Range-bound after mid-month top · RSI 55 · price 0.80869
Capped below 0.8100, grinding off the 0.8010 low.
USDCHF topped near 0.8139 mid-month then flushed to 0.8010 on the weak US NFP fallout, and has since coiled in a 0.8000-0.8100 range with the SNB-at-zero backdrop capping franc strength. Price is recovering along a shallow higher-low path and now presses the 0.8100 cap, where repeated rejections and a false break above 0.8108 sit. ATR(14) has cooled to sub-20 pips, consistent with a compressing range ahead of a catalyst.
Support: 0.8030, 0.8010, 0.8000
Resistance: 0.8100, 0.8139
What it said to watch
- US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC is the dominant catalyst and can break this range either way
- H4 close above 0.8100 invalidates the range read and opens 0.8139
- Failure to hold 0.8000 exposes 0.7982 and 0.7910

Range after pullback, grinding higher · RSI 56 · price 0.80869
Consolidation between 0.8000 and 0.8100.
USDCHF rolled over from the mid-month high at 0.8139 and bottomed at 0.8010, since carving a 0.8050-0.8100 range with a rising sequence of lows. Price has clawed back to 0.8087 near the 61.8% retrace of that decline, with ATR(14) compressed to ~19 pips. USD sits at three-week lows as the Iran-driven safe-haven bid unwinds, leaving the pair hostage to Tuesday's US CPI.
Support: 0.8000, 0.8010
Resistance: 0.8100, 0.8139
What it said to watch
- H4 close above 0.8100 range top opens the path to the 0.8139 swing high
- Failure to hold 0.8000 psych exposes 0.7982 and 0.7910 below
- US CPI Tue 12:30 UTC is the dominant dollar-side catalyst and could reshape this read
