21:02 UTC

Uptrend, breakout extending · RSI 64 · price 0.80036

Higher lows, breaking 0.8000 cap.

Price broke above the 0.8000 barrier that capped twice in early June, the last bar surging ~90 pips on the hawkish FOMC dot-plot lift and hot US retail sales. Higher-low structure has held since the early-month lows near 0.7795, and price now sits above both EMAs with momentum expanding. The 0.8000 round number, previously resistance, is the first level to monitor for a retest.

Support: 0.8000, 0.7950, 0.7910

Resistance: 0.80154, 0.80107

What it said to watch

  • SNB rate decision Thu 07:30 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Failure to hold 0.8000 on a retest negates the breakout
  • H4 close back below 0.7950 reopens the prior range

21:02 UTC

Uptrend resuming after range · RSI 64 · price 0.80036

Broke above multi-week 0.8000 cap.

USDCHF tagged the 0.8000 barrier repeatedly through the last two weeks before the hawkish FOMC repricing under Warsh drove a clean breakout, the final bar pushing to 0.80154 and closing at 0.80036. The prior 0.792-0.800 range had compressed; the last-bar expansion in ATR confirms the breakout impulse. The 0.8000 round number now flips to a retest reference below price.

Support: 0.8000, 0.7920, 0.79099

Resistance: 0.80154, 0.79956

What it said to watch

  • SNB rate decision Thu 07:30 UTC could materially shift this read
  • H4 close back below 0.8000 negates the breakout
  • Failure to hold 0.7920 reopens the prior range low at 0.79099

17:02 UTC

Downtrend, rolling over from 0.8000 · RSI 43 · price 0.79301

Lower highs since the 0.8000 rejection.

USDCHF topped at the 0.8000 barrier and printed a sharp 70-pip rejection candle, since when the pair has carved lower highs and slipped back toward 0.7910. Price trades below both EMA20 and EMA50 and the CHF firmness ties to a fading USD safe-haven bid after US-Iran de-escalation. The structure has rolled over from the early-week high, with demand so far holding the 0.7910 area.

Support: 0.79099, 0.7868

Resistance: 0.7950, 0.8000, 0.80127

What it said to watch

  • SNB rate decision Thu 07:30 UTC and FOMC could materially reshape this read
  • H4 close back above 0.7950 invalidates the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold 0.7910 confirms a deeper lower-low toward the 0.7868 rally base

17:01 UTC

Uptrend stalling, rolling over after 0.8000 rejection · RSI 44 · price 0.79301

Lower highs since the 0.8013 swing high.

USDCHF was capped at the 0.8000 psych barrier with repeated rejections into 0.80127 before a sharp reversal, and price has since carved lower highs back toward the 0.7920 support zone — the franc firmed as US-Iran de-escalation sapped USD safe-haven bid. Price now sits below both EMA20 and EMA50 with ATR(14) around 18 pips, holding inside a multi-day drift lower off the highs. The 0.382 retrace of the 0.7803-0.80127 advance sits right at price.

Support: 0.7920, 0.79099, 0.78769

Resistance: 0.79758, 0.8000, 0.80127

What it said to watch

  • SNB decision Thu 07:30 UTC and FOMC could materially shift this read
  • H4 close below 0.7900 confirms a deeper leg lower
  • Reclaim of 0.7950 and the lower-high at 0.79758 negates the rollover

13:02 UTC

Uptrend stalling, pulling back · RSI 41 · price 0.79279

Rejected at 0.8000, lower highs forming.

Price ran into the 0.8000 barrier repeatedly through last week and was rejected, with the US-Iran peace framework draining the dollar's safe-haven premium and capping the franc cross. Since the 0.80127 high the structure has rolled over into a sequence of lower highs, slipping back toward the 0.7920 support cluster. ATR has compressed back to roughly 18 pips after the 70-pip flush off the top.

Support: 0.7920, 0.7900, 0.7872

Resistance: 0.7950, 0.8000

What it said to watch

  • FOMC decision and dot plot at 18:00 UTC plus SNB Thursday could materially shift this read
  • H4 close below 0.7900 confirms a deeper pullback toward the 0.7872 swing low
  • Reclaim of 0.7950 would neutralise the lower-high sequence

13:02 UTC

Uptrend stalled, rolling over · RSI 41 · price 0.79279

Double top at 0.8000, lower highs forming.

The advance off the early-month 0.7795 lows stalled into the 0.8000 barrier, where repeated rejection carved a double top near 0.80127 before the sharp drop to 0.7942. Price is now rolling over into a sequence of lower highs and sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, testing the 0.7910 swing-low support. The US-Iran peace unwind has kept the franc firm and capped USDCHF upside ahead of the Fed-then-SNB doubleheader.

Support: 0.7910, 0.7900, 0.7872

Resistance: 0.7975, 0.8000, 0.80127

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7900 confirms a lower-low and extends the rollover
  • Reclaim above 0.7975 negates the lower-high sequence
  • FOMC tonight (18:00 UTC) + SNB tomorrow (07:30 UTC) could materially reset this read

09:02 UTC

Rolling over, lower highs · RSI 41 · price 0.79128

Lower highs off 0.8012 peak, testing 0.7900.

USDCHF was rejected repeatedly at the 0.8000 psych barrier and has rolled into a lower-high sequence since the 0.80127 swing high, the pullback now retracing roughly half of the prior February advance. Price has lost both EMAs and is pressing the 0.7900 round number as the US-Iran peace framework drains the dollar's haven premium. ATR(14) has compressed into the high-teens, so the downside drift is orderly rather than impulsive.

Support: 0.7900

Resistance: 0.7960, 0.8000, 0.80127

What it said to watch

  • Fed decision 18:00 UTC today could materially shift this read ahead of the SNB Thursday
  • H4 close below 0.7900 confirms a lower-low extension
  • Reclaim of 0.7960 needed to challenge the lower-high structure

09:02 UTC

Downtrend, pullback from 0.8000 · RSI 39 · price 0.79128

Lower highs, lower lows below 0.8000.

USD/CHF rolled over after repeated rejection at the 0.8000 psych level, carving lower highs and lower lows over the past week back toward 0.7910. The decline has retraced roughly half the 0.7803-0.8013 advance, with price now trading below both EMA20 and EMA50. The US-Iran peace framework draining USD haven demand has kept the franc firm into the Fed-SNB doubleheader.

Support: 0.79099, 0.7877

Resistance: 0.8000, 0.7975

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7900 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
  • Reclaim of the 0.7975 lower high needed to neutralise the downside structure
  • FOMC (18:00 UTC) and SNB Thursday could materially shift this read

05:02 UTC

Rolling over after 0.8000 rejection · RSI 41 · price 0.79243

Lower highs off the 0.80127 swing high.

USDCHF rolled over after repeated rejection at the 0.8000 round number, carving lower highs over the past week off the 0.80127 swing high. Price has slipped back under both EMA20 and EMA50, with the soft US data run and stretched CHF longs framing the pullback. A sustained move under the 0.7920 swing low would expose the 0.7905 h&s neckline.

Support: 0.7920, 0.7905

Resistance: 0.7960, 0.8000

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7920 opens the path toward the 0.7905 neckline
  • Reclaim of 0.7960 lower-high neutralises the rolling-over read
  • SNB decision Thu 07:30 UTC and FOMC could materially shift this read

05:01 UTC

Uptrend rolling over, momentum fading · RSI 40 · price 0.79243

Lower highs since 0.8013, neckline pressured.

USDCHF topped near 0.8013 and rolled over after the 0.8000 rejection, carving a head-and-shoulders with a 0.7920-0.7930 neckline that price is now testing. Structure has printed lower highs since the peak, with both EMA20 and EMA50 now capping price overhead. The franc firmed as the US-Iran framework drained the dollar's safe-haven bid.

Support: 0.7920, 0.7900

Resistance: 0.7959, 0.8000, 0.8013

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7920 confirms neckline break, opening 0.7900
  • Reclaim of 0.7959 negates the head-and-shoulders read
  • SNB decision 07:30 UTC and FOMC dot-plot could materially shift this read

01:02 UTC

Uptrend stalling, rolling over · RSI 42 · price 0.79319

Topped near 0.8010, lower highs forming.

The multi-day rally peaked into a double top around 0.8010-0.8013 before a sharp rejection candle dragged price back into the 0.7900-0.7960 band, with lower highs now stacking under 0.7960. Price trades below both EMA20 and EMA50 as the prior up-leg corrects, with the 0.7900-0.7930 cluster (the H&S neckline flagged in the macro read) acting as the floor. ATR has compressed, leaving the pair coiling above support ahead of the FOMC decision.

Support: 0.7920, 0.7900, 0.7880

Resistance: 0.7960, 0.7980, 0.8010

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7900 breaks the neckline and opens fresh downside
  • Reclaim of 0.7960 reasserts the prior higher-high structure
  • FOMC decision 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

01:02 UTC

Rolling over, momentum slowing · RSI 43 · price 0.79319

Lower highs since the 0.8012 peak.

Price rolled over after the 0.8012 peak and is carving lower highs, with a head-and-shoulders shape now resting on the 0.7920-0.7930 neckline cluster flagged into the Fed. The rally off 0.7872 has retraced toward the 50-61.8% zone and momentum has cooled, with ATR(14) compressing back near 19 pips. Both EMAs sit above spot, consistent with the near-term rollover.

Support: 0.7922, 0.7900

Resistance: 0.7959, 0.8012

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 0.7920 confirms the H&S neckline break and opens fresh downside
  • Reclaim of 0.7959 negates the lower-high sequence
  • FOMC 18:00 UTC and SNB Thu could materially shift this read
