USD/CHF Elliott Wave analysis shows fresh sell-off from bluebox

. Welcome to a new blog post where we discuss recent trade setups from the blue box to the Elliottwave-forecast members. In this one, the spotlight will be on the USDCHF currency pair. 

The USDCHF currency pair remains clearly bearish. This trend is driven by dollar weakness since September 2022 and more recently January 2025. When analyzing this pair, we focus heavily on the dollar. The dollar has been in a bearish cycle since September 2022. It follows a clear A-B-C corrective structure. Wave C of this 3-swing pullback began in January 2025.

Since it is a simple zigzag, wave C has unfolded as an impulse. However, the September 2022 cycle has not yet reached its target zone. Moreover, all bounces so far have been corrective. Therefore, we continue to favor a “sell the bounce” strategy. This approach has delivered strong profits across dollar pairs, including USDCHF.

For USDCHF specifically, the bearish cycles began in October 2022 and January 2025. Since January, we have sold bounces at the extremes of 3, 7, or 11 swings. We highlight these extreme zones with blue boxes on our charts. For example, there was a clean 7-swing corrective bounce from July 1, 2025. When that bounce matured, we marked the blue box zone for selling. This setup was shared with members on August 9, 2025. From the August blue box, USDCHF fell over 330 pips. We wrote about it; read here. It even broke below the July low where the bounce started. As a result, we prepared for another corrective bounce to sell from.

USD/CHF Elliott Wave setup: 9.21.2025 update

Shortly after the 17th September FOMC, the pair breached the July 1st low and then turned upside to correct August cycle. Thus, we prepared to sell from the blue box. We shared the H1 chart below with members on the 21st September 2025.

Chart

The chart above highlighted the 0.7959-0.8012 blue box zone for short opportunities. From the blue box, we expected wave ((v))  to start and continue lower to break the current September low. Alternatively, if not an impulse, then at least a 3-swing dip to happen. A 3-swing dip will put sellers in risk-free position. The chart shows price already triggered the blue box. Thus members are in an open short position.

Chart

The chart above shows the H1 price action leaving the blue box after it triggered it. Price separation is ongoing and we expect it to extend to at least the 50% of wave (c) of ((iv)), where they can take the first profit and run a risk-free trade. This is another typical example of our blue box entry system we use for all the 78 market we cover across all the time frames.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
