Consolidation above swing low, capped near range top.
USDCHF sold off hard early in the week from the 0.8148 area to a 0.8033 week low, then based and consolidated between 0.8044 swing low and the 0.8095 range top with the franc capped by SNB intervention risk and firm safe-haven Dollar demand. Monday reopened with a small gap up to 0.8082 and price now sits at 0.8086, back above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI cycling around the mid-line. The 0.8100 pivot remains the near-term bull-bear line the digest flags.

Price sits back above EMA(20)/EMA(50) after the weekend gap open near 0.8086, with RSI(14) recovering through the mid-50s.

Basing above week low after impulsive drop.
USD/CHF sold off from 0.8151 early in the window down to the 0.8034 week low, with the sharpest leg during the London session mid-week as soft US inflation pared Fed hike bets. Price has since based in a 0.806-0.809 range and recovered back above EMA(20), RSI(14) cycling back to the mid-50s.
