ICT/SMC Framework — Distribution Complete, Bearish Continuation
The weekly picture is clear. USDCHF BSL rejection bearish pullback 25 May — price reached 0.79070 last week, printed a long wick rejection, and has printed four bearish daily closes since. That is a bearish order flow shift confirmed by structure. The distribution occurred at the BSL. Retail buyers who chased the 0.79070 print are now the bag-holders funding the move lower.
Monday opened at 0.78420 — below Friday close of 0.78509. London spiked it to 0.78465 (the 1H bearish OB) and sold it hard. The 320-pip drop from 0.78465 to 0.78143 in the London session is not noise. That is institutional distribution. Swiss franc OB retest 0.78200 25 May 2026 — the 0.78196–0.78222 zone (Monday morning high / 15m supply) has rejected price three times during the London afternoon. Every bounce to that level is a lower high. Classic bear market internal structure.
The LOD at 0.78143 is now the pivot. USDCHF ICT daily bearish 0.78143 low 25 May — if this breaks, the next significant support is at 0.78000 (round number), and below that the weekly OB base at 0.77684 opens up. The upper boundary of the weekly OB (0.78200) has already been tagged multiple times today as resistance.

Session Breakdown — Franc Strength, Dollar Soft
CHF is benefiting from both safe-haven flows and a soft USD. No US session today means no dollar support from NY institutional buying. USD CHF price forecast 25 May 2026: price is pressing the weekly OB boundary at 0.78200. The fact that it cannot close above 0.78200 — touching it multiple times in the afternoon session and being sold each time — is bearish confirmation.
The 15m shows a compressing range around 0.78143–0.78222. A break below 0.78143 on any London volume spike targets 0.78000 and then 0.77684 over the coming sessions. Wednesday SNB comments or US data could be the catalyst. (The SNB has a long history of surprising markets. If they open their mouths this week, get out of the way.)
Economic Events — Week Ahead
| Date | Event | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Mon 25 May | US Memorial Day | No NY volume |
| Wed 27 May | SNB Total Sight Deposits, US Consumer Confidence | Medium |
| Thu 29 May | Swiss KOF Leading Indicator | Low |
| Fri 30 May | US PCE, Swiss CPI | High — direct CHF mover |
Swiss CPI Friday is the domestic wildcard. If inflation comes in low, SNB rate cut expectations rise and CHF weakens — giving USDCHF a bounce. If CPI is in line or higher, CHF strength continues and the weekly OB at 0.77684 becomes the working target. Either way, Friday has real potential for a 200+ pip move.
Trade Setup Summary
- Short Setup — Rejection at 0.78196–0.78222 — 15m supply entry
- Target 1 — 0.78143 — intraday LOD
- Target 2 — 0.78000 — round-number support
- Target 3 — 0.77684 — weekly OB base

USDCHF is the most straightforward bearish setup of the week. The BSL was rejected. The structure turned. The weekly target is clear. The only thing standing between current price and 0.77684 is the round number at 0.78000 and whatever the SNB decides to say. Short the bounces. Mind the round number. And keep the Swiss cheese puns to a minimum — the market has heard them all.
