Days with a reportAnalysis
USDCHF has fallen from the October 14 high near 0.8395 to 0.8238, down about 2.2% in two days, now sitting on a major support cluster: the H1 pivot S1 (0.823727), H4/D1 pivot S1 (0.82375) and the weekly derived D1 pivot S2 (0.823407) converge between 0.8234 and 0.8238. H4 confirms the downtrend: Supertrend flipped bearish below 0.831276, RSI-14 is 35.49, and MACD is negative and widening (-0.00194 vs -0.00115 signal). Price sits just under the H4 EMA200 (0.824812). H1 and M5 Supertrend readings are also bearish. The daily chart stays above EMA200 (0.807116), keeping the longer uptrend intact, while M15 Stochastic (9.61/8.50) is deeply oversold.

⚠ Watch out for
The setup is invalidated if USDCHF reclaims 0.8252 or higher, back inside the broken H1/H4 resistance band, signaling the 0.8237 to 0.8238 support cluster has held. Watch US Housing Starts and Building Permits on October 20 at 12:30 UTC, and the high impact EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change on October 21 at 14:30 UTC, both able to shift dollar sentiment quickly. Swiss franc haven flows tied to ongoing government shutdown headlines add extra volatility risk in either direction.
