The USDCHF maintains a sellers’ bias with resistance at 0.7994. Further movement downwards depends on a successful breakthrough of the 0.7938–0.7947 area.
Yesterday, the USDCHF found support near the swing area between 0.79104 and 0.79209, leading to a bounce. This carried the price above last Friday’s low of 0.79556, closing the session near the highs.
Trading Shows Volatility
Today, trading has shown volatility during Asian and early European sessions. The pair reached new session highs, testing a resistance point before sellers pushed it lower. A softer U.S. PPI data led to a sharp drop through last Friday’s low but saw momentum fade, with the pair subsequently rebounding.
Technically, sellers maintain control with the price below the 100-hour moving average, currently at 0.7982. Swing resistance is up to 0.7994, which includes the 50% of the move down from last week’s high. Breaking through the 0.7938–0.7947 area and last week’s low is necessary for further downward progress.

Sellers Are Favored
We see that sellers are currently favored, but they have not yet secured a decisive victory. Derivative traders should view the resistance around 0.7994 as a potential ceiling for selling call options or establishing bearish positions. The real test, however, is whether the pair can break the support zone between 0.7938 and 0.7947.
The recent downward pressure is supported by fundamental data released today, September 10, 2025. The U.S. Producer Price Index for August unexpectedly fell by 0.1%, against forecasts of a 0.2% increase, signaling weakening inflation. This lessens the pressure on the Federal Reserve to be aggressive with monetary policy.
This soft inflation print has shifted market expectations for the upcoming Fed meeting on September 17, 2025. We have seen fed funds futures pricing adjust, now indicating a 75% probability that the central bank will hold rates steady. This is a significant jump from the 50% chance priced in just last week.
Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank remains vigilant against inflation, which, according to the latest figures from August 2025, is holding at 1.9%. This policy divergence, with a potentially pausing Fed and a firm SNB, strengthens the fundamental case for a weaker USDCHF. We believe this macro environment supports a continued bearish bias on the pair.
For the coming weeks, buying put options with a strike price below 0.7930 could offer a limited-risk way to profit from a breakdown. Traders could use a clean break and close below the 0.7938 support level as a trigger to enter new short positions. The choppiness suggests that any positions should be managed carefully until a clear trend is established.
Looking back, we saw a similar technical and fundamental setup in the first quarter of 2024. After U.S. economic data began to soften, the USDCHF pair broke a key support level and proceeded to fall over 250 pips in the following month. This historical precedent suggests that a break of the current support could lead to a sustained downward move.
