Uptrend, pressing the day high · RSI 58 · price 0.82774

HH/HL chain since London broke above the Asian range.

London broke above Monday's Asian range (0.8232–0.8247) and NY extended the HH/HL chain to a 0.8279 day high on broad USD firmness into FOMC. The thin rollover dip to 0.8261, at the 38.2% fib of the Asia low to day high move, was fully recovered, and early Asia is back at the day high with RSI(14) near 58 and ATR(14) at about 3 pips.

Support: 0.8273, 0.8263, 0.8252

Resistance: 0.8279, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8279 day high opens the 0.8290 range cap
  • Failure to hold the 0.8273 asia pivot puts the 0.8263 ny swing low back in play
  • Break below the 0.8252 london low negates the HH/HL chain

Uptrend, stalling at day high · RSI 57 · price 0.82766

HH/HL chain from London open; tight early-Asia compression under 0.8279.

London open broke Monday's Asian range (0.8232–0.8247), and pre-FOMC USD short-covering carried the HH/HL chain through NY to a 0.8279 day high. Early Asia is compressing just under that high, above a 0.8273 asia floor. The rollover dip to 0.8261 was a thin-liquidity spread spike, and RSI(14) sits neutral at 57.

Support: 0.8273, 0.8263, 0.8252

Resistance: 0.8279, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8279 day high extends the HH chain toward the 0.8290 range cap
  • Loss of the 0.8263 ny swing low breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.8255 50% fib, near the 0.8252 swing low
  • Failure to hold the 0.8273 asia floor turns the compression into a pullback toward the 38.2% fib at 0.8261
  • Tue Durable Goods 12:30 UTC and Consumer Confidence 14:00 UTC set pre-FOMC tone; Wed FOMC could materially shift this read

23:17 UTC

Uptrend, stalling near day high · RSI 53 · price 0.82744

Higher highs and higher lows from the Asian low; tight consolidation under the session high after a rollover dip.

USDCHF climbed about 47 pips from the 0.8232 Asian low to a 0.82787 session high late in NY hours, helped by pre-FOMC USD short-covering. The rollover dip to 0.82613 sat on the 38.2% fib and was bought back. Price is now holding flat near 0.8274 early in the Asia session with RSI neutral and the 0.82634 swing low intact.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82613, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8280

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 0.82787 session high and the 0.8280 round number extends the higher-high chain
  • Failure below the 0.82634 swing low and 0.82613 rollover low breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.82521 pullback low near the 50% fib
  • US Durable Goods and Consumer Confidence on Tuesday, then Wednesday's FOMC, could materially shift this read

23:02 UTC

Uptrend, stalling below session high · RSI 50 · price 0.82738

HL chain from Asian low 0.8232; tight 0.8273–0.8279 consolidation.

Pre-FOMC USD short-covering drove a 47-pip climb from the Asian low at 0.8232 through London and NY. Higher lows held at the london low of 0.8252 and the ny swing low of 0.8263, and the move topped at the 0.8279 session high. A thin rollover dip to 0.8261 was quickly recovered. Early Asia session now holds a tight band just above the rising trendline near 0.8272, with RSI(14) flat at 50.

Support: 0.8272, 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the trendline near 0.8272 and then the ny swing low at 0.8263 would break the higher-low chain
  • Close above the 0.8279 session high opens the 0.8290 range cap flagged in the CHF digest
  • Fib 38.2% of the Asian low to session high leg sits near 0.8261, in line with the ny swing low
  • Tue US Durable Goods and Consumer Confidence, then Wed FOMC, could materially shift this read

22:47 UTC

Uptrend, momentum flattening near highs · RSI 55 · price 0.82748

HH/HL chain from Asian low; consolidating just under session high.

London broke above the 0.8232–0.8245 Asian range and the pair built a higher-high chain into the late-NY session high at 0.8279, in line with pre-FOMC USD short-covering. The thin rollover dip to 0.8261, at the 38.2% fib of the Asian low to session high leg, was fully retraced. Price is back near 0.8275 in early Asia, with RSI(14) neutral near 55 and ATR(14) about 3.5 pips.

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 0.8279 session high opens the 0.8290 range cap flagged in the CHF digest
  • Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods and 14:00 UTC Consumer Confidence could shift the read; FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC is the larger risk

22:32 UTC

Intraday uptrend, pressing session high · RSI 55 · price 0.82755

Higher-low chain from Asian low, Asian range broken higher.

London broke the Asian high at 0.8252 and NY extended the higher-low chain to a 0.8279 session high on pre-FOMC USD short-covering, completing the Asia-to-NY leg. A thin rollover dip to 0.8261 was fully recovered, and price is back under the session high with the 0.8290 range cap overhead.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8279 session high exposes the 0.8290 range cap
  • Failure to hold the 0.8263 ny low breaks the higher-low chain and turns focus to the 0.8252 asian high
  • Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods and the Wed FOMC decision could materially shift this read

22:17 UTC

Intraday uptrend, recovering after rollover dip · RSI 54 · price 0.82742

Higher-high/higher-low chain from the Asian low; the rollover dip held at the 38.2% fib.

London broke the Asian range high at 0.8252 and NY extended the climb to a 0.82787 session high, as USD shorts were trimmed into Wednesday's Fed. The rollover gap tagged 0.82613, the 38.2% retrace of the London-NY rally, and price has recovered to 0.8274 with a higher low at 0.82669. RSI(14) is neutral near 54.

Support: 0.82669, 0.82613, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.82787 session high extends the higher-high chain toward the 0.8290 range cap flagged in the CHF digest
  • Break below the 0.82669 higher low, then the 0.82613 rollover low, would mean a deeper retrace of the London-NY rally toward the 0.82521 NY low
  • ATR is depressed in thin Asia session trade; Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods is the next scheduled catalyst ahead of Wednesday's Fed

22:02 UTC

Intraday uptrend, momentum flattening into Asia · RSI 56 · price 0.82752

HH/HL chain from the 0.8232 Asian low; rollover spike retraced.

USD/CHF climbed from the 0.8232 Asian low in a higher-high/higher-low sequence. London cleared the Asian range, and NY extended to a 0.8279 session high as USD shorts were trimmed into the Fed. The thin-liquidity rollover dip to 0.8261 has been fully retraced, with price back near 0.8275 above the rising hl line and RSI(14) neutral around 56.

21:47 UTC

Intraday uptrend, pausing below day high · RSI 52 · price 0.82705

Higher-low chain from Asian low; post-rollover pullback held above 0.8263 swing low.

London broke above the Asian range (0.8232–0.8245), and NY extended to a 0.8279 day high on pre-Fed USD short-covering. That built higher lows at 0.8246, the 0.8252 pullback low and the 0.8263 swing low. The rollover dip to 0.8261 held at the fib 38.2% of the Asian-low-to-day-high move, and price is back near 0.8270, just under ema20 in thin early-Asia trade.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82608, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8279 day high resumes the uptrend toward the 0.8290 range cap
  • Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods and 14:00 UTC Consumer Confidence could shift the pre-Fed USD tone

Intraday uptrend, paused after NY close · RSI 47 · price 0.82689

HH/HL chain from Asian low; rollover gap back to 38.2% fib.

London cleared the Asian high near 0.8252, and NY extended the higher-high chain to a 0.8279 day high as USD shorts were trimmed ahead of Wednesday's Fed. A thin rollover gap dropped price to 0.8261, near the 38.2% level of the day rally fib, and it now sits at 0.8269, just under EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral at 47.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • Holding the 0.8263 swing low keeps the higher-low chain intact; losing it exposes the 0.8252 asian high, the 50% fib zone
  • Recovery above the 0.8279 day high brings the 0.8290 range cap back into focus
  • Tue Durable Goods 12:30 UTC and Consumer Confidence 14:00 UTC could reset the read ahead of the Fed

Intraday uptrend, paused at rollover · RSI 45 · price 0.82663

HH/HL chain from the Asian low, rollover gap below the rising trendline.

Monday's climb from the 0.82319 Asian low built a HH/HL chain through London and NY on USD short-covering into the Fed, topping at the 0.82787 day high late in NY, still below the 0.8290 range cap. The thin-liquidity rollover bar gapped down to the 0.82613 rollover low and broke the rising trendline. Price sits at 0.82663, between the 0.82634 swing low and the 0.82763 gap fill level, with RSI(14) near 45.

Resistance: 0.82763, 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • Asia session reclaim of 0.82763 closes the gap fill and restores the HH/HL read toward the 0.82787 day high
  • M15 close below the 0.82634 swing low and the 0.82613 rollover low breaks the HL chain and exposes the 0.82521 ny-open low
  • 0.8290 range cap remains the upper boundary of the pair's range
  • Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods, then Wednesday's Fed decision, could materially shift this read

21:04 UTC

Uptrend, late-NY drift near highs · RSI 66 · price 0.82763

Higher highs and higher lows since the Asian range break.

USD short-covering into Wednesday's Fed lifted the pair out of the 0.8232–0.8253 Asian range at London open. It then built higher lows through NY to a 0.8279 session high, with the 0.8263 NY pullback holding on the rising trendline. Late NY is grinding in a narrow 3-pip ATR band just above the EMA20 at 0.8274.

Support: 0.8274, 0.8263, 0.8252

Resistance: 0.8279, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8263 NY pullback low breaks the rising trendline and the higher-low chain
  • Loss of the 0.8252 swing low, near the 0.8253 Asian high, sends price back into the Asian range and voids the breakout
  • Acceptance above the 0.8279 session high exposes the 0.8290 range cap flagged in the macro read
  • Thin Asia session liquidity ahead of Tuesday's US Durable Goods and Wednesday's Fed could produce outsized wicks

20:47 UTC

Uptrend, late-session grind to new highs · RSI 68 · price 0.82783

HH/HL chain since the London break of the Asian range; higher low held at 0.8263.

London broke the Asian range (0.8232–0.8247) on Monday's broad USD rebound into Fed week. NY extended the HH/HL chain past the 0.8277 prior high to a session high at 0.8279 in thin late trade, with RSI(14) near 68. The 0.8263 swing low held as the latest higher low on the rising trendline.

Support: 0.82772, 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 0.8277 prior high would mark the late push as a false break
  • Loss of the 0.8263 swing low breaks the HL chain and the rising trendline; the 0.8252 ny low sits below
  • 0.8290 range cap (top of the 0.8200–0.8290 range) is the next resistance above the session high
  • Tue Durable Goods 12:30 UTC and Consumer Confidence 14:00 UTC set the pre-Fed tone; Wed FOMC is the main swing risk

20:32 UTC

Uptrend, late-NY grind into highs · RSI 67 · price 0.82782

Higher-high/higher-low chain since the Asian low.

The pair gapped about 17 pips lower at the weekly open and set an Asian low at 0.8232. London and NY then built a steady higher-lows sequence to a session high at 0.8279 as the dollar rebounded into Fed week. Late NY is drifting just above the ema20 on a thin ATR(14) of about 3 pips, with RSI(14) firm near 67 but not stretched.

Support: 0.8273, 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.82787, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 0.8263 swing low breaks the higher-lows trendline. A loss of the 0.8252 pullback low would unwind half of the move from the Asian low.
  • Session high at 0.8279: watch for acceptance above or rejection beneath. The digest flags the 0.8290 range cap as the next ceiling.
  • Tue 12:30 UTC Durable Goods and 14:00 UTC Consumer Confidence, then Wed 18:00 UTC FOMC, could materially shift this read.

20:17 UTC

Uptrend, grinding to session high · RSI 61 · price 0.82779

HH/HL chain since Asia, higher lows intact.

Price is pressing a fresh session high at 0.8278 late in NY, after London broke the Asian range top near 0.8253 and filled the weekend gap. Pre-FOMC USD firmness is behind the move. Higher lows at 0.8252 and the 0.8263 swing low keep the chain intact, with RSI(14) near 61, not stretched, and ATR(14) about 3 pips as liquidity thins after London close.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82521

Resistance: 0.8278, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • A sustained break above the 0.8278 session high exposes the 0.8290 range cap flagged into the Fed
  • Failure to hold the 0.8263 swing low breaks the higher-lows trendline and the HH/HL chain
  • A drop back through 0.8252 (gap fill / London low) would negate the Asian range breakout
  • Asia session opens shortly; thin liquidity at the session high can produce a false break
  • US Durable Goods (Tue 12:30 UTC) and Wednesday's FOMC could materially shift this read

London broke the Asian range high; late NY retesting the session high.

London opened with a break of the Asian high near 0.8253 and built a steady HH/HL chain, helped by pre-FOMC USD repositioning. NY extended it to a 0.8277 session high. The late-NY pullback held the 0.8263 swing low, roughly a 55% retrace of the NY leg off the 0.8252 pre-NY low, and price is back pressing the session high after London close.

Support: 0.82634, 0.82521, 0.8253

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 0.8277 session high extends the HH chain toward the 0.8290 range cap
  • Failure to hold the 0.8263 swing low breaks the HL sequence and exposes the 0.8252 pre-NY low, with the 0.8253 Asian high just above it
  • A second stall at 0.8277 would leave a flat top at the session high
  • Rising support trendline from the Asian low sits near 0.8262

Intraday uptrend, pressing session high · RSI 65 · price 0.8262

Higher lows at 0.8246 and 0.8253 after reversing the Asian dip; Friday high cleared.

USD/CHF reversed the Asian dip to the 0.8232 asian low into London. It cleared Friday's 0.8256 high as the dollar found dip-buyers ahead of Wednesday's FOMC, and the 10:15 UTC pullback held near that level. With higher lows at the 0.8246 london low and the 0.8253 swing low, price is back at the 0.8263 session high late in London. RSI(14) is near 65, firm but not stretched.

Resistance: 0.8263, 0.8270

What it said to watch

  • Break of the 0.8253 swing low and the intraday trendline undercuts the higher-low chain
  • Loss of the 0.8246 london low, near the 50% fib of the asia-london leg, puts the 0.8232 asian low back in view
  • No scheduled data in the next 8h. Tuesday's US durable goods (12:30 UTC) and Wednesday's FOMC are the next catalysts

Higher-high/higher-low chain since London open, pressing the session high.

London lifted USDCHF out of the Asian range from the 0.8232 asian low and cleared Friday's 0.8256 high, printing higher lows at 0.8246 and 0.8253 and a 0.8263 session high. The pair has reclaimed the 0.8250 area flagged in the macro read as USD holds firm into FOMC, with RSI(14) near 63 and room before the 0.8290 range top.

Support: 0.82533, 0.82463, 0.82319

Resistance: 0.82626, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8253 swing low breaks the higher-low trendline and the London leg structure
  • Loss of the 0.8246 higher low puts the 0.8232 asian low and the fib 61.8% back in play
  • Acceptance above the 0.8263 session high exposes the 0.8290 range top (UOB 0.8200–0.8290 band)

11:16 UTC

Intraday uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 54 · price 0.82563

HH/HL chain from the Asian low; London broke above the Asian range and Friday's high.

London took out the 0.8253 Asian range high and Friday's 0.8256 high as USD dip-buying surfaced in early Europe. That filled Monday's opening gap and set a 0.8263 session high. The pullback held the 0.8253 swing low, just above the 38.2% fib, so the higher-low chain from the 0.8232 asian low stays intact, with RSI(14) neutral near 54 and price above both EMAs.

Support: 0.82534, 0.82463, 0.82319

Resistance: 0.82626, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8253 swing low exposes the 0.8246 higher low and the 50% fib
  • Break of the 0.8263 session high into NY hours opens the path to the 0.8290 range top
  • Loss of the 0.8232 asian low unwinds the London breakout

Uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 53 · price 0.82563

London higher lows above broken Asian range high.

London broke the Asian high at 0.8247 and Friday's 0.8256 high, set a session high at 0.8263, then pulled back to a higher swing low at 0.8253. The dip was bought on the London higher-low line. RSI(14) has cooled to ~53 as haven demand faded on Iran headlines, while lower US yields cap the dollar.

Support: 0.82534, 0.82474

Resistance: 0.82626, 0.8290

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.8253 swing low breaks the London higher-low line and exposes the 0.8247 Asian high (~50% of the London leg)
  • M15 close above the 0.8263 session high extends the London leg, with the 0.8290 range top as the next cap
  • NY open and US yield direction in the next few hours could test the higher-low structure
  • FOMC on Wed 28 Oct could materially shift the read; pre-Fed ranges tend to stay contained

10:46 UTC

Intraday uptrend, pulling back from session high · RSI 56 · price 0.82549

Higher lows from 0.8232; Asian high broken, now being retested.

London broke the 0.8253 Asian high and set a session high at 0.8263. Price has eased back to retest the Asian high, with RSI(14) cooling to the mid-50s. Higher lows from 0.8232 remain intact. The pair is consolidating around 0.8250 as a softer dollar meets pre-FOMC caution.

Support: 0.8253, 0.8246, 0.8236

Resistance: 0.8258, 0.8263

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 0.8253 Asian high turns the London breakout into a false break
  • Loss of the 0.8246 higher low (61.8% of the London leg) breaks the higher-low chain; the 0.8236 swing low sits below
  • Reclaim of the 0.8258 prior high and a close above the 0.8263 session high resumes the London leg
  • Fed decision Wed 18:00 UTC is the dominant catalyst; ranges may compress into NY hours

Intraday uptrend, momentum flattening · RSI 67 · price 0.8259

London higher-low chain above broken Asian and Friday highs.

London lifted USDCHF out of the 0.8232–0.8246 Asian range and through Friday's high near 0.8255, printing higher lows up to a 0.8263 session high as USD steadies ahead of the Fed. Mid-London, RSI(14) is cooling near 67 and price is sitting on the London rising line, with the 61.8% fib of the leg aligned with the Asian high at 0.8246.

Support: 0.8255, 0.8246, 0.8232

  • Loss of 0.8246 (Asian high / 61.8% fib) breaks the London higher-low chain and reopens the Asian low at 0.8232
  • Clearance of the 0.8263 session high exposes the 0.8290 range top flagged in the macro read
  • A sustained break below the London rising line signals the leg is stalling into the NY open
  • Fed decision Wed 18:00 UTC is the dominant catalyst and could materially shift this read

Asian range broken higher; HH/HL chain from the 0.8232 Asian low.

London broke above the Asian range high at 0.8253 and Friday's high at 0.8255. That extends a higher-low chain from the 0.8232 Asian low to a session high at 0.8263, with RSI(14) near 69. Dip-buying in early Europe tracked the USD rebound after the Monday gap lower, and the 0.8246 swing low sits on the 61.8% fib of the London leg.

Intraday uptrend, momentum slowing at highs · RSI 69 · price 0.82602

Higher-low chain since 06:15 UTC; London broke above the Asian range and Friday's high.

London cleared the Asian range top near 0.8247 and Friday's 0.8256 prior high. It set a 0.8263 session high on a higher-low chain at 0.8236, 0.8246 and 0.8256. The bounce off the 0.8232 Asian low came as safe-haven CHF demand faded on Trump ruling out Iran strikes; RSI(14) near 69 with bar ranges compressing at the high.

Resistance: 0.8263, 0.8270

  • Break of the 0.8246 swing low ends the higher-low chain and the rising support line
  • A close above the 0.8263 session high opens the 0.8270 round number
  • Fib 50% of the Asian low-to-session high leg sits near 0.8247, in line with the swing low
  • FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC and US Durable Goods Tue 12:30 UTC are the next scheduled catalysts; pre-Fed ranges may cap extension

London cleared the Asian high at 0.8253 and Friday's late high near 0.8256, printing a session high at 0.8261. A higher low at 0.8246 held on the 08:00 UTC dip, in line with the early-Europe dollar dip-buying flagged in the digest. RSI(14) is near 64, firm but not stretched.

  • Loss of the 0.8246 higher low breaks the intraday HH/HL chain and exposes the 0.8236 swing low
  • Acceptance above the 0.8261 session high leaves 0.8275, the news-cited resistance, as the next reference
  • No scheduled USD or CHF data in the next 8h. USD tone into Tue Durable Goods and Wed FOMC could shift this read

09:31 UTC

Intraday uptrend, higher highs through London · RSI 64 · price 0.82574

Asian range broken higher, HH/HL chain from 0.8236.

The Sunday gap down to 0.8229 has fully filled. London open broke the Asian high at 0.8253, and the pullback low at 0.8246 held above the trendline before a higher high at the 0.8261 London high, just above Friday's peak. The early-Europe dollar dip-buying noted in the digest matches the move; RSI(14) near 64 is firm but not stretched.

  • Clearing the 0.8261 London high puts the 0.8275 res zone flagged in the digest in view

Monday gap filled; Asian range high and Friday high broken in early Europe.

Monday's gap lower from Friday's 0.8251 close has been filled. Early European trade lifted price out of the 0.8229–0.8253 Asian range and through the 0.8256 Friday high to a 0.8260 session high, off a 0.8236 swing low and a 0.8246 higher low. RSI(14) near 65 is not stretched, and the move tracks the USD dip-buying the digest flags in early Europe.

  • M15 close back below the 0.8256 Friday high would mark the breakout as a false break
  • Loss of the 0.8246 higher low and the higher-low trendline ends the HH/HL sequence; the 0.8236 swing low is next below
  • Hold above the 0.8260 session high puts the 0.8275 news level (cited 0.8275–0.8300 resistance) and the 0.8300 round number in view
  • No scheduled USD/CHF data in the next 8h; Tue Durable Goods and Wed FOMC are the next event risks

Higher highs and higher lows since 05:15 UTC; Asian range broken to the upside.

Two hours into London, the pair cleared the Asian range top near 0.8252 and Friday's high at 0.8256, printing a session high at 0.8261 after a pullback low at 0.8246; RSI(14) near 65 is firm, not stretched. The move reverses the Asian dip to 0.8232, which came as USD softened on Fed-hold positioning, and has retraced the Monday gap lower.

Support: 0.82558, 0.82463, 0.82319

Resistance: 0.82605

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.8256 friday high as support puts the breakout under retest
  • An M15 close below the 0.8246 pullback low breaks the higher-low chain and points back toward the 50–61.8% retracement of the London leg
  • A drop back under the 0.8232 asian low negates the London breakout read
  • Fed decision Wed 18:00 UTC; Tue Durable Goods at 12:30 UTC is the next scheduled USD catalyst

Intraday recovery, stalling below session high · RSI 62 · price 0.82518

Broke above Asian range at London open, rejection at 0.8258, pullback retesting asia high.

London open lifted USDCHF out of the 0.8232–0.8245 Asian range to a session high at 0.8258, briefly clearing Friday's high before a rejection. The pullback held at 0.8246, the asia high, between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the rally from the asia low. Early in the London session the pair trades near 0.8252, above the ~0.8230 Asia dip noted in the digest despite the softer USD tone; RSI(14) is near 62.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.8258 session high clears Friday's high and the rejection, with the 0.8260 round number next above
  • Failure to hold the 0.8246 asia high puts price back inside the Asian range and exposes the 0.8236 swing low on the rising lows line
  • Loss of the 0.8232 asia low breaks the rising lows structure from Asia
  • No scheduled USD or CHF data in the next 8h. The Fed decision on Wed 28 Oct 18:00 UTC is the main event risk this week

London break above Asian range rejected; pullback holding higher-low sequence.

London open lifted USDCHF from the 0.8232 Asian low through the Asian range top and Friday high at 0.8256, but the 0.82576 session high was rejected straight back to 0.8249. The pullback is holding above the 0.82463 pullback low and the rising trendline from the Asian low, with RSI(14) cooling to ~58 as the softer dollar tone into the Fed limits follow-through.

Support: 0.82463, 0.82361, 0.82319

Resistance: 0.82558, 0.82576

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.82576 session high cancels the false-break read
  • Loss of the 0.82463 pullback low exposes the 0.82361 swing low near the 61.8% fib
  • Break of the 0.82319 Asian low ends the higher-low trendline sequence
  • Fed decision Wednesday is the larger risk and could reshape this read once pre-Fed positioning builds

London open broke the Asian high, then a false break and rejection at 0.8258.

Monday's softer-USD gap down to 0.8229 on the easing Iran risk filled in Asia. After the Asian low, the pair built higher lows, and the London open pushed it through the Asian high and Friday's 0.8256 top to a session high at 0.8258. A full-bodied rejection bar then dragged it back to 0.8249, leaving a false break with RSI(14) cooling to about 60.

Intraday up-leg stalling at London open · RSI 60 · price 0.82489

Asian range broken higher, then a failed push above Friday high.

Price filled the weekend gap down early, then sagged to the 0.8232 Asian low as USD softened on easing Iran strike risk. The London open push cleared the 0.8247 Asian high and poked above Friday's 0.8256 high, but the 07:45 UTC bar rejected from the 0.8258 session high. Price now sits just under the 0.8251 Friday close, near the 38.2% fib of the 0.8236–0.8258 leg, with RSI(14) cooling to ~60.

Higher lows off 0.8232 Asian low; London open broke Asian high.

The weekend gap down to 0.8234 filled within the first hour. Asia then faded to the 0.8232 Asian low as the USD softened on lower yields and fading Iran-strike risk. London open broke the 0.8247 Asian high, and price is now testing the 0.8253 session high, just under Friday's high at 0.8256, with RSI(14) near 68.

  • Rejection at 0.8253 and a close back under the 0.8247 asian high would mark a false break of the Asian range
  • A break of the higher-low line and the 0.8236 swing low exposes the 0.8232 asian low
  • No scheduled US or Swiss data in the next 8h; US-Iran headlines are the main shock risk ahead of Wednesday's FOMC

Asian range 0.8232–0.8247, London testing range top.

Monday opened with a 17-pip gap down from Friday's 0.8251 close and filled it to the 0.8253 gap high, then softer USD on lower yields and fading Iran-strike risk pulled price to the Asian low at 0.8232. A higher low at 0.8236 has London open pressing the Asian high at 0.8247, with Friday's high at 0.8256 overhead.

USDCHF gapped about 17 pips lower at the weekly open as the softer USD and fading Iran-strike risk carried over. Asia filled the gap to the 0.8253 Asian high, then faded to a 0.8232 Asian low. Higher lows at 0.8233 and 0.8236 are now pressing against a 0.8245 lower high, a tightening range into the London open with ATR(14) near 3.6 pips and RSI(14) mid-50s.

Asian range 0.8232–0.8245, higher lows since 02:30 UTC.

The weekly open gapped below Friday's 0.8251 close, and USD softness on easing yields and the fading Iran premium dragged the pair to an Asia low at 0.8232. Since then it has printed a higher low at 0.8236 and is capped under the 0.8245 session high into London open. Price sits on EMA20, just below EMA50, and ATR is compressed near 3.5 pips.

Post-gap Asian range 0.8232–0.8253, lower-high sequence.

USD/CHF gapped about 22 pips lower at the weekly open to the 0.8229 gap low as the dollar softened on easing yields and fading Iran haven demand. The open bounced to the 0.8253 Asia high, then printed lower highs at 0.8247 and the 0.8245 lower high. The late-Asia drop from that level stalled at the 0.8236 pullback low, above the 0.8232 swing low, with Friday's 0.8251 close still an unfilled gap ahead of London open.

Higher lows from 0.8232, capped near 61.8% retrace of Asian drop.

The week opened with a gap down from Friday's 0.8251 close. After an early spike to the 0.8253 Asian high, price slid to a 0.8232 swing low as USD softened on easing yields and a fading Iran premium. A steady higher-low grind since has retraced about 61.8% of that drop and is stalling at the 0.8245 swing high late in the Asia session, with price sitting just above EMA50.
