Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.8052 low; broke above the 0.8298 prior-high cap.
Higher-low structure has held since the early-month 0.8052 low. The pullback to 0.8183 was bought, and the week-long cap at the 0.8298 prior high gave way after the dovish SNB hold. Hawkish Fed repricing pushed the pair to a 16m high at 0.8358, though the latest bar faded off that high. Price is above both EMAs with EMA20 over EMA50, ATR(14) is expanding near 19.5 pips, and swing-low support sits at 0.8325.
Support: 0.8325, 0.8298, 0.8250
Resistance: 0.8358, 0.8400
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.8298 prior high would mark a failed breakout and bring the 50% fib near 0.8271 into view
Loss of the hl trendline near 0.8250 (61.8% fib area) would break the higher-low sequence
Close above the 0.8358 16m high opens the path toward the 0.8400 round number
US ADP and core PCE on Wed Sep 30 could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI on Thu Oct 1 at 06:30 UTC; a soft print would test whether 0.8325 swing low support holds

Uptrend, stretched near window high · RSI 76 · price 0.83467
Higher highs / higher lows since 0.8052; range 0.8264–0.8300 broken to the upside.
Higher highs and higher lows have held since the 0.8052 early-month low, with the latest swing low at 0.8183 and EMA20 riding above EMA50. The dovish SNB hold and hawkish Fed repricing fuelled a break above the 0.8264–0.8300 range, and the Monday dip held just above the range top at 0.8304. Price is now pressing the 0.8352 window high with RSI overbought near 76, while ATR(14) holds steady around 19 pips rather than expanding.
Support: 0.8300, 0.8264, 0.8248
Resistance: 0.8352, 0.8400
What it said to watch
Close back below the 0.8300 range top would put the breakout at risk and reopen the 0.8264 range floor
Break of the rising support trendline from 0.8183 would end the steep leg higher; the 61.8% fib at 0.8248 sits below it
Hold above the 0.8352 window high keeps the 0.8400 round number in view
US ADP and core PCE (Wed) plus Swiss CPI (Thu 06:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

Uptrend, extending to new highs · RSI 69 · price 0.83314
Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.8052 low.
USDCHF has set higher highs and higher lows through the window, from 0.8052 to a 0.8350 swing high. The latest leg off the 0.8183 low extended after the SNB's dovish tweak to its intervention language, against rising Fed hike pricing. Price has cleared the 0.8298 prior high and the 0.8327 breakout lvl with EMA20 above EMA50, while ATR(14) near 18 pips shows steady expansion and RSI near 69 sits just under overbought.
Support: 0.8327, 0.8298, 0.8247
Resistance: 0.8350, 0.8400
What it said to watch
An H4 close back below the 0.8327 breakout lvl would turn the push through 0.8340 into a false break
Failure to hold the 0.8298 prior high exposes the 0.8247 fib 61.8, which lines up with the higher-low line
Acceptance above the 0.8350 swing high opens the path to the 0.8400 round number
US JOLTS today, ADP on Wednesday and Swiss CPI on Oct 1 06:30 UTC could materially shift this read
Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.8183 swing low.
Higher-low structure has held since the 0.8183 impulse low, with successive swing lows at 0.8229, 0.8271 and the 0.8304 swing low. Price is pressing the 0.8340 16m high, driven by the dovish SNB hold and hawkish Fed repricing. EMA20 sits above EMA50 and price trades above both. RSI in the low 70s and ATR(14) near 18 pips show a steady, stretched advance rather than a spike.
Support: 0.8304, 0.8271, 0.8183
Resistance: 0.8340, 0.8400
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.8304 swing low and the rising trendline breaks the higher-low sequence and puts the 0.8271 prior low in view
Sustained acceptance above the 0.8340 16m high opens the path toward 0.8400 psych
JOLTS at 14:00 UTC and Fedspeak into Waller at 19:00 UTC today could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI on Oct 1 at 06:30 UTC, then US PCE and NFP later in the week, are the next event risks for the pair
A failure back under 0.8300 would signal a rejection at the 16m high
A deeper pullback toward the 0.8183 impulse low would retrace most of the late-September advance

Uptrend, extended at cycle high · RSI 73 · price 0.83292
Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.8052 early-month low.
USDCHF has built higher lows since the 0.8052 early-month base (0.8067, 0.8153, 0.8183). The dovish SNB hold on Thursday and the rise in US yields drove the break through the 0.8298 prior high into a 16-month cycle high near 0.8330. EMA20 sits above EMA50 with price above both. RSI is overbought, but ATR(14) near 18 pips shows a steady grind rather than an expanding impulse.
Support: 0.8298, 0.8271, 0.8257
Resistance: 0.8330
What it said to watch
An H4 close back below the 0.8298 prior high would turn the breakout into a false break
A pullback that holds the fib 38.2 at 0.8271 keeps the higher-low sequence intact; a loss of the fib 50% at 0.8257 undercuts it
Acceptance above the 0.8330 cycle high extends the trend leg; repeated stalls there form a cap
JOLTS today, ADP Wed and Swiss CPI Thu 06:30 UTC could materially shift this read
A break of the higher lows trendline would signal a deeper correction

Uptrend, stretched near highs · RSI 75 · price 0.83205
Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.8067 base; breakout above 0.8300.
USDCHF has built higher lows since the mid-month 0.8067 base. Thursday's dovish SNB hold drove the pair through the 0.8264 prior high, and it is now holding just under a fresh 16m high at 0.8328 after clearing the 0.8300 round number. ATR(14) near 18 pips is steady rather than expanding, and RSI in the mid-70s marks the pair as overbought in the 0.8305–0.8330 area flagged as a cap.
Support: 0.8300, 0.8271, 0.8264
Resistance: 0.83275, 0.8400
What it said to watch
H4 close back below the 0.8300 round number would turn this breakout into a false break
Failure to hold the 0.8271 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.8264 prior high near the 50% fib retracement
Sustained trade above the 0.8328 16m high opens room toward the 0.8400 psych level
A break of the higher-lows trendline from 0.8067 would mark the first multi-week structural damage
Swiss CPI Thu 06:30 UTC and US JOLTS, ADP, Core PCE and NFP this week could materially shift this read; quarter-end flows Sep 30 add two-way risk
