Higher highs into 0.8000, sharp pullback off the high.
USDCHF ground higher for two weeks on a firm USD and soft Swiss backdrop, tagging the 0.8000 psych barrier and a 0.80127 high before a sharp rejection dropped price to 0.79417 in a single bar. Buyers stepped back in off that low and price is consolidating near 0.7970, holding well above the 200-day pivot around 0.7903. The broader sequence of higher lows remains intact but momentum has stalled below the 0.8000 round number.

- Loss of 0.79417 swing low breaks the higher-low structure
