Range, rolling toward lows · RSI 43 · price 0.80772
Multi-week range, rejected upper half.
USDCHF has churned in a multi-week range between roughly 0.8039 and 0.8205, and price has now rolled back below the 0.8100 pivot after rejecting the 0.8135 area. The soft US NFP print (-23K vs +80K) knocked the dollar broadly, driving the sharp final-bar drop from 0.8128 to the 0.8056 low before a modest bounce. ATR(14) near 21 pips keeps the range intact rather than trending, with price now sitting in the lower half.

Range, rolling over after NFP · RSI 42 · price 0.80772
Range, capped near 0.8130, testing lower edge.
USDCHF has spent the last three weeks ranging between the 0.8205 high and the 0.8039 swing low, with the 0.8100 pivot the fulcrum. The pair rejected 0.8130 and sold off hard on the -23K US NFP shock, dropping back under 0.8100 and now probing the lower half of the range. A sequence of lower highs off 0.8205 keeps the range tilted toward its floor, with the 50-day SMA near 0.8052 the next structural test.

Recovering off lows, range-bound · RSI 51 · price 0.81017
Consolidation around 0.8100 after mid-window selloff.
USDCHF is chopping around the 0.8100 pivot after a sharp selloff from the 0.8205 range high to 0.8039 late last week; price has since clawed back but stalled under 0.8135. The soft-CHF, USD-safe-haven backdrop keeps the pair pinned to the dollar leg, and today's NFP release sits inside this bar window. ATR is off its selloff spike but structure remains a range between 0.8040 and 0.8135.
Support: 0.8065, 0.8040
Resistance: 0.8135, 0.8150, 0.8205

Range-bound, no clear direction · RSI 49 · price 0.81017
Choppy range, chopping around 0.8100 pivot.
USDCHF is range-bound between the late-month swing low at 0.8039 and the 0.8205 range high, chopping around the 0.8100 pivot after recovering from the sharp flush lower. ATR was inflated by that spike but has normalised, with EMA20 and EMA50 converged around current price — a sign of directionless drift. With a soft CHF backdrop, the pair is trading on the USD/risk leg rather than its own story.
Support: 0.8100, 0.8039, 0.8052

What it said to watch

Loss of the 0.8100 pivot and the 0.8039 swing low confirms a range-low breakdown toward the 50-day sma
US NFP could materially shift this read via the USD leg
Range 0.8040-0.8205; price mid-range near 0.8100 pivot.
USDCHF is consolidating in a broad 0.8040-0.8205 range after the sharp late-month flush to 0.8039 and subsequent recovery; price sits just above the 0.8100 pivot but capped by the 0.8150 breakout line, with the CHF the weakest G10 on the SNB-on-hold/soft CPI story. Price is riding above EMA20 but below EMA50, a compression consistent with a range awaiting a catalyst. ATR(14) around 150 pips reflects the choppy two-way tape between 0.8040 and 0.8130.
Support: 0.8100, 0.8052, 0.8040

Range, recovering off lows · RSI 51 · price 0.81149
Two-week range after sharp drop from 0.8207.
USDCHF has churned in a 0.8040-0.8135 range for two weeks after the sharp drop from 0.8207, with CHF the weakest G10 currency keeping the franc offered on the SNB-on-hold story. Price has clawed back to the 0.8115 area and is capped near the 0.8135 range high, holding just above the 0.8100 pivot. ATR(14) has compressed as the range tightens into today's US NFP.
Support: 0.8100, 0.8058, 0.8040
Resistance: 0.8135, 0.8150, 0.8205
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.8150 opens the path to the 0.8205 yearly high
Failure to hold the 0.8100 pivot exposes the 0.8058 swing low
A sharp late-window selloff dumped USDCHF to 0.8039 before demand stepped in and rebuilt a series of higher-lows, with price now back above the 0.8100 pivot after the CHF-softening backdrop (sub-0.7% Swiss inflation, SNB parked). The pair is ranging below the 0.8150 resistance shelf, and ATR(14) has compressed toward ~18 pips, pointing to a tightening range ahead of the payrolls catalyst. Both EMA20 and EMA50 sit below price, aligning with the recovery.

05:02 UTC
Recovering off the lows, higher lows building · RSI 60 · price 0.81258
Broad 0.804-0.821 range, mid-range recovery.
USDCHF sold off sharply from the 0.8207 range high to 0.8039 late last month, then clawed back roughly half the move to reclaim the 0.8100 pivot — consistent with the broader soft-CHF, hawkish-USD tone into NFP. Price now sits near the 50% retrace at ~0.8123, holding a series of higher lows off the 0.8039 base with ATR(14) around 19 pips. Momentum is constructive but the pair remains capped well below the 0.8150 hurdle.

H4 close above 0.8150 opens the path back to the 0.8207 range high
Failure to hold the 0.8100 pivot exposes the 0.8055 swing low and 0.8039
USDCHF has clawed back the late-month flush to 0.8039 and pushed above the well-worn 0.8100 confluence that repeatedly capped price over the past two weeks. Rising lows since the crash low keep the recovery intact, with ATR(14) off its spike highs as the pair consolidates the bounce. US NFP today (12:30 UTC) is the dominant catalyst for the USD leg and can decide whether this 0.8100 reclaim holds or fails.
Support: 0.8100, 0.8064, 0.8042

01:02 UTC
Range-bound, recovering off lows · RSI 59 · price 0.81263
Recovery from 0.8039 low, testing 0.8100 range top.
USDCHF has clawed back from the sharp late-month selloff to 0.8039 and is pressing on the 0.8100 confluence that has capped the pair repeatedly, printing a recent high at 0.8136 before easing to 0.8126. Price sits around the 50% retracement of the 0.8207-0.8039 leg with EMA20/EMA50 both below spot, but the move has stalled ahead of today's US Nonfarm Payrolls. ATR is mid-range, neither compressed nor expanding.
