23:04 UTC
Uptrend stalling, pullback in force · RSI 36 · price 0.82232
Post-breakout range, lower highs since Thursday.
The dominant move of the week was a single-bar breakout out of the 0.8175–0.8192 Asia/London range when the hawkish Fed hike hit, lifting price ~70 pips and setting the week high at 0.8264 in the following session. Since then structure has flattened into a 0.8216–0.8264 consolidation with successively lower highs, and Friday's NY session profit-taking pushed price back under EMA(20) with fri supply near 0.8250 capping the last attempt. Price has re-opened around 0.8223 in thin conditions, below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 36 — the weakest reading since the breakout.
Support: 0.8216, 0.8185
Resistance: 0.8235, 0.8250, 0.8264
What it said to watch
An hourly close back above 0.8235 (ema20) and then fri supply at 0.8250 would restore the post-FOMC continuation structure
Loss of the friday low at 0.8216 extends the pullback and puts the 0.8185 prior base in play
US flash PMIs Wed 13:45 UTC and the SNB assessment Thu 07:30 UTC are the two events capable of resetting this range read
Wednesday's hawkish Fed hike produced a single 68-pip H1 candle out of 0.8175, and the week high at 0.8264 has capped every attempt since. The following three sessions built a 0.8222–0.8264 range, then Friday's NY session saw profit-taking as the US 10y slipped, dragging price through the range base and into a close under EMA20 at 0.8235. RSI(14) has cycled down to the low 30s and the thin Sunday-open bars are holding just above the friday low at 0.8216.
Support: 0.8216, 0.8185
Resistance: 0.8235, 0.8250, 0.8264
What it said to watch
An H1 close back above 0.8250 range mid would restore the post-FOMC range read
Failure to hold 0.8216 friday low exposes the 0.8185 pre-fomc base
SNB decision Thu 07:30 UTC — statement language, not the rate, is the catalyst that could reshape this range
Rejection at EMA20 on any bounce would confirm the lower-highs sequence
21:04 UTC
Uptrend stalling, Friday pullback in control · RSI 31 · price 0.82205
Post-FOMC impulse, two-day consolidation, break of its floor into lower highs/lower lows.
The week's dominant move was a single London-session impulse off 0.8175 to a 0.82638 week high after the Fed's hawkish hike, after which price spent two full sessions consolidating between roughly 0.8225 and that high, with rejection near 0.8260 on three separate attempts. Friday's NY session broke the consolidation floor and closed at 0.82205, the first sustained H1 acceptance below both EMA20 (~0.8235) and EMA50 as USD profit-taking set in, with RSI(14) down near 31 — its lowest since Wednesday's impulse. The final bars are compressing into 0.8216/0.8221 rather than extending, so the broken base at 0.8225 is now the first level overhead.
Support: 0.82159, 0.8185
Resistance: 0.8225, 0.8235, 0.82638
What it said to watch
An H1 close back above the 0.8225 broken base, then ema20 at 0.8235, would restore the consolidation read
Failure to hold the 0.82159 session low confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence toward the 0.8185 pre-fomc area
SNB decision Thu 07:30 UTC and US flash PMIs Wed 13:45 UTC are the events capable of resetting this structure
