Uptrend, in corrective pullback · RSI 47 · price 0.83056
Higher lows intact; rebound stalling at 61.8% of the drop.
The three-week advance from 0.8067 topped at the 16m high of 0.8382. It then reversed sharply to the 0.8227 swing low as the soft NFP and PCE data cut Fed-hike odds and revived CHF's haven bid. That low held above the higher-low trendline from the 0.8183 higher low. Monday's rebound from the 0.8277 monday low met rejection at the 61.8% fib of the drop near 0.8324, leaving price between EMA20 (~0.8311) and EMA50 (~0.8300). ATR(14) near 30 pips is easing back from the reversal spike, so the pair is compressing between the swing low and the 61.8% fib.

Resistance: 0.8324, 0.8362, 0.8382
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.8324 (61.8% fib) reopens the 0.8362 prior high and the 0.8382 16m high
Loss of the 0.8277 monday low exposes the 0.8227 swing low and the higher-low trendline
H4 close below 0.8227 breaks the higher-low sequence, leaving the 0.8183 higher low as the next structural marker
Fed's Williams/Bowman (Tue) and FOMC Minutes (Wed 18:00 UTC) could materially shift this read via October hike pricing
Sharp rejection from 0.8382; bounce testing 61.8% of the drop.
The rally from the 0.8183 prior low ran to a 0.8382 cycle high before a sharp rejection. Softer US jobs data and CHF haven demand dragged price to the 0.8227 swing low, breaking the late-September higher lows but holding above rising support. Price has since recovered into the 61.8% fib of that drop near 0.8324, close to the 0.8320 former support now acting as a cap, while holding just above a flattening ema cluster near 0.8305. ATR(14) near 30 pips has eased from last week's reversal expansion.
Support: 0.8305, 0.8227, 0.8183
Resistance: 0.8324, 0.8362, 0.8382
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 61.8% fib at 0.8324 reopens the prior highs near 0.8362 and the 0.8382 cycle high
Failure to hold the ema cluster at 0.8305 exposes the 0.8227 swing low and rising support
A break of the 0.8227 swing low and rising support would shift focus to the 0.8183 prior low
Fed's Williams and Bowman (Tue) and FOMC Minutes (Wed 18:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

Uptrend, correcting from cycle high · RSI 42 · price 0.8291
Higher lows since mid-Sept intact; lower high forming after 0.8382 rejection.
The three-week advance from the 0.8183 prior low ran into rejection at the 0.8382 cycle high, after softer US PCE and fiscal safe-haven demand for CHF drove a sharp drop to the 0.8227 swing low. The rebound stalled at 0.8316 between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the drop, leaving a lower high. Price now sits below EMA20 but above the EMA50 at 0.8266, and the rising support line of higher lows is still intact. ATR is near 31 pips, with ranges contracting from the expansion seen on the drop.
Support: 0.8266, 0.8227, 0.8183
Resistance: 0.8316, 0.8382

H4 close above the 0.8316 lower high reopens the 0.8382 cycle high
Loss of the 0.8266 ema50 puts the 0.8227 swing low back in play
Break below 0.8227 breaches rising support and confirms a lower low, exposing the 0.8183 prior low

Uptrend, deep pullback under repair · RSI 46 · price 0.83139
Higher lows intact; lower high at 0.8330 after rejection from 16m high.
Higher lows have held since the 0.8067 base, with the rising trendline intact. The rally into the 16m high at 0.8382 was rejected after the soft PCE print and Friday's 29K NFP miss, and the slide stalled at the 0.8227 swing low, close to the 78.6% retracement of the impulse fib. Price has bounced back above the 0.83 pivot into the EMA20/EMA50 cluster around 0.8313, but it remains below the 0.8330 lower high. ATR(14) near 30 pips is roughly double its mid-window level, so this is an expanding, two-way regime rather than compression.
Support: 0.8300, 0.82829, 0.82271
Resistance: 0.83295, 0.83669, 0.83824
What it said to watch
ISM Services today 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) could materially shift this read via October hike odds
H4 close above the 0.8330 lower high reopens the prior highs near 0.8367 and the 16m high at 0.8382
Failure to hold the 0.83 pivot puts the 50% fib at 0.8283 back in focus
Close below the 0.8227 swing low breaks the higher-lows trendline and the uptrend structure
The higher-high, higher-low sequence that ran from 0.8067 ended with a rejection at the 0.8382 16m high. The slide then broke the rising trendline and the 0.8321 prior low, printing a swing low at 0.8227 as the 29K NFP miss and franc safe-haven demand weighed. The rebound stalled at the 0.8298 bounce high, between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the drop, and price now sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, with ATR(14) near 30 pips and still expanded.
Support: 0.8227, 0.8200
Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8321, 0.8382
What it said to watch
H4 close back above the 0.8321 prior low would undo the lower-low read and put the 0.8382 16m high back in focus
A clear break above the 0.8298 bounce high reopens the 50% fib of the drop near 0.8305
Failure to hold the 0.8227 swing low exposes the 0.8200 round number
EMA20 crossing below EMA50 would confirm the swing rollover
