U.S. Dollar / Swiss Franc (USDCHF) — H4 Formation of Wave 3 + Trendline Break (Bearish Continuation)
Market Structure (H4)
On the H4 timeframe, USDCHF has formed the technical conditions for the development of Wave 3 to the downside, confirmed by:
a breakout below the corrective trendline (structure shift)
completion of the pullback phase (Wave 2) near local resistance
rejection from the upper boundary of the corrective range
loss of short-term bullish momentum and renewed selling pressure
This setup fits a classic Elliott Wave continuation model, where Wave 3 begins after price exits a corrective structure and resumes the dominant bearish direction.
Elliott Wave Context
Wave 1: initial impulsive move down (trend initiation)
Wave 2: corrective retracement into resistance / structure top
Wave 3: expected impulsive expansion lower (current scenario)
Key principle:
The bearish scenario remains valid as long as price stays below the high of Wave 2.
Entry
Entry: 0.77089
The entry is positioned:
below the broken trendline (breakdown confirmation zone)
inside the impulse activation area after the corrective structure failed
aligned with continuation momentum rather than a reversal attempt
Target Levels (Wave 3 Projections)
Targets are derived from projected impulse expansion zones and key reaction levels:
TP1: 0.76594
TP2: 0.76014
TP3: 0.75406
TP4: 0.74849
Each target is a potential reaction zone and a logical level for partial profit-taking during Wave 3 development.
Invalidation / Stop Loss
Stop Loss: 0.77562
The stop is placed above the high of Wave 2, which:
invalidates the Wave 3 bearish scenario if breached
protects against a shift into an alternative bullish structure
follows Elliott Wave risk placement beyond the corrective extreme
Risk & Trade Management
Trend-following setup
Wave 3 can accelerate quickly, so risk control is key.
Recommended approach:
partial profits at TP1 / TP2
move stop to breakeven after a clean bearish continuation is confirmed
avoid adding early — scale only on intrawave pullbacks that respect resistance
confirmation improves if price holds below the broken trendline and continues with strong H4 bearish closes
Summary
USDCHF on H4 shows a corrective trendline breakdown and signs of Wave 2 completion, supporting the start of Wave 3 to the downside.
The bearish scenario remains valid below 0.77562, with downside targets at 0.76594 → 0.76014 → 0.75406 → 0.74849.
