Fundamental Drivers

Swissie trading in downtrend despite safe-haven status, as USD strength (DXY +0.30%) dominates. SECO Consumer Climate improvement minimal. US 10-Year Note Auction (1 PM EST, High Impact) critical - strong demand likely strengthens USD, pressuring pair lower toward 0.7900. Technical rating bearish.

  • Impact: USD strength = downside continuation
  • Action: Avoid entries 15 min before/after 1 PM EST

Momentum View

"Markdown phase favors shorts from 0.7980-0.8000 resistance, targeting 0.7900 demand. IF US Auction strong β†’ probable test of 0.7900 with possible break to 0.7870. Bearish technical rating + USD strength suggest downside continuation despite CHF safe-haven status."
