Uptrend, consolidating near week high · RSI 57 · price 0.82969
Impulse from 0.8183 then 0.8264–0.8298 range.
USD/CHF ran from Tuesday's 0.8183 low to the 0.8298 week high, with the sharpest leg on Thursday as the dovish SNB hold weakened the franc and a single hour cleared 0.8229–0.8279. Since then H1 has held a 0.8264–0.8298 band between the thu low and the week high, and Friday's low at 0.8271 aligns with the 23.6% fib of the weekly impulse. Monday's small gap lower held the rising range base, and price has since returned to the week high. RSI(14) near 57 sits well below Thursday's overbought push, and price is back above the ema20.
Support: 0.8289, 0.8271, 0.8264
Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8305, 0.8330
What it said to watch
H1 close above the 0.8298 week high takes price into the 0.8305–0.8330 cap zone cited by UOB, with the cap top at 0.8330
Failure to hold the friday low at 0.8271 and the range base shifts focus to the thu low at 0.8264 and the 38.2% fib near 0.8254
Repeated closes below the ema20 at 0.8289 would weaken the grind back to the week high
Tue JOLTS and Fed speakers, then Wed ADP (12:15 UTC) and PCE (12:30 UTC), could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI Thu 06:30 UTC is a CHF-side risk to the range
The week's impulse ran from Tuesday's London-session low at 0.8183 to 0.8298. The decisive leg came at Thursday's London open, when the dovish SNB hold drove a 50-pip bar through 0.8260. Since then price has held a tight 0.8264–0.8298 consolidation. The Friday low at 0.8271 sits on the 23.6% retracement of that impulse, and RSI(14) has cooled to the mid-50s. Sunday's open gapped slightly lower to the weekly open near 0.8278, then recovered back above EMA(20) toward 0.8290.
Support: 0.8278, 0.8271, 0.8264
Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8330
What it said to watch
H1 close above the 0.8298 range top opens the path toward the 0.8305–0.8330 upper cap
Loss of the friday low at 0.8271 and the thu low at 0.8264 would break the consolidation and expose the 38.2% retrace of the week's impulse near 0.8254
A slip back below the weekly open at 0.8278 would leave the Sunday gap unfilled and put price under EMA(20) again
Tue JOLTS and Fed speakers, then Wed ADP/PCE (12:15–12:30 UTC), could materially shift this read
Swiss CPI Thu 06:30 UTC is a CHF-side risk to the consolidation
Higher lows since Tuesday, Friday consolidation under week high.
USD/CHF has built higher lows since Tuesday's 0.8183 swing low. The decisive leg came at Thursday's London open, when the dovish SNB hold lifted price through the Wed high at 0.8260 and on to 0.8296. Friday compressed into a 27-pip consolidation between the Friday low at 0.8271 and the week high at 0.8298, with price pinned to EMA(20) near 0.8285 and RSI(14) back near 51 after failing to confirm the marginal new high. Supply has capped each approach to 0.8300, just beneath the 0.8305–0.8330 cap zone flagged in the macro read.
Support: 0.8285, 0.8271, 0.8260
Resistance: 0.8298, 0.8305
What it said to watch
H1 close above the 0.8298 week high clears 0.8300 and opens the 0.8305–0.8330 cap zone
Break of the 0.8271 Friday low and the higher-low line near 0.8262 would expose the Wed high at 0.8260 and the 38.2% fib of the week's leg at 0.8254
Wed ADP (f/c 70K) and PCE MoM (f/c 0.4%) can materially shift this read; Tue JOLTS and Thu Swiss CPI add event risk
