8292 NY low to a 0.8290 Asian low as USD eased into NFP. Price is now compressing below EMA20/50 into the London open, capped by the 0.8299 micro high, with RSI(14) near 35.

Lower highs from 0.8330, Asia fade to fresh low, tight coil above.

The Asia fade from the 0.8327 asian high cut through the 0.8304 breakdown level and swept yesterday's 0.8292 NY low to print a 0.8290 session low, extending the lower highs from 0.8330 as eased Fed-hike pricing keeps USD heavy. Price is now coiling between 0.8290 and the 0.8299 coil top late in Asia, with RSI(14) near 34 and ATR at about 5 pips.

Support: 0.8290, 0.8270

Resistance: 0.8299, 0.8304, 0.8327

  • A failure to hold the 0.8290 session low extends the lower-low sequence and puts the 0.8270 UOB support area in view.
  • An M15 close back above the 0.8304 breakdown level neutralises the Asia fade. The 0.8327 asian high and the lower highs trendline sit above that.

Lower highs from 0.8327 Asia high; new session low at 0.8290, minor bounce under 0.8300.

The Asia session sold off from the 0.8327 Asia high to a 0.8290 session low, taking out yesterday's NY low near 0.8292 and the 0.8302 prior low as softer Fed-hike pricing kept CHF bid. Late Asia is basing just under the 0.8300 round number, with the 38.2% retrace of the Asia drop fib sitting at 0.8304, close to the broken prior low.

Support: 0.82899, 0.8270

Downtrend, oversold into late Asia · RSI 25 · price 0.82936

Lower highs; Asia high 0.8327 rejected, prior NY low undercut.

The Asia session failed at the 0.8327 asia high and broke down through 0.8304, briefly undercutting yesterday's NY low (0.8292) to a session low of 0.8290 before stalling, with RSI(14) near 25. The drop runs against the digest's firm-USD backdrop, in line with the stretched pre-NFP positioning it flags. The lower-high trendline from 0.8330 caps the structure.

Support: 0.8290

Resistance: 0.8304, 0.8327

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 0.8290 session low turns the sweep of the prior NY low into a range break lower
  • Recovery above the 0.8304 breakdown level (38.2% fib) would neutralise the Asia leg

Late Asia broke the asian low near 0.8304 and slipped under the 0.8292 ny low left by the post-ISM drop. Price is now holding just above a 0.8290 session low. Lower highs from 0.8372 down to the 0.8327 asian high define the descending trendline, with RSI(14) near 28 and ATR around 5 pips into NFP.

Lower highs from 0.8327 Asian high; new low under yesterday's low.

Late Asia session: the early push to the 0.8327 Asian high failed. Price then unwound the whole Asian range to a 0.8290 asian low, just under yesterday's 0.8292 prior low set in the sell-off after the US ISM manufacturing miss. RSI(14) is near 31 and the late-NY broken base at 0.8303–0.8304, which lines up with the 38.2% fib, now sits overhead.

USDCHF reversed the whole Asian bounce from the 0.8304 prior base after a rejection at the 0.8327 asian high, sliding back to retest the 0.8291 session low set by Thursday's post-ISM selloff. That selloff started from the 0.8382 16-month high. Lower highs at 0.8330 and 0.8327 keep the intraday downtrend intact, with RSI(14) near 28 and not yet extreme, and ATR(14) about 5 pips into late Asia.

Late Asia session has dropped through the Asian low at 0.8304 and the 0.8300 psych handle. The decline came after a lower high at the 0.8327 Asian high. Price now sits on the 0.8295 session low, just above Thursday's NY prior low at 0.8292. That low was set when the pair fell after ISM as Treasury yields slid. RSI(14) is near 33, not yet at an extreme.

  • US NFP and AHE at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read from a stretched USD base

Yesterday's slide from the 0.8382 high through the US data window bottomed at the 0.8292 day low. The NY rebound stalled at 0.8330, and Asia's push was rejected at 0.8327, the 38.2% fib.

Rebound stalling below prior NY high · RSI 53 · price 0.83132

Lower high at 0.8327 under 0.8330, Asian range 0.8304–0.8327.

After Thursday's NY slide to the 0.8292 day low on the ISM-driven dip in yields, the Asian rally from the 0.8304 asia low was rejected at 0.8327. That leaves a lower high under the 0.8330 ny high, and price is now testing the 61.8% of the asia rally fib near 0.8313 with the 0.8310 pullback low just below.

Mid-Asia session, price at 0.8312 inside the 0.8304 asian low to 0.8327 asian high band. This follows Thursday's ~90-pip slide from the 0.8382 Swiss CPI spike to the 0.8292 day low, which extended around the US ISM headline miss. The Asian rally stalled at the fib 38.2% of that drop and printed a lower high below the 0.8330 ny high.

The Asia session rally was rejected at 0.8327, an asian high that forms lower highs with the NY bounce top. Price is back near the 50% of the Asia rally fib with RSI(14) neutral around 53.

Intraday rebound inside yesterday's NY sell-off · RSI 65 · price 0.83213

Higher lows off the 0.8304 Asian low, capped at the 0.8327 Asian high.

Mid-Asia session, USDCHF broke out of the late-NY 0.8303–0.8313 range and has built a higher-low chain along the Asia trendline. It is now stalling at the 0.8327 Asian high, near the 38.2% retracement (0.8323) of yesterday's NY sell-off from 0.8372 to 0.8292, which came as softer PCE trimmed Fed hike odds. RSI(14) is near 65 and price sits only marginally above EMA50 (~0.8319), with ATR at about 3.7 pips.

Support: 0.8315, 0.83038, 0.82919

  • Loss of the ema20 near 0.8315 and the Asia trendline breaks the higher-low chain, with the 0.8304 asian low next
  • Failure to hold the 0.8292 day low resumes the NY sell-off structure

Intraday down after NY drop, Asia rebounding · RSI 64 · price 0.8321

Asian HH/HL chain inside 0.8292–0.8330 post-NY range.

Early Asia has built a higher-high/higher-low chain off the 0.8304 asian low and is now pressing the 0.8323 asian high, which sits on the 38.2% fib of yesterday's NY drop. That drop ran from 0.8372 to the 0.8292 ny low through the US ISM Manufacturing release (headline miss at 54.5) and fully unwound the spike to 0.8382 after Swiss CPI. RSI(14) is near 64 and ATR is thin at about 4 pips.

Support: 0.8314, 0.8304, 0.8292

Resistance: 0.8323, 0.8330, 0.8333

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 0.8323 asian high exposes the 0.8330 ny high and the 0.8333 breakdown point, which is near the 50% fib.
  • A break of the 0.8314 higher low ends the Asian HH/HL chain and puts the 0.8304 asian low back in play.
  • Loss of the rising support from the 0.8292 ny low reopens that low.
  • US Nonfarm Payrolls at 12:30 UTC today could materially shift this read.

Post-selloff base; Asian range broken higher, testing 38.2% retracement.

Price is pressing the 38.2% fib of the drop near 0.8326, just under the 0.8330 swing high from the NY bounce, with the 0.8350 prior range above.

Support: 0.8313, 0.8304, 0.8292

Resistance: 0.8330, 0.8350

The bounce stalled at the 0.8330 swing high, just above the 38.2% of the sell-off fib, keeping the lower highs intact. Early Asia is compressing between the 0.8303 Asian low and 0.8313 Asian high, below EMA50 and with ATR shrinking to about 4.5 pips.

Lower highs since NY low; tight Asian range 0.8304–0.8313.

USD/CHF faded the Swiss CPI spike to 0.8382 and broke lower after the 14:00 UTC ISM headline miss, as slipping yields weighed, printing a ny low at 0.8292. The rebound capped at the 0.8330 ny high near the 50% fib, and lower highs since then sit on a falling trendline. Asia is holding a tight range between the 0.8304 asian low and the 0.8313 asian high, with ATR compressed to about 4 pips.

Support: 0.83038, 0.83021, 0.82919

The NY bounce stalled at the 0.8330 bounce high, just above the 38.2% of the day's drop, and early Asia is drifting around 0.8305 under the lower highs line, capped at the 0.8313 Asian high.

  • Failure to hold the 0.8302 late NY low exposes the 0.8292 day low
  • Reclaiming the 0.8330 bounce high would neutralise the NY sell-off read
  • US NFP at 12:30 UTC (f/c 90K) could materially shift this read; ATR near 4.5 pips understates likely release range
