Pair ripped through 0.8000 mid-week after the hawkish Fed hold and neutral SNB drained the CHF safe-haven bid, breaking from a multi-day base near 0.791. Price has held above EMA(20) through every pullback since, grinding to a fresh week high at 0.8062 before consolidating just under it. RSI(14) sits in the low-60s, firm but not stretched.

Higher highs and higher lows, pressing range top.

USDCHF ripped above the 0.8000 round number after Wednesday's hawkish Fed hold and an SNB that held at 0% and flagged intervention willingness — the impulse off 0.7910 ran through every prior level into the NY session. Price now sits at 2.5-month highs near 0.80499 with RSI stretched into overbought, and intraday pullbacks have been shallow, holding above the 0.80210 swing low. The 0.8000 pivot now acts as the structural floor for the breakout.

USD/CHF accelerated through the week off Monday's 0.7967 open, with the decisive leg arriving on yesterday's hawkish Fed hold that snapped price back above the 0.8000 pivot. The pair has trended cleanly higher through the NY session, printing fresh 2.5-month highs into 0.8050 with RSI(14) stretched near 70. Price sits well above EMA(20) and EMA(50); each pullback has held the rising structure.

Higher highs, breakout above 0.8000.

USDCHF surged off the 0.7910 base after the hawkish Fed hold, reclaiming the 0.8000 pivot and printing a week high at 0.80497; the in-line SNB hold today did little to slow it. Price is riding well above EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) pushing into the high-60s, so the move is stretched but structure remains constructive with each pullback finding higher lows. The 0.8000 pivot has flipped to support after Tuesday's NY-session breakout.

USD/CHF accelerated through the 0.8000 pivot after the hawkish Fed hold and an in-line SNB, with the dominant leg landing in the NY session and the pair printing a 0.80497 session high. Price holds well above EMA(20) and EMA(50) since the breakout, RSI(14) running hot near 65. The 0.80200 intraday low has marked the latest higher-low.

Support: 0.8020, 0.8000, 0.7988

Resistance: 0.8049

What it said to watch

Higher highs and lows since range break.

USD/CHF spent Monday-Wednesday grinding in a 0.7920-0.7950 range before a sharp range break in the NY session lifted the pair through 0.8000 to a 2.5-month high at 0.80497, driven by the hawkish Fed hold and an in-line SNB. Price is consolidating just under that high with RSI(14) holding the upper half on pullbacks, and the reclaimed 0.8000 level now acts as support. Schlegel's intervention rhetoric is the recurring cap on continued franc weakness.

Price has since carved higher lows into the NY session, tagging a week high at 0.80497, with RSI(14) elevated near 67 and price clear of both EMAs.

Price sits well above both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) elevated near 71, reflecting the breakout. The 0.7985 spike base and the 0.8000 round number now sit beneath as the prior breakout zone.

Support: 0.8000, 0.79718, 0.7925

Resistance: 0.80281, 0.8042

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 0.80000 would negate the breakout and put 0.79718 in focus
  • Stalling at 0.80281 with elevated RSI flags a near-term pause
  • SNB intervention rhetoric could swing CHF flows after the 0% hold

Uptrend, fresh breakout · RSI 71 · price 0.80252

Range break, higher highs.

USDCHF spent most of the week capped in a 0.7910–0.7950 range before breaking higher during the NY session yesterday, with a second leg through 0.8000 on this morning's SNB press conference as a dovish-priced franc softened. Price now sits at the 0.80257 session high, holding well above EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) in overbought territory after the impulse. The 0.8000 psych level is the immediate reference now flipped from cap to support.

Support: 0.8000, 0.7985, 0.79253

Resistance: 0.80257, 0.80154

What it said to watch

  • SNB press conference ongoing — further intervention rhetoric could extend the move
  • Loss of 0.8000 psych on an H1 close would question the breakout
  • H1 close back below 0.79850 consol low negates the range break

Uptrend, fresh breakout · RSI 70 · price 0.80252

Breakout from consolidation, higher highs.

USDCHF ripped out of a 0.792-0.795 consolidation that capped most of the week, surging from ~0.7925 as the SNB press conference leaned on FX-intervention willingness and softened the franc. Price has since cleared 0.8000 and printed a fresh week high at 0.80257, holding well above EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) stretched near 70. The 0.8000 round number now sits beneath as the first reference on any pullback.

Support: 0.8000, 0.7988, 0.79718

Resistance: 0.80257, 0.8050

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 0.8000 psych would question the breakout and reopen 0.79880
  • Sustained acceptance above 0.80257 week high opens the 0.8050 psych area
  • Any reversal of the US-Iran peace framework could revive two-way haven flows and shift this read

Uptrend after FOMC breakout, consolidating · RSI 61 · price 0.80016

Broke prior week range, holding above 0.8000.

USDCHF ripped off the 0.7925 base into 0.80154 on the hawkish Warsh FOMC repricing, snapping the prior week range that capped near 0.7950–0.7990. Price has since consolidated just above the 0.8000 psych line with RSI(14) cooling from the spike but holding above 50; pullbacks have been shallow and well above EMA20. The SNB presser at 08:00 UTC is the immediate cross-current to the dollar-led move.

Support: 0.7984, 0.7950

Resistance: 0.80016, 0.80154

What it said to watch

  • SNB presser tone could soften CHF or revive the bid, materially shifting this read
  • US Jobless Claims / Philly Fed at 12:30 UTC could extend or fade the FOMC impulse
  • Hourly close back below 0.79840 consol low reopens the 0.7950 ema zone

Post-breakout consolidation under week high.

USDCHF broke out of a multi-day grind lower on Wednesday's hawkish FOMC, ripping from the 0.7910 base to 0.80154 and reclaiming the 0.8000 handle in the NY session. Price has since consolidated just under that week high with RSI cooling from the breakout extreme; EMA20 and EMA50 now sit below price after the impulse. The 0.79880 base has held as a higher low through the Asia and early London hours.

Support: 0.7988, 0.7960, 0.7925

Resistance: 0.80154, 0.8000

What it said to watch

Vertical breakout, now consolidating below 0.8000.

USDCHF spent most of the week grinding lower from 0.7975 toward 0.7910 before yesterday's hawkish FOMC sparked a vertical breakout from the 0.79253 base up to a week high at 0.80154. Price has since rejected the 0.8000 psych handle and is consolidating just below it on a flat consol floor around 0.79818, with RSI cooling from the spike. The SNB decision at 07:30 UTC is the immediate catalyst into this read.

Support: 0.79818, 0.7950, 0.79253

Resistance: 0.8000, 0.80154

What it said to watch

Consolidation below week high after impulsive leg.

USDCHF ripped from 0.7925 to a 0.80154 week high in the NY session as the hawkish FOMC hold lit up the dollar, clearing the 0.7950 cap in one impulse. Price has since consolidated in a tight 0.7982–0.7995 band just under the 0.8000 round number, holding well above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling in the high-50s/low-60s. The 0.80154 high rejected once and remains the line into today's SNB decision.

Price has since coiled in a tight band above 0.7982, holding above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) cooling near 60 after the surge. The 0.8000 psych level and 0.80154 week high are capping the rebound.

Tight range above breakout level.

USDCHF ripped from 0.7925 to a week high at 0.80154 in a single impulse as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot flip repriced the dollar higher yesterday. Since then price has consolidated in a tight band with a floor near 0.79820 and the 0.80000 psych cap holding overhead, RSI cooling off the spike. Price holds well above EMA20 and EMA50 with the breakout base at 0.79718 untested.

Since the spike price has gone sideways between 0.7982 and 0.8000, holding above EMA20 with RSI(14) cooling from overbought back toward 60. The 0.8000 psych level has capped the rebound so far.

Price drifted to the week low at 0.79100 on Tuesday before a sharp impulse leg on the hawkish Warsh Fed and hot US retail sales lifted USDCHF to 0.80154 in one NY-session candle. Since then it has consolidated in a tight band around 0.7985, holding above EMA20 and EMA50 with the 0.8000 round number capping.

Broke multi-day range, holding gains.

USD/CHF ripped from the 0.7925 area to 0.8015 on yesterday's hawkish Fed/Warsh hold and hot US retail sales, clearing a multi-day range in two NY-session bars. The 0.8000 round number rejected the first test and price has since drifted into a tight consolidation near 0.7986, still holding well above EMA(20) and EMA(50). RSI(14) cooled off its post-spike peak but stays above 50.

Consolidating below 0.8000 after impulse.

USDCHF drifted lower through most of the week in a 0.792–0.795 range before a sharp impulse off Wednesday's hawkish FOMC and hot US retail sales lifted price to 0.80154, just shy of the 0.8000 barrier. Since the spike the pair has consolidated in a tight 0.7982–0.7997 band, holding well above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) easing from overbought back toward the low-60s.

Price holds above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cooling off the post-spike extreme; the 0.8000 psych barrier capped the move on first contact. The earlier-week grind lower has been fully reversed.
