USD/CHF is presenting a high-quality opportunity into the London session as the US dollar remains under pressure and defensive flows continue to support the Swiss franc. The broader backdrop is characterized by elevated headline sensitivity and an ongoing preference for safety and liquidity, which typically reinforces CHF demand during periods of uncertainty. From a price-action perspective, USD/CHF remains technically vulnerable, with rallies struggling to sustain traction and well-defined levels providing a clean framework for risk management. As a result, today’s focus is on executing around key intraday zones with disciplined invalidation, rather than chasing momentum in fast conditions. Pair / Asset Bias & Entries Stop / Invalidation Targets Why A+ (fundamentals, technicals, sentiment) Near-term catalysts (UK time) USD/CHF SHORT – Sell rallies into 0.7995 – 0.8005 (key round/near resistance). If impulsive breakdown: add on <0.7925 retest. 0.8075 (acceptance back above resistance zone). T1 : 0.7928, T2: 0.7847 Fundamentals: USD is soft in a risk-aware environment, while CHF is supported by defensive capital flows and safe-haven demand when uncertainty is elevated. Technicals: Structure remains vulnerable with rallies struggling to hold; price is trading below key resistance with clear levels for a “sell-rallies / breakdown” framework and tight invalidation. Sentiment: Positioning and psychology remain defensive, market participants continue to favor CHF as a hedge, increasing the probability that USD/CHF pops are sold rather than chased. 12th Jan: 08:00: Germany Current Account (Investing.com) 09:30: Eurozone Sentix 14:30: US cash open (headline risk); ongoing Powell/Iran/tariff headlines ( Chart by TradingView – USDCHF Trade Setup -12th Jan Conclusion: The best way to approach USD/CHF today is to stay systematic: prioritize high-probability entries at defined levels, respect the invalidation point, and let the market confirm continuation. Expect volatility to cluster around the European data window and the US cash open, where stop-runs and sharp reversals can occur; plan for this by scaling, keeping risk tight, and avoiding emotional decision-making after sudden spikes. If price maintains the technical structure outlined in the setup, follow-through remains favored and targets should be managed through partials and trailing logic. If invalidation triggers, step aside and reassess, protecting capital is the edge when conditions are headline-driven.
