Downtrend, extending to new window lows · RSI 31 · price 0.81817
Lower highs from 0.8313; monthly low zone broken.
USDCHF has carved lower highs since the post-Fed failure at the 0.8313 swing high, with the 0.8255 lower high capping two rebound attempts. Price has now closed below the 0.8190–0.8193 monthly low zone and printed a window low at 0.81794 as the dollar stays on the back foot into the midterms. Price sits below both EMAs, EMA20 has rolled under EMA50, and ATR(14) near 27 pips shows the selling range expanding, not compressing.
Support: 0.81794, 0.8150
Resistance: 0.8192, 0.8255, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 closes back above the 0.8192 monthly low would flag the break as a false break
Sustained trade below the 0.81794 window low leaves the 0.8150 round number as the next reference
A recovery through the 0.8255 lower high and the descending trendline would break the lower-high sequence
Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC (f/c 1.3% y/y) could materially shift this read
US midterm results overnight Tue into Wed, plus JOLTS Tue, are the main USD-side risk
Lower high at 0.8256 below the 0.8313 swing high; third test of the 0.8188-0.8192 floor.
USD/CHF has fully retraced the 0.8192-0.8313 rally after the post-FOMC reversal. The softer USD on Warsh's patient Fed tone drove the slide. A lower high at 0.8256, near the 50% fib of the drop, capped the rebound, and price is back on the 0.8188-0.8192 monthly low for a third test in the window. EMA20 has crossed below EMA50 with price under both, and the ema20 near 0.8225 is capping bounces; ATR(14) around 27 pips is moderate rather than compressing.
Support: 0.8188
Resistance: 0.8225, 0.8256, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.8188 monthly low extends the lower-low sequence
Recovery above the 0.8256 lower high, the 50% fib, negates the downtrend read and puts the 0.8313 swing high back in focus
Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC (f/c 1.3% y/y) could materially shift this read at the monthly low
US midterm results overnight Tue and NFP Fri are two-way USD risk

Downtrend inside a broader range, pressing the floor · RSI 41 · price 0.82026
Lower high at 0.8256 after the 0.8313 range high; fourth test of the 0.8189-0.8194 range floor.
The rally from the 0.8192 base topped at the 0.8313 range high before the Fed. It then fully unwound after the hold was read as less hawkish than expected and the USD softened, carrying price back to the 0.8189 range floor for a fourth test this month. The rebound stalled at a lower high near 0.8256, and price now trades below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). ATR(14) near 25 pips points to a steady rather than expanding regime as the floor comes back into play.
Support: 0.8189
Resistance: 0.8256, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.8189 range floor would break the multi-week range and confirm the post-Fed slide is extending
Recovery above the 0.8256 lower high would shift the read back to range-bound rotation toward the 0.8313 range high
ISM Manufacturing at 15:00 UTC today and Goolsbee at 16:15 UTC are USD-side catalysts for a test of the floor
Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC (f/c 1.3% YoY): a hot print adds pressure on the range floor
US midterm results Tue-Wed could materially shift this read

Range-bound, lower high after failed rally · RSI 46 · price 0.82234
0.8192–0.8313 range; lower high at 0.8256 below the 0.8313 swing high.
The late-October rally to the 0.8313 swing high reversed after the Fed pause. Easing Middle East tensions drained the dollar's safe-haven and oil premium, sending price back to the 0.8192 monthly low area, which has now held on three separate tests. The rebound from there stalled at a lower high near 0.8256, close to the 50% retracement of the drop. Price is now drifting back toward the 0.8203 swing low, with EMA20 below EMA50 and ATR(14) easing from last week's expansion.
Support: 0.8203, 0.8192
Resistance: 0.8256, 0.8297, 0.8313
What it said to watch
Failure to hold the 0.8192 monthly low breaks the three-week range floor and extends the lower-high sequence
H4 close above the 0.8256 lower high reopens the 0.8297 breakdown area and the 0.8313 swing high
US ISM Manufacturing at 15:00 UTC today could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 UTC could materially shift this read
Loss of the 0.8203 swing low puts the monthly-low floor back under test

Range-bound, recovering from range floor · RSI 44 · price 0.82427
0.8192–0.8313 range; double bottom at the floor, rebound stalling near 50% fib.
The Fed's hawkish hold lifted the pair to a 0.8313 range high. Easing Middle East tensions, pared hike bets and Friday's tech-led drop in yields then reversed the whole move back to 0.8194, forming a double bottom against the 0.8192 low from earlier in the window. The rebound has printed a higher low at 0.8231 but is stalling under the 50% fib near 0.8256, with price below both EMA20 and EMA50. ATR(14) has compressed to about 24 pips from mid-30s during the selloff, consistent with the pair coiling inside the range.
Support: 0.8231, 0.8193
Resistance: 0.8256, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 50% fib at 0.8256 opens the 0.8290–0.8313 range high
Loss of the 0.8231 higher low puts the 0.8193 double bottom back in play; a close below it confirms a range break lower
US ISM Manufacturing (Mon 15:00 UTC) and Tuesday's midterms could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 GMT (f/c 1.3% y/y): an upside surprise would pressure the double bottom
02:03 UTC
Range-bound, rebounding off floor · RSI 47 · price 0.82466
0.8192-0.8313 range; lower highs since 0.8313 peak.
The post-FOMC dollar pullback, as tech-driven yield losses hit USD, erased the late-October leg to the 0.8313 swing high. That drop retested the 0.8192 range floor, which has now held three times in three weeks. The rebound has stalled at the 50% fib near 0.8255 after a 0.8297 lower high, with price above EMA20 but still below EMA50. ATR near 27 pips stays elevated after the sharp sell-off, with no sign of compression yet.
Support: 0.8239, 0.8203, 0.8192
Resistance: 0.8255, 0.8297, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 0.8192 range floor and the 0.8203 swing low confirms a range break lower
Failure to hold the 38.2% fib at 0.8239 puts the range floor back in play
Close above the 50% fib at 0.8255 and the 0.8297 lower high reopens the 0.8313 swing high
US ISM Manufacturing Mon 15:00 UTC and Swiss CPI Tue 07:30 GMT could materially shift this read
