23:32 UTC

Neutral intraday, higher lows under a flat cap · RSI 49 · price 0.69593

Rising lows from 0.6951 pressing a 0.6962 session high; range compressing in early Asia.

London broke below the Asian range to a 0.6932 low. The NY session then snapped back to the 0.6973 prior high as USD faded on Iran de-escalation, before giving most of it back to a 0.6944 NY low. Since then, early Asia trade has printed higher lows along a rising support line from the 0.6951 swing low, near the 50% of the NY rally fib, but the 0.6962 session high still caps price and ATR has shrunk to roughly 2–3 pips.

Support: 0.69555, 0.69514, 0.69438

Resistance: 0.69622, 0.69726

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 session high breaks the cap and puts the 0.6973 prior high back in view
  • Loss of the rising support line and the 0.6955 rollover low exposes the 0.6951 swing low near the 50% fib
  • A break of the 0.6951 swing low reopens the 0.6944 NY low
  • AI/equity risk tone remains the main AUD driver; UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC could reset the range

23:17 UTC

Neutral, compressing after NY reversal · RSI 48 · price 0.69585

Higher lows beneath a 0.6962 cap, tight early-Asia band.

The NY session lifted AUDUSD off the 0.6932 London low to a 0.6973 day high, then gave back most of the move to the 0.6944 NY low. Risk-off in equities and Fed hike pricing kept AUD heavy. Since then, rising lows (0.6944, the 0.6951 swing low, the 0.6955 rollover low) have squeezed price into a 0.6955–0.6962 band under the late NY high, near the 38.2% of the NY rally, with RSI(14) neutral around 48.

Support: 0.69553, 0.69514, 0.69438

Resistance: 0.69622, 0.69726

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 late NY high opens the 0.6973 day high
  • Loss of the 0.6955 rollover low breaks the rising-lows sequence and exposes the 0.6951 swing low, then the 0.6944 NY low, below the 61.8% of the NY rally
  • Equity/AI risk tone and US yields remain the main AUD driver in thin Asia trade
  • UoM sentiment and inflation expectations, Fri 14:00 UTC, could shift the read later in the day

23:03 UTC

Rebounding from London low, momentum flattening · RSI 58 · price 0.69585

Higher lows since 0.6944, tight range under 0.6962.

London sold to a 0.6932 session low on the hawkish Fed minutes and firm US yields. NY spiked to a 0.6973 high as DXY faded on Trump's Iran comments, then reversed to the 0.6944 NY low. Since then lows have stepped higher, and early Asia is compressing between the 0.6955 Asian low and a 0.6962 range top that sits on the 61.8% retracement of the NY drop.

Support: 0.69553, 0.69514, 0.69438

Resistance: 0.6962, 0.69726

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 range top / 61.8% opens the 0.6973 NY high
  • Break of the 0.6955 Asian low exposes the 0.6951 swing low, then the 0.6944 NY low
  • No scheduled data in the next 8h; US yield moves remain the swing driver until Friday's UoM release at 14:00 UTC

22:32 UTC

Intraday rebound, rising lows since NY reversal · RSI 59 · price 0.69603

Higher lows inside a 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

NY spiked to a 0.6973 day high as USD eased on the Iran de-escalation headlines, then the move was rejected and fully reversed to the 0.6944 NY low. Since then rising lows have carried price back to 0.6960, into the 61.8% retrace of the NY spike near the 0.6962 late high. Early Asia is quiet, with price still well inside the 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

Support: 0.69553, 0.69514, 0.69438

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 late high and the 61.8% retrace opens the 0.6968 Asia high, then the 0.6973 day high
  • Break of the 0.6955 rollover low and the rising lows trendline exposes the 0.6951 swing low, then the 0.6944 NY low
  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations on Fri at 14:00 UTC; US yields remain the driver of the range

22:17 UTC

Two-way intraday range, higher lows since NY low · RSI 60 · price 0.69594

Higher lows 0.6944/0.6951/0.6955 under 0.6962 cap.

London's slide to 0.6932 reversed in NY. Oil-driven USD softness after the Iran headlines lifted AUDUSD to a 0.6973 day high, but the move faded to the 0.6944 NY low within 90 minutes. Since then the NY low, the 0.6951 swing low and the 0.6955 rollover low form a higher-low sequence, and early Asia is pressing the 0.6962 session high, which sits at the 61.8% fib of the NY drop.

Support: 0.69553, 0.69514, 0.69438

Resistance: 0.69622, 0.69726

  • Loss of the 0.6955 rollover low and then the 0.6951 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.6944 NY low
  • No scheduled AUD/USD data in the next 8h; oil/Iran headlines and US yields remain the swing factor
  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations at 14:00 UTC Friday could materially shift this read

22:03 UTC

Sideways, mild recovery off NY low · RSI 58 · price 0.6958

Higher low at 0.6951 under a 0.6962 cap inside a 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

Both sides of the Asian range (0.6945–0.6968) failed to hold. London broke below it to the 0.6932 day low, and NY spiked to the 0.6973 day high before reversing to the 0.6944 NY low as US yields stayed near multi-decade highs. Since then price has carved a higher low at 0.6951 beneath the 0.6962 late-NY high, now in thin post-rollover trade with ATR(14) near 2.7 pips.

Support: 0.69514, 0.69438, 0.69324

Resistance: 0.69622, 0.69726

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 late-NY high breaks the cap and puts the 0.6973 day high back in focus
  • Loss of the 0.6951 higher low and the rising higher-low line returns price to the 0.6944 NY low
  • Below the 0.6932 day low, the 0.6935 range floor in the digest gives way
  • Oil/Iran headlines and US long-end yields during the Asia session can move AUD in thin liquidity

21:32 UTC

Two-way range, no directional follow-through · RSI 51 · price 0.6956

Wide 0.6932–0.6973 day range after false breaks of both Asian extremes; tight late-NY drift.

London broke the Asian low and ran to the 0.6932 day low. NY then reversed through the Asian high to a 0.6973 session high as USD faded on Iran de-escalation, met rejection, and gave the move back to the 0.6944 NY low. Price now sits at 0.6956 in early Asia, between the 0.6951 swing low and the 0.6962 late NY high, inside the 38.2–50% band of the NY reversal fib.

Support: 0.6951, 0.6944, 0.6932

Resistance: 0.6962, 0.6973

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 late NY high (61.8% of the NY reversal fib) brings the 0.6973 session high back into play

  • UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

21:17 UTC

Sideways, two-way volatility fading · RSI 46 · price 0.69565

Late-NY range 0.6951–0.6962 inside 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

London sold to the 0.6932 day low as hawkish Fed minutes lifted yields. NY then spiked to the 0.6973 day high on Trump's Iran de-escalation, but that rejection retraced most of the move to the 0.6944 NY low. Since then price has carved a higher low at 0.6951 and stalled under the 0.6962 range top into the rollover, with ATR compressed near 3–4 pips.

Support: 0.69514, 0.69438, 0.69324

Resistance: 0.69622, 0.69726

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 range top reopens the 0.6973 day high
  • Loss of the 0.6951 higher low breaks the late-NY trendline and exposes the 0.6944 NY low
  • Below the NY low, the 61.8% fib near 0.6948 gives way and the 0.6932 day low comes back into play
  • Thin rollover/early Asia liquidity; UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC could shift the read

21:05 UTC

Sideways, compressing after two-way NY swings · RSI 49 · price 0.69575

Lower highs from 0.6973 against higher lows from 0.6944, narrowing into the NY close.

London broke below the Asian range to a 0.6932 day low on hawkish-Fed, higher-yield USD demand. NY then spiked to a 0.6973 day high as oil-driven USD softening hit, a false break of the Asian high that was rejected back to the 0.6944 NY low. Since then price has compressed between lower highs at the 0.6962 late NY high and a 0.6951 swing low, with RSI(14) neutral near 49 and ATR(14) under 4 pips.

  • US long-end yields and Iran/oil headlines remain the swing factor for USD during Asia session

20:32 UTC

Sideways after two-way day, higher lows since NY low · RSI 55 · price 0.69583

Higher lows under a 0.6962 double cap inside the 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

Both edges of the 0.6945–0.6968 Asian range failed. London's false break to the 0.6932 day low reversed, and NY's spike to the 0.6973 ny high, as USD gave back ground on Iran de-escalation, met rejection. Since the 0.6944 swing low, price has built a 0.6951 higher low along the rising trendline but stalled twice at the 0.6962 double cap after NY close, with RSI(14) neutral near 55.

Support: 0.69514, 0.69438, 0.69324

Intraday range 0.6932–0.6973; higher low at 0.6951 pressing the 0.6962 swing high.

NY spiked to a 0.6973 session high as Iran de-escalation knocked USD back, but the move was rejected and fully unwound to the 0.6944 swing low. Late NY has since printed a higher low at 0.6951 and is pressing the 0.6962 swing high, which sits on the 61.8% retrace of that drop. RSI(14) is near 61 and ATR is shrinking into the thin late-session tape.

Higher lows at 0.6932/0.6944/0.6951 under a 0.6962 swing high.

London sold AUDUSD to a 0.6932 day low as hawkish-Fed and yield pressure weighed. The NY spike to the 0.6973 day high came as USD pulled back on Iran de-escalation, and it was fully rejected down to the 0.6944 NY low. Late NY has since printed higher lows at 0.6944 and 0.6951, and price is pressing the 0.6962 swing high with the Asian high at 0.6968 just above.

Support: 0.69514, 0.69438, 0.69324

Resistance: 0.69615, 0.69679, 0.69726

  • M15 close above the 0.6962 swing high exposes the 0.6968 Asian high and the 0.6973 day high

  • Loss of the higher-lows trendline from the 0.6932 day low reopens the range floor

Two-way intraday chop, no directional trend · RSI 55 · price 0.69571

Contracting range after NY spike rejection: lower highs, higher lows.

Late NY session. AUD/USD is coiling at 0.6957 between the 17:30 UTC swing high at 0.69615 and the 18:15 UTC swing low at 0.69514. Earlier, the NY rally swept the Asian high to a 0.6973 day high, in step with the USD fade on Iran de-escalation headlines, and was rejected there. Since the rejection, lower highs and higher lows have formed around the 38.2% retracement of the 0.6932–0.6973 rally.

Support: 0.69514, 0.69438, 0.69324

  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC are the next scheduled USD risk

Two-way, contracting in late NY · RSI 55 · price 0.69559

Lower highs and higher lows inside the Asian range after a failed break of the Asian high.

London took out the Asian low and hit a day low at 0.6932. The NY-open spike to 0.6973 came as USD faded on the Iran headlines, but it reversed back through the asian high (0.6968) and found demand at the ny low of 0.6944. Since then price has carved a 0.6962 lower high and a 0.6951 higher low, and is now pinned near EMA20 at 0.6956 with ATR around 5 pips.

19:03 UTC

Two-way intraday swings, now neutral · RSI 54 · price 0.69556

Lower high 0.6962 vs higher low 0.6951, range compressing.

London broke the Asian low and ran to the 0.6932 day low as USD held firm on post-FOMC Minutes yields. NY then reversed through the 0.6968 Asian high to a 0.6973 day high but failed back inside the range. Late in NY, price is coiling between a 0.6962 lower high and a 0.6951 higher low above the 0.6944 NY low, with RSI(14) neutral near 54.

Contracting range: lower high 0.6962 vs higher low 0.6944 inside the 0.6932–0.6973 day range.

With AUD heavy on hawkish FOMC Minutes, NY pushed through the Asian high to the 0.6973 ny high and reversed fully to the 0.6944 ny low, a false break. The bounce stalled at the 0.6962 lower high, the 61.8% retrace and the London high, leaving price late in NY flat at EMA20 near 0.6954 in a contracting range above the 0.6932 day low.

Lower high 0.6962 / higher low 0.6944 after NY false break of Asian high.

London broke below the Asian range to a 0.6932 session low as hawkish FOMC minutes and near-2002 US yields kept USD bid. NY then reversed through the 0.6968 Asian high to a 0.6973 session high, but that move failed. Since then, a lower high at 0.6962 and a higher low at 0.6944 have price coiling around 0.6952 late in NY hours, with RSI(14) near 42.

18:17 UTC

Intraday range, lower high forming · RSI 46 · price 0.69555

NY spike above the Asian high failed; price mid-range between 0.6944 and 0.6973.

London broke the Asian low to a 0.6932 day low as yields extended after the hawkish FOMC minutes. NY then reversed through the Asian high to 0.6973, but that break failed and price retraced about 70% of the day low-ny high leg to 0.6944. Late in NY hours price sits mid-range under a 0.6962 lower high, with RSI neutral near 46.

Two-way, recovering from NY rejection · RSI 47 · price 0.69573

Higher low at 0.6944 after rejection from 0.6973 NY high; consolidating below the 0.6962 lower high.

London extended the post-FOMC-minutes slide to a day low at 0.6932 as US yields pressed multi-decade highs. NY then rallied through the Asian high to 0.6973, but that move was fully rejected back to 0.6944, a higher low on the trendline from the day low. Price is now drifting between 0.6950 and the 0.6962 lower high after London close, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

Two-way, rebounding inside NY range · RSI 59 · price 0.6960

Higher lows off 0.6944 within a 0.6932–0.6973 session range.

London broke the Asian range lower to a 0.6932 day low around the US claims print. NY then made a false break above the 0.6968 Asian high to a 0.6973 NY high, and gave back nearly 30 pips to the 0.6944 Asian low. After London close, price has built a chain of higher lows and is pressing the 0.6962 London high, which aligns with the 61.8% retrace of the NY drop. The rebound coincides with Trump's Iran de-escalation headline trimming haven USD demand; RSI(14) sits near 59.

Higher low at 0.6944 above 0.6932 day low, capped below 0.6973 spike high.

London broke the Asian range low and slid to a 0.6932 day low as hawkish FOMC minutes and high US yields weighed. NY then spiked through the 0.6968 asian high to a 0.6973 session high, but the move failed and gave back most of the leg to 0.6944. Price now sits at 0.6959 after London close, testing the 0.6962 london high with that 0.6944 higher low intact.

Higher low at 0.69438 after NY false break above Asian high.

Hawkish Fed minutes and firm UST yields pushed AUD to a 0.69324 day low in London. NY then ran above the 0.69679 Asian high to a 0.69726 session high and was rejected back to a 0.69438 pullback low, between the 61.8% and 78.6% fib of the NY rally, leaving a higher low. Price now sits mid-range near 0.6955 after London close, RSI(14) neutral at 53.

Choppy intraday, no direction after failed NY spike · RSI 50 · price 0.69515

False break above Asian high at 0.6973, now mid-range under a 0.6958 lower high.

London sold through the Asian low to the 0.6932 london low. NY then reversed it, spiking through the Asian high to a 0.6973 session high before a sharp rejection unwound the NY rally into the 0.6944 swing low. Price is chopping around the 50% retracement near 0.6952, fractionally under both EMAs, with a 0.6958 lower high capping and hawkish Fed minutes plus near-2002-high UST yields keeping AUD heavy.

Two-way intraday range, no clean trend · RSI 54 · price 0.69537

0.6932–0.6973 range; higher low at 0.6944 after the session high was rejected.

London sold AUD/USD to a day low at 0.6932 as hawkish FOMC minutes and firm yields kept USD bid. NY then spiked past the London high at 0.6962 to a session high at 0.6973, and that move was rejected within the hour, a false break. The pullback set a higher low at 0.6944, about 71% of the fib of rally, and price is now pivoting near the 50% level around 0.6953 after London close, with RSI(14) neutral at 54.

Early NY lifted price from the 0.6932 london low to a 0.6973 ny high, a false break above the Asian high near 0.6968 that was fully rejected. Price fell back through the fib 61.8% at 0.6948 to the 0.6944 prior lows, about 71% of the move, with USD still firm on yields. Late NY now has price pinned at EMA20/50 near 0.6951 with RSI(14) neutral at 52.

False break above Asian high, full reversal back to Asian low.

The NY rally off the 0.6932 day low cleared the London high and Asian high to print a 0.6973 NY high, then was rejected and fully unwound to the 0.6944 Asia low, near the 61.8% fib of the NY rally.

False break above Asian high, reversal back to asia low.

Early NY lifted price above the 0.6968 Asian high to a 0.6973 NY high, then reversed hard. The drop has retraced more than 61.8% of the NY rally fib from the 0.6932 day low as US yields push toward 2002 highs on the hawkish Fed minutes. Price now sits on the 0.6945 asia low, below both EMAs.

False break above prior high, pulling back to 50% fib.

Early in the NY session price spiked to a 0.6973 NY high, briefly clearing the 0.6969 prior high, then reversed. Four straight lower closes have since retraced half of the 0.6932–0.6973 rally, and price is sitting on the 50% fib near 0.6951. The 0.6932 session low printed during London as USD stayed firm on Treasury yields near 2002 highs.

London broke the 0.6945 asian low and extended to 0.6932. NY hours then brought a 40-pip rebound that swept the prior high at 0.6969 to a 0.6973 ny high before rejection. The pullback is now testing the 38.2% fib near 0.6957 with RSI(14) cooling to about 58, while USD tone stays firm on yields near 2002 highs.

AUD retraced the London slide from 0.6932 to 0.6973 in the first hour of NY, briefly clearing the 0.6969 prior high before the spike was rejected back to 0.6962. RSI(14) has cooled to ~63.

The 14:30 UTC bar was rejected at the 0.6973 session high and closed back under the 0.6968 Asian high, with RSI(14) near 69.

Through early NY it cleared the Asian high at 0.6968 and is now pressing the prior high at 0.6970, with RSI(14) near 74. The move runs against the firm-USD backdrop after the 197K claims beat; a rising rebound trendline from the day low tracks the higher-low chain.

London pushed through the Asian low at 0.6945 to a session low at 0.6932, just under the 0.6935 area, but the break failed. NY has since reclaimed the Asian range with a clean higher-low chain off the support trendline despite firm US claims (197K).

London took out the Asian low near 0.6945 and ran to a 0.6932 session low, briefly piercing the 0.6935 support as hawkish Fed minutes and high US yields kept USD bid. The break did not hold: NY has built a higher low at 0.6941 along rising support, shrugged off a brief dip on the 12:30 UTC claims beat, and is now pressing the 0.6951 ema50 / fib cluster (61.8% of the London high-to-low drop) after one rejection there at 13:00.

Resistance: 0.6942, 0.6945, 0.6962

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.6935 range floor exposes the 0.6900 3m low

Lower-high chain from the Asian high, price retesting the Asian low late in London.

Late London has rolled back to retest the Asian low at 0.69447. Supply capped the London high at 0.69617 and then the 0.69577 lower high, extending the lower-high sequence from the 0.69679 Asian high as hawkish FOMC minutes and firm US yields weigh on AUD.

Mid-London, AUDUSD has faded the 0.6962 london high and printed lower highs since the 0.6968 asian high. Price has given back about 80% of the early-London leg off 0.6945 as hawkish FOMC Minutes and US yields near 2002 highs weigh.

Lower highs since 08:30 UTC inside the Asian range.

Asia carved a 0.6945–0.6968 range as hawkish FOMC Minutes kept USD bid. London opened with a second test of the asian low and bounced to the london high at 0.6962, where it was rejected. A lower high at 0.6958 has since pushed price back to psych 0.6950, about 70% into the London leg, with price below both EMAs.

Range with lower highs, mild downside pressure · RSI 46 · price 0.69512

Mid-London range 0.6945–0.6962 below a lower high off the Asian high.

AUD stays heavy on hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs. The pre-London drop broke the Asian range low, and the London low at 0.6945 held twice. The bounce was rejected at the London high of 0.6962, a lower high under the Asian high at 0.6968, and price is now back at the 61.8% retrace of that London swing near 0.6951 with RSI(14) neutral at 46.

Lower highs from Asian high; Asian low lost and now capping.

The 0.6954–0.6968 Asian range broke lower before London to a 0.6945 low. Buyers held that London low on the open, but the bounce stalled at 0.6962, the London high, extending the lower-highs sequence from the Asian high. Mid-London, price sits back under the former Asian low near 0.6953, about a 50% retrace of the London bounce, with hawkish FOMC minutes and ~5.30% US 10y yields keeping AUD heavy.

London trading inside the Asian range 0.6945–0.6968; double low at 0.6945, lower highs capping.

Asia sold from the 0.6968 asian high to 0.6945 as hawkish Fed minutes and firm US yields weighed on AUD. Buyers stepped in at the London open for a double low at 0.6945. The bounce stalled at the 0.6962 london high, about a 73% retrace of the Asian drop, and price is now mid-range near 0.6955 with RSI(14) neutral around 52.

09:17 UTC

Intraday range, no directional follow-through · RSI 53 · price 0.69531

Inside Asian range; base at 0.6945, London high rejected.

AUDUSD slid to the 0.6945 Asian low late in the Asia session as the USD stayed firm after the hawkish FOMC minutes. London's rebound met rejection at the 0.6962 London high, and price is back at the 0.6950 round number, about halfway into that leg, with RSI(14) neutral near 53 and ATR(14) around 4.6 pips.

Intraday rebound within a heavy tone · RSI 53 · price 0.69579

Higher lows since London open, inside Asian range.

AUD stayed heavy after the hawkish FOMC minutes. The late-Asia drop through the 0.6954 range floor found a low at 0.6945, and the London open retest held there, forming a double bottom just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low. Two hours into the London session, price has built higher lows back to a 0.6962 session high, retracing past 61.8% of the Asian high-to-low decline. RSI(14) is neutral near 53.

Intraday recovery, higher highs off session low · RSI 57 · price 0.69605

Double bottom near 0.6945, rising lows into London; mid-to-upper Asian range.

With hawkish FOMC minutes and Hormuz risk-off weighing, AUD was pinned near 0.6945 into the London open. The session low held twice (double bottom), and London has since built rising lows and higher highs past the 61.8% of the Asian drop. Price is now pressing the 0.6963 prior pivot as Waller speaks, with the 0.6968 Asian high next above.

Lower high at 0.6968, twin lows at 0.6945, retesting asian base.

AUD stayed heavy on the hawkish Fed Minutes and Hormuz risk-off. The pre-London drop from the 0.6968 asian high printed twin lows at 0.6945, just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low, and demand held at that floor into the London open. Price has lifted to 0.6956, the 50% fib of that drop and the underside of the 0.6957 asian base, with RSI(14) neutral near 52.

Support: 0.6945, 0.6942

Downtrend, early London bounce stalling · RSI 43 · price 0.69507

Asian range broken lower, lower highs since 0.6968.

AUD slipped out of the 0.6954–0.6968 Asian range into London open, extending the post-FOMC-minutes softness, and printed a london low twice at 0.6945, just above yesterday's prior low at 0.6942. The bounce from there stalled at 0.6955, the old asian low, keeping the descending highs from 0.6968 intact.

  • Break below 0.6945 london low and 0.6942 prior low extends the downtrend toward the 0.6900 3m low

Heavy, lower highs since the Asia high · RSI 45 · price 0.69534

Lower highs from 0.6968; twin lows at 0.6945 above prior low.

AUD stayed heavy on the hawkish Fed Minutes and 2002-high US yields. A late-Asia drop from the 0.6955 asia shelf printed a session low at 0.6945, retested in early London and held just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low. The bounce has stalled back at the shelf, still under the lower highs line from the 0.6968 asia high, with RSI(14) neutral near 45.

Support: 0.6945, 0.69424

Resistance: 0.69552, 0.69679

Asian lower-high sequence broken at London open; higher low at 0.6945.

AUD bled through Asia from the 0.6968 asian high to a 0.6945 asian low as the hawkish Fed Minutes and risk-off weighed. London open printed a higher low at 0.6945, forming a double bottom. The next bar broke the Asian downtrend line, and price is now pinned at EMA20 and the 38.2% retrace near 0.6954, with ATR(14) around 4 pips.

Downtrend, lower highs since Asia · RSI 35 · price 0.69468

Asian range broken lower, old range floor capping the retest.

Asia held a 0.6954–0.6968 range, then broke lower at 05:45 UTC on firm USD after the hawkish Fed Minutes. The bounce stalled at the old asian low (0.6954), extending lower highs from the 0.6968 asian high. London open is pressing the 0.6945 session low again, with the prior low at 0.6942 just beneath; RSI(14) ~35 and price sits under both EMAs.

Support: 0.69447, 0.69424

Intraday downtrend, lower highs through Asia · RSI 36 · price 0.69487

Lower-high/lower-low chain; broken range base retested from below.

The 5.3% inflation-expectations print lifted AUD to the 0.6968 Asian high, but supply returned. Price then broke the 0.6954 range base to 0.6945 as the post-FOMC-minutes USD bid held. The bounce stalled at the range base and 38.2% fib, and London opens just above the Asian low with yesterday's 0.6942 prior low below.

Support: 0.69447, 0.69424

Resistance: 0.69542, 0.69679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.6954 range base and lower-high trendline invalidates the downtrend read
  • Failure to hold the 0.6945 Asian low exposes the 0.6942 prior low and confirms a fresh lower-low

Asian range floor broken, bounce testing it from below.

Late Asia broke the 0.6955 asian floor to a 0.6945 session low, just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low, then bounced back to test the broken floor into London open. The 5.3% inflation expectations print drove the Asia lift to the 0.6968 asian high, but the pair has faded since against a USD still firm after the hawkish FOMC minutes.

Support: 0.69447, 0.69424

Resistance: 0.69555, 0.69679

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.6955 asian floor reclaims the Asian range and turns the dip into a false break

  • Waller at 08:30 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since 02:15 UTC · RSI 39 · price 0.69519

Asian range floor broken, price retesting it from below.

Late in the Asia session, 30 minutes before London open, AUDUSD broke the 0.6954 range floor at 05:45 UTC. It dropped to a 0.6945 session low, just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low, as the USD bid on 24-year-high yields and the hawkish FOMC Minutes persisted. The rebound stalled at 0.6954 near the 38.2% retrace of the Asian drop, with price below both EMAs.

Support: 0.69447, 0.69424

Resistance: 0.6954, 0.69679

Lower highs from 0.6968 Asian high, lower low at 0.6945.

Late Asia broke the 0.6955–0.6957 shelf and fell to a 0.6945 session low. That low held just above yesterday's 0.6942 prior low, and buyers stepped in there, but price sits at 0.6952, below both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 40 ahead of the London open. AUD is heavy on the hawkish FOMC minutes and 5.3% UST yields.

Support: 0.69447, 0.69424

Resistance: 0.6956, 0.69679

What it said to watch

  • Break below the 0.6942 prior low extends the lower-low sequence beneath yesterday's London trough
  • Reclaim of the 0.6956 shelf (fib 50%) neutralises the Asia breakdown and puts the 0.6968 Asian high back in play

Downtrend, fresh leg lower · RSI 26 · price 0.69471

Late-Asia break below Asian range low, lower highs since 0.6968.

The Asian bounce to the 0.6968 asian high after the 5.3% inflation-expectations print has fully faded. Late in the Asia session price broke the 0.6954 asian low and printed 0.6945, now about 3 pips above Wednesday's 0.6942 prior low, with USD firm on record-high yields. RSI(14) is near 26 and ATR(14) about 3 pips heading into London open, and the 38.2% retrace of the Asian leg sits at the broken asian low.

Support: 0.69424, 0.6930

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6942 prior low confirms a lower-low and puts 0.6930 key support in view
  • Recovery back above the 0.6954 asian low / 38.2% retrace would mark the break as a false break, with the 0.6968 asian high above

Intraday downtrend, slow drift · RSI 36 · price 0.6953

Lower high at Asian high, slipping out of the 0.6954–0.6957 base.

Asia's bounce was rejected at the 0.6968 asian high, a lower high under yesterday's 0.6969 NY peak. Late Asia has slipped through the 0.6954–0.6957 range base to a new asian low at 0.6952 ahead of London open, with firm UST yields after the hawkish FOMC minutes keeping USD supported. RSI(14) is near 36 and ATR is only ~2.7 pips, so ranges are compressed.

Support: 0.6952, 0.6942

Resistance: 0.6957, 0.6968, 0.6974

What it said to watch

  • Holding below the 0.6952 asian low extends the lower-high sequence toward the 0.6942 prior low
  • A move back above the 0.6957 range base would make the break a false break
  • A close above the 0.6968 asian high breaks the lower-high structure and puts the 0.6974 prior high in play

Intraday range, soft downside tilt · RSI 42 · price 0.69567

Late-Asia compression above the 0.6954 asian low after a lower high at 0.6968.

Asia faded from the 0.6968 asian high at 02:30 UTC. The 03:00 breakdown below 0.6962 left price compressing at 0.6954–0.6957, just above the asian low, which has been tested three times, and near the 50% of yesterday's 0.6942–0.6969 ny rebound. The firm USD after hawkish FOMC Minutes is capping AUD, partly offset by the 5.3% inflation expectations print. ATR(14) near 2.7 pips confirms a tight pre-London range.

Support: 0.6954, 0.6942

Resistance: 0.6962, 0.6968

Asian range 0.6954–0.6968, price pinned at range floor.

Asia's bounce off the 0.6954 Asian low met rejection at the 0.6968 Asian high, in line with yesterday's NY peak. Price has since faded back to the floor and is compressing in a 3-pip band at the 50% level of the NY rally fib ahead of London open, with USD firm after the hawkish FOMC Minutes. ATR(14) under 3 pips reflects thin late-Asia trade.

Support: 0.6954, 0.6942

Late Asia session. The bounce after the 5.3% inflation-expectations print faded at the 0.6968 asian high, a lower high under yesterday's 0.6969 NY peak, as the post-FOMC Minutes USD bid held.

It now sits at the fib 50% retrace of yesterday's 0.6942 prior low to 0.6969 rally, with USD firm after the hawkish FOMC Minutes.

Mid-Asia session, AUDUSD has been boxed in the 0.6954–0.6969 range since the NY rebound off the 0.6942 prior low, with hawkish Fed minutes keeping a lid on rallies.
