Drawn from real 15-minute candles: the nearest standing high and low, where stops rest. A: the spike runs the high, closes back, and the low is next. B: the mirror. Where to look, not a promise: some days one plays and some days neither does. Vote on which one plays: it is settled on the 15-minute candles of the 24 hours after the announcement.

How the last SNB decisions moved USD/CHF
Across 7 measured SNB decisions since January 2025, the first spike closed back inside the hour-before range within 60 minutes in 4 (57%), and in 1 of those price then took the other side within four hours. In the other 3 the first move held. Median move in the first 15 minutes: 17 pips.
| Date | Decision | First side | Closed back | After 60 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 24, 2026 | ■ hold 0.00% | ▲ 36 pips | No | +49 pips |
| Jun 18, 2026 | ■ hold 0.00% | ▲ 11 pips | 15 min | +25 pips |
| Mar 19, 2026 | ■ hold 0.00% | ▲ 7.9 pips | 5 min | +8.4 pips |
| Dec 11, 2025 | ■ hold 0.00% | ▼ 4.3 pips | 30 min | −1.4 pips |
| Sep 25, 2025 | ■ hold 0.00% | ▲ 0.4 pips | 5 min | +1.1 pips |
| Jun 19, 2025 | ▼ cut 0.00% | ▼ 26 pips | No | −33 pips |
Up and down are the pair USD/CHF. A hawkish surprise (a bigger hike, a smaller cut, a hold when a cut was expected) tends to push USD/CHF down, because CHF is its second currency; a dovish one pushes it up.
