Lower highs into a flat 0.8192 floor, compressing range.
USD/CHF has printed lower highs from the 0.8395 spike high to this week's 0.8313 lower high. The 0.8192 triple low has held three times since mid-month, compressing price into a narrowing range. The reversal after the Fed hold, with USD heavy on the yield slide, took the pair back to the floor. The bounce has stalled between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the 0.8313–0.8194 drop, beneath the 0.8256 bounce high. Price sits below a flattening EMA20 and EMA50, and ATR(14) has expanded to about 26 pips from the quieter mid-window grind.
Support: 0.8230, 0.8192
Resistance: 0.8256, 0.8313, 0.8395
What it said to watch
- H4 close below the 0.8192 triple low breaks the range floor and confirms a lower-low
- Reclaim of the 0.8256 bounce high (50% fib) shifts focus to the lower-high line near 0.8313
- Loss of the 0.8230 pivot returns price to the range floor
- A close above 0.8313 breaks the lower-high sequence and reopens the 0.8395 spike high
- US ISM Mon 15:00 UTC and Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Range-bound, lower highs over flat floor · RSI 42 · price 0.82453
Lower highs from 0.8395 and 0.8313 against a triple low near 0.8193.
Three weeks of trade show lower highs at 0.8395 and 0.8313 pressing against a flat floor. Demand has held the triple low near 0.8193 three times, most recently after the post-Fed reversal from the 0.8313 swing high as the tech-led yield slide weighed on USD. Price is rebuilding off the 0.8203 pivot low into the 38.2–50% fib zone of that drop, just under the ema20/50 cluster at 0.8255. ATR near 26 pips shows ranges expanding on the downside legs rather than compressing.
Support: 0.8203, 0.8193
Resistance: 0.8255, 0.8297, 0.8313
What it said to watch
- H4 close above the 0.8255 ema20/50 cluster and the 50% fib would shift focus to the 0.8297 breakdown level
- Failure back below the 0.8203 pivot low puts the triple low at 0.8193 under a fourth test; a close beneath it breaks the floor
- Recovery through the 0.8313 swing high would break the lower-high sequence
- ISM Manufacturing Mon 15:00 UTC and Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC could materially shift this read
