Downtrend, early bounce off lows · RSI 42 · price 0.82081
Lower highs and lower lows since the 0.8313 swing high.
USDCHF has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 0.8313 swing high. The 0.8255 lower high capped the late-October bounce, and the drop then broke the 0.8192 broken base to a 0.8149 swing low, where a long lower wick showed demand stepping in. CHF strength followed the hot Swiss CPI beat (1.5% y/y), and the rebound is now pressing the 38.2% fib at 0.8212 just above EMA20, with both EMAs still overhead and ATR(14) near 24 pips, steady rather than compressing.
Support: 0.8192, 0.8178, 0.8149
Resistance: 0.8212, 0.8255, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 38.2% fib at 0.8212 opens the 50% retrace near 0.8231 and the 0.8255 lower high
H4 close above 0.8255 breaks the lower-high sequence and invalidates the downtrend read
Failure back below the 0.8192 broken base and the 0.8178 prior lows reopens the 0.8149 swing low
US midterm results overnight plus ADP/ISM Services Wed could materially shift the USD leg
SNB Schlegel speech Thu 13:30 UTC, first reaction to the CPI beat, is the key CHF risk

Downtrend, rebounding off new low · RSI 44 · price 0.82076
Lower highs from 0.8313; new low at 0.8149 reclaimed.
USDCHF has printed lower highs since the 0.8313 swing high, with the 0.8255 lower high capping the late-October bounce. The hot Swiss October CPI (1.5% y/y) drove this week's break of the 0.8192 prior lows floor to a 0.8149 swing low. Price has since reclaimed that floor, a false break for now, and is pressing the fib 38.2% retracement near 0.8212, just under the EMA20 and below a still-declining EMA50. ATR(14) near 25 pips is elevated against the pre-drop range, so swings remain wide.
Support: 0.8192, 0.8149
Resistance: 0.8212, 0.8255, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close back below the 0.8192 prior lows negates the false break and reopens the 0.8149 swing low
Acceptance above the fib 38.2% at 0.8212 opens the 50% retracement near 0.8231 and the 0.8255 lower high
A close above the 0.8255 lower high breaks the descending sequence from the 0.8313 swing high
US midterm results overnight, then ADP and ISM Services Wed, could shift the USD leg of this read
SNB Chair Schlegel's speech, Thu 13:30 UTC, is the first SNB reaction to the CPI beat and a risk to the CHF leg
Lower highs from 0.8313; 0.8192 base broken, now retested.
Since the 0.8313 swing high the pair has printed lower highs at 0.8256 and 0.8254. EMA20 has crossed below EMA50 and sits overhead. The hot Swiss CPI drove a break of the 0.8192 prior lows, which had held twice, and price ran to a 0.8149 swing low before snapping back to retest that broken floor from just above. ATR(14) near 25 pips is moderate, not compressed. The 38.2% fib of the 0.8313-0.8149 leg at 0.8212 is the first cap above, with a minor base at 0.8178 forming beneath.
Support: 0.8192, 0.8178, 0.8149
Resistance: 0.8212, 0.8255, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 closes holding above the 0.8192 prior lows and through the 38.2% fib at 0.8212 would mark the dip to 0.8149 as a false break
Failure back below the 0.8178 minor base reopens the 0.8149 swing low
A close above the 0.8255 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence from the 0.8313 swing high
US midterm results from ~23:00 UTC tonight and SNB's Schlegel on Thu 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read
Lower high at 0.8256 after the 0.8313 peak; broke the 0.8192 multi-week floor.
USDCHF has carved lower highs since the 0.8313 swing high ahead of the Fed. The lower high at 0.8256 gave way to a break of the 0.8192 prior low, which had held twice earlier in the window, and price has extended to a 0.8149 swing low. The move tracks the soft USD and the CHF bid after the hottest Swiss CPI in over two years. Price sits below a bearish-crossed EMA20/EMA50 with RSI in oversold territory, and ATR has expanded on the downswing, so the leg remains extended rather than compressing; the 38.2% fib of the 0.8313-0.8149 drop sits near 0.8212.
Support: 0.8149, 0.8140
Resistance: 0.8192, 0.8256, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close back above the 0.8192 prior low would turn the range break into a false break
Failure to hold the 0.8149 swing low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.8140 uob target
A recovery through the 0.8256 lower high and the lower highs trendline invalidates the downtrend read
US midterm results Wed and SNB Schlegel Thu 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read; JOLTS today adds USD-side risk
Range floor broken; lower high at 0.8256, new low at 0.8176.
The pre-Fed run to the 0.8313 swing high failed. Price then printed a lower high at 0.8256 and broke beneath the 0.8190-0.8194 prior floor, which had held three times in the window, setting a new low at 0.8176. Price sits below both EMAs with EMA20 under EMA50. ATR(14) near 26 pips has picked up on the break. Broad USD softness is driving the move, as falling oil erodes December hike pricing and recent US inflation prints came in mildly dovish.
Support: 0.81761
Resistance: 0.8192, 0.82556, 0.8313
What it said to watch
Swiss CPI at 07:30 UTC (f/c 1.3% YoY, 0% MoM) could materially shift this read: a hot print adds pressure below the new low
H4 close back above the 0.8192 prior floor would turn the range break into a false break
Failure to hold 0.8176 extends the lower-low sequence beyond the window's range
A recovery through the 0.8256 lower high, near the fib 61.8% of the 0.8313-0.8176 leg, negates the lower-high structure
Midterm results, JOLTS (Tue) and NFP (Fri) are USD risk events that could reverse the dollar leg
Lower highs since the 0.8313 swing high; prior 0.8192 base broken.
The rally to the 0.8313 swing high met rejection below the 0.8320 area after the FOMC, and the pair has since printed lower highs, the latest at 0.8256 near the 61.8% retracement. That sequence carried price through the 0.8192 monthly low to a 0.8176 swing low as a soft USD and a firmer CHF fed the move. Price now sits just back above the monthly low but below the ema20 and EMA50, with ATR near 24 pips and no sign of compression.
Support: 0.8192, 0.8176
Resistance: 0.8215, 0.8256, 0.8313
What it said to watch
H4 close back below the 0.8176 swing low extends the lower-low sequence
Recovery above the ema20 near 0.8215 and the 38.2% fib at 0.8228 would test the lower high at 0.8256
Swiss CPI at 07:30 UTC today could materially shift this read
US midterm results and JOLTS at 15:00 UTC carry USD event risk into the next bars
Reclaiming the 0.8313 swing high would invalidate the lower-high structure
