Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 42 · price 0.81655
Lower highs since 0.8313; 0.8127-0.8185 range forming.
USDCHF has printed lower highs since the 0.8313 peak, at the 0.8256 swing high and the 0.8217 lower high. The hot Swiss CPI and the post-midterm USD selloff drove the leg to the 0.8127 swing low. Since then price has held a 0.8127-0.8185 range: the range low has been tested three times and the range high has capped twice. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, and ATR(14) has expanded to roughly 33 pips from sub-20 earlier in the window, so swings remain wide.
Support: 0.8133, 0.8127
Resistance: 0.8185, 0.8217, 0.8256
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 0.8185 range high and the lower-high trendline near 0.8196 would point to a deeper correction toward the 0.8217 lower high and the fib 50% retracement
H4 close below the 0.8127 swing low would extend the lower-low sequence and expose 0.8110
US NFP Fri 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K) could break either range edge and materially shift this read
Fed's Williams at 09:30 UTC Fri is an earlier catalyst for December hike pricing
18:02 UTC
Downtrend, pausing in a tight range · RSI 43 · price 0.81489
Lower highs from 0.8313; base forming at 0.8127-0.8186.
Since the 0.8313 late-October peak, USDCHF has posted lower highs at 0.8256 and 0.8217. The Democratic midterm sweep and the hot 1.5% Swiss CPI drove a break to a 0.8127 swing low. Price has since held a 0.8127-0.8186 consolidation, and the range top has capped three bounces in line with the descending trendline. The latest bar was rejected there and slid back toward the floor. Price sits below both EMAs, the recovery has stalled near the 23.6% fib at 0.8171, and ATR(14) near 32 pips reflects a still-active regime rather than compression.
Support: 0.81273, 0.8100
Resistance: 0.81858, 0.82169, 0.82556
What it said to watch
US NFP Fri 13:30 UTC (f/c 65K) could break the 0.8127-0.8186 range in either direction
H4 close below the 0.8127 swing low confirms a fresh lower low and exposes the 0.8100 round number
H4 close above the 0.8186 range top and descending trendline invalidates the lower-high sequence; 0.8217 lower high is next
Recovery through 0.8217 would bring the 0.8256 prior high and the 50-61.8% fib zone into play
14:02 UTC
Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 49 · price 0.81795
Lower highs from 0.8313; base at 0.8127-0.8135.
Lower highs since the 0.8313 late-October peak. Post-midterm USD selling and the hot Swiss CPI print drove the slide to a 0.8127 swing low. Since then a base has formed at 0.8135, tested three times, and price is now pushing back into the 0.8186 neckline. It has reclaimed EMA20, while EMA50 and the lower-high line sit near 0.8200 overhead, inside the 38.2% retracement of the 0.8313-0.8127 drop. ATR(14) at about 30 pips shows a two-way, choppy regime, not a trend extending.
Support: 0.8135, 0.8127
Resistance: 0.8186, 0.8217, 0.8256
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 0.8186 neckline would complete a double bottom off the base and expose the 0.8217 lower high, then the 0.8256 swing high
Lower-high line and EMA50 near 0.8200 cap the bounce; rejection there keeps the lower-high sequence intact
Failure back below the 0.8135 base and the 0.8127 swing low confirms a lower low
Reaction to Schlegel's speech today and Friday's US NFP (f/c 65K) could materially shift this read
Lower highs and lower lows since 0.8313 peak; tight base above 0.8127.
USDCHF has rolled over from the 0.8313 peak, printing lower highs at the 0.8256 swing high and 0.8217 prior high and lower lows down to the 0.8127 swing low, the drop accelerated by the post-midterm USD selloff and Tuesday's hot Swiss CPI. Price now sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, compressing in a 0.8135–0.8186 band where a triple low near 0.8135 has held three times beneath the 0.8186 lower high. ATR(14) near 30 pips has eased from the mid-week expansion, and RSI around 39 shows the move losing momentum without reaching oversold.
Support: 0.8135, 0.8127, 0.8100
Resistance: 0.8186, 0.8217, 0.8256
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.8127 swing low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.8100 round number
Hold of the triple low at 0.8135 alongside a close above the 0.8186 lower high would mark the first break in the lower-high sequence
Reclaim of the 0.8217 prior high, near the 38.2% fib, would put the 0.8256 swing high back in view
SNB Chairman Schlegel at 13:30 UTC today could materially shift this read
US NFP and AHE on Friday at 13:30 GMT could materially shift this read
Lower-high sequence from 0.8313; price pressing the 0.8127 swing low.
Since the 0.8313 peak the pair has printed successive lower highs at 0.82556 (swing high), 0.82169 (prior high) and 0.81858, with lows stepping down to the 0.81273 swing low. EMA20 sits below EMA50 and price trades under both. CHF has been bid on the hot 1.5% CPI and hawkish SNB repricing, and the USD has softened after the midterm result. ATR(14) near 30 pips has expanded on the latest legs, and price is back near the lows rather than compressing.
Support: 0.81273, 0.8100
Resistance: 0.81858, 0.82169, 0.82556
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.81273 swing low extends the lower-low sequence and opens the 0.8100 round number
Recovery above the 0.81858 lower high and the descending trendline near 0.8194 breaks the lower-high structure
Reclaiming the 0.82169 prior high and the 38.2% fib near 0.8198 would neutralise the downtrend read
SNB's Schlegel at 13:30 UTC today could materially shift this read
US NFP on Friday 13:30 UTC is the main USD-side risk to the structure
