Lower high capped, recovery off week low.
USDCHF sold off through Monday's NY session into a week low at 0.7808 before basing twice near 0.7815-0.7825, a double bottom that produced an RSI divergence. Price has since reclaimed EMA(20) and pushed back to 0.7864 in yesterday's NY session, with the late-Asia session drifting at 0.7856. Resistance at the prior high 0.7864 has now capped two attempts.

Lower highs into 0.7810 base, recovery off 0.7808.
USDCHF has trended lower since Wednesday's NY session, sliding from 0.7904 to a week low at 0.7808 before basing. Two probes of 0.7808 held and price has clawed back above EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI lifting off oversold — a tentative double bottom is in play but supply at 0.7864 still caps. The Sunday-open bar at 0.7856 sits mid-range with momentum neutral.

Downtrend, attempting base · RSI 52 · price 0.78565
Lower-high sequence, sideways near week low.
USDCHF spent the early week capped at 0.78890 then broke down through 0.78463 into Friday's NY session, printing a swing low at 0.78080. Price has since recovered above EMA(20) and EMA(50), with a higher-low base building near 0.78380 and resistance reasserting at the 0.78645 session high. RSI(14) has cycled back to neutral around 52 after rebounding from oversold, leaving the H1 read as a downtrend stabilising rather than reversing.
Support: 0.7838, 0.7808
Resistance: 0.78645, 0.7889
What it said to watch
Hourly close above 0.78645 session high opens path back to the 0.78890 prior high
Loss of 0.78380 week low reopens the 0.78080 swing low
RSI failure to clear 60 on next push would reinforce the lower-high sequence
Price carved a base near 0.7808–0.7815 over the Asian session before NY drove a recovery leg back above EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) lifting into the low 60s. Week high at 0.79041 still caps the broader picture from last Wednesday's NY session, but the rebound off the week low at 0.78427 has reclaimed the prior congestion shelf. Session high at 0.78645 is the immediate pivot.
Support: 0.78427, 0.7808, 0.7825
Resistance: 0.78645, 0.7876, 0.79041
What it said to watch
H1 close above 0.78645 opens path back toward prior-day high 0.78760
Rejection at session high and loss of 0.78427 would re-expose the swing low at 0.78080
Middle East headlines (Lebanon, Hormuz) remain a CHF wildcard
Pair sold off from the 0.7904 week high through Wednesday's NY session and based around 0.7808–0.7816 into early this week before mounting a steady recovery through the London-NY transition. Price now sits above both EMAs at 0.7860 with RSI(14) at 62, retesting the prior shelf around 0.7864 that capped action before last week's break lower. Recovery is structural but still inside the broader downtrend off 0.7904.

Lower highs early week, base around 0.7810 reclaiming mid-range.
USDCHF spent the week grinding lower from the 0.79041 week high into a 0.7808 base, with the sharpest leg into Friday's NY session. Since Monday's open the pair has carved a double bottom near 0.7810 and reclaimed both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with NY today extending through 0.78540 toward the 0.78645 session high. RSI(14) at 64 reflects the recovery impulse but is approaching stretched territory into the prior shelf at 0.78800.

Lower highs into 0.7808 low, corrective bounce underway.
Week opened firm and pushed to 0.79041 last Thursday before a sharp leg lower carved a week low at 0.78080 in the Asia-London handover. Price has built a double bottom around 0.7810-0.7825 and reclaimed both EMAs through the NY session, with RSI(14) at 64 confirming the recovery. The 0.78645 session high is the immediate ceiling capping the bounce.

Lower-high attempt off Monday low.
USDCHF carved a week low at 0.78427 in Friday's NY session, gapped lower into Monday's spike low at 0.78189, then based through Asia before climbing back through EMA(20) and EMA(50) on the NY session push. Price now testing the session high at 0.78584 with RSI(14) at 62 — recovery rally underway after the geopolitical-driven USD bid noted in the CHF weakness headline. Structure is still a lower-high sequence from the 0.78908 week high until proven otherwise.

Lower highs into 0.7808 low, corrective bounce underway.
USDCHF carved a week low at 0.7808 during Monday's NY session, then printed a near-equal low Tuesday to form a double bottom before rallying back through EMA20 and EMA50. The bounce gained traction in today's NY session on renewed US-Iran headlines supporting the dollar, with RSI(14) cycling up to 58 and price now testing the session high at 0.78584. Structure remains a downtrend off last week's 0.7904 high, but the recovery has reclaimed both short-term moving averages.
