Lower highs from 0.6990 week high, floor at 0.6932 tested twice.
AUDUSD has printed lower highs since Tuesday's NY-session week high at 0.6990. Thursday's London slide to 0.6932 retested Monday's week low as hawkish FOMC minutes and elevated UST yields lifted USD, and the NY-open spike high at 0.6973 on Iran de-escalation headlines was rejected within the hour. Price now sits just above EMA(20) near 0.6955 and fractionally below EMA(50), between the 38.2% and the fib 50% retracement of the week's decline, with RSI(14) neutral near 53.

AUDUSD has stayed inside a 0.6932–0.6990 range all week. The week high at 0.6990 printed around Tuesday's NY open, and price has made lower highs since, with the hawkish FOMC minutes lifting USD into Wednesday's London session. Thursday's London dip broke the Wednesday low at 0.6944 and tagged the week low near Monday's 0.6932 before reclaiming it, while the NY spike on Iran de-escalation headlines faded below the Thursday high at 0.6973; price now sits just above EMA(20) and fractionally below EMA(50), with RSI(14) flat near 52, between the 38.2% and 50% levels of the week-decline fib.

Lower highs and lower lows from 0.6990; Thursday low retested Monday's week low.
The rally from Monday's 0.6932 week low peaked at the 0.6990 week high during Tuesday's London session. Hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near multi-decade highs then drove the Tue-Thu drop, with a London-led flush on Thursday retesting the week low. The NY bounce stalled at the 0.6973 Thu high, under the lower-highs trendline, and price now sits pinned between the ema20 at 0.6954 and the ema50 at 0.6960, with RSI(14) flat near 52.

Lower highs from 0.6990 inside the 0.6932–0.6990 weekly range.
AUDUSD rallied from the 0.6932 week low on Monday to the 0.6990 week high at the London-NY transition on Tuesday. Since then it has printed lower highs as hawkish FOMC minutes and rising US yields lifted USD, with Wednesday's London drop finding the 0.6942 weekly open. Thursday's London dip held the week low, and the NY bounce on Iran de-escalation headlines met rejection at 0.6973 (thu high). Price now sits near the 50% retracement of the Tuesday–Thursday decline, marginally above a flattened ema20 near 0.6955, with RSI(14) neutral in the mid-50s.

UMich sentiment, inflation expectations and Fed's Collins on Fri 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read via US yields
AUDUSD has unwound Tuesday's early-NY push to the 0.6990 week high. Lower highs printed through Wednesday's London session as the dollar firmed around the FOMC minutes and US yields climbed. Thursday's London dip held 0.6932, matching Monday's week low, and an NY-hours spike to the 0.6973 prior high was rejected, leaving price pinned at EMA20 (0.6954, also the 38.2% retracement) and below the fib 50% at 0.6961, with RSI(14) near 53.

From the 0.6942 weekly open, London and NY sessions on Monday and Tuesday carried AUDUSD to a 0.6990 week high. Since then the pair has printed lower highs and given back almost the whole leg as USD firmed on hawkish FOMC minutes and the long-end bond selloff. Thursday's London dip held 0.6932, matching Monday's week low, and the NY spike to the 0.6973 thu high was rejected inside an hour; price now sits on EMA(20) near 0.6954, with EMA(50) at 0.6959 overhead and RSI(14) flat near 50.

Lower highs from 0.6990 inside a 0.6932-0.6990 weekly range.
AUDUSD has given back the Monday–Tuesday advance from the 0.6932 week low to the 0.6990 week high, printing lower highs since Tuesday's NY session as hawkish FOMC minutes and firmer US yields kept USD bid. Thursday's London dip retested the week low, and a NY-hours spike to the thu high at 0.6973 was rejected within the hour. Price now sits on the ema20 near 0.6953, at the 38.2% fib of the decline, with RSI(14) flat near 47 and the weekly open at 0.6942 as the nearer floor.

Lower highs and lower lows from 0.6990, retesting Monday's low.
AUDUSD rallied from Monday's 0.6932 week low to Tuesday's 0.6990 week high in early NY trade. It has since printed lower highs and lower lows as hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs weighed, and Thursday's London session revisited the week low. The NY-hours spike to the 0.6973 thu high stalled above the 61.8% of the Tue–Thu decline, under the lower-high line, and was fully rejected back below EMA(20) at 0.6952, leaving price just above the weekly open at 0.6942 with RSI(14) near 41 and both EMAs overhead.

0.6932–0.6990 weekly range; retest of week low held.
AUDUSD has rotated inside a 0.6932–0.6990 range since Monday's open. Tuesday's London push to the week high has fully unwound as USD firmed on hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs. London today retested Monday's 0.6932 week low, and the NY rebound reclaimed EMA(20) near 0.6955, but the bounce met rejection at the 0.6973 session high, below a line of lower highs from Tuesday, leaving price at the 50% retracement of the week high-low move with RSI(14) near 51.

Lower highs from 0.6990; week low at 0.6932 held on Thursday's retest.
AUDUSD has printed lower highs since Tuesday's NY-open week high at 0.6990. Hawkish Fed minutes and US yields near 2002 highs kept the pair heavy into Thursday's London session, which retested the week low at 0.6932, Monday's Asia-session low. The rejection there lifted price into the NY open around the US claims release, and it now sits on EMA(20) and the 38.2% fib of the Tuesday-to-Thursday drop at 0.6954, just above the week open at 0.6942.

AUDUSD has unwound Monday–Tuesday's rally from the 0.6932 week low to the 0.6990 week high, which printed at Tuesday's NY open. Since then the pair has carved a sequence of lower highs at 0.6969 and 0.6962 under a falling trendline, with the sharpest legs coming in London hours as hawkish Fed minutes and US yields near 2002 highs kept USD bid. Today's London drop retested the 0.6932 week low almost to the pip, and price now sits on the weekly open at 0.6942, below a declining EMA(20) near 0.6951 with RSI(14) in the high 30s.

A two-day slide from Tuesday's 0.6990 week high, set into the NY open, has unwound the whole Monday rally. Each H1 bounce has capped lower, at 0.6969 late Wednesday and then a lower high of 0.6962 at Thursday's London open, as hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs kept USD bid. Price has slipped back under the 0.6942 weekly open and sits below both the ema20 and EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 33, pressing the 0.6932 week low printed in Monday's Asia session.

Lower highs since Tuesday, flat floor at weekly open.
Monday's rally from the 0.6932 week low ran through London and NY into Tuesday's 0.6990 week high. It has since unwound in a sequence of lower highs, the latest at 0.6962. Wednesday's London-hours drop and Thursday's Asia and London selling, framed by hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs, have pushed price back to the 0.6942 weekly open, close to the 78.6% retracement of the Monday-Tuesday rally. Price is below the ema20 at ~0.6955 with RSI(14) near 35, and the pullbacks this week have stalled under the ema20 rather than reclaiming it.

AUDUSD has printed lower highs since Tuesday's NY-open peak at the 0.6990 week high. Wednesday's London sell-off and an Asia-session leg today both found demand at the 0.6942-0.6945 twin lows, which sit on the weekly open. Price holds below the EMA(20) near 0.6956 and below the EMA(50), with RSI(14) near 41. It sits between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement of the Monday-Tuesday rally, as hawkish FOMC minutes and US yields near 2002 highs cap each rebound.

AUD/USD has given back most of the Monday–Tuesday rally from the 0.6932 monday low to the 0.6990 week high. Wednesday's London-session selloff and the drift after the hawkish FOMC Minutes left a lower high near 0.6969, and the lower-highs line from Tuesday has capped every rebound since. Price now sits below EMA(20) and EMA(50), between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement of that rally, with RSI(14) near 39 and hourly ATR compressed to about 7 pips, while the asia low at 0.6945 and the weekly open at 0.6942 have absorbed two dips and the ema20 near 0.6957 caps rebounds.

Wednesday's London-into-NY selloff then retraced to 0.6942, back to the weekly open and close to the 78.6% fib, with USD firm on 24-year-high yields. Since the hawkish FOMC Minutes, bounces have shown rejection at the 0.6968 lower high, and price is pinned below a flat ema20 near 0.6960, sitting on the 61.8% fib with the Asia low at 0.6954 underneath.

The week opened at 0.6942 and rallied from the 0.6932 week low into a 0.6990 week high during Tuesday's NY session. Wednesday's London-into-NY sell-off retraced back to the weekly open as yields and oil lifted USD, then recovered to a 0.6969 lower high, with the FOMC minutes drawing only a muted H1 response. Price now sits on the 50% retracement of the Mon–Tue rally, just under the ema20. The Thursday Asia low at 0.6954 held the 61.8% level, and RSI(14) is near 46.

The week's dominant move was the Monday–Tuesday rally from the 0.6932 monday low to the 0.6990 week high. A USD bid on surging Treasury yields then drove a London-session drop on Wednesday that retraced about 80% and stalled at the weekly open at 0.6942, while the hawkish FOMC minutes produced only a shallow dip into Asia that held the 61.8 fib at 0.6954 as a higher low. Price now sits mid-range on EMA(20) and just under EMA(50), RSI(14) near 48, capped beneath Wednesday's 0.6969 lower high.

Lower high at 0.6969 under the 0.6990 top, mid-range above the weekly open.
The rally from Monday's 0.6932 week low to Tuesday's 0.6990 week high was rejected. Most of it was given back in Wednesday's London session, which tagged the 0.6942 weekly open before NY hours bounced only to a 0.6969 lower high. Price faded after the hawkish Fed minutes and slipped to a fresh Asia low at 0.6954. It now sits below EMA(20) near 0.6962, around the 61.8% level of the Mon-Tue rally fib, with RSI(14) near 46 in a neutral zone.

What it said to watch
An H1 close back above the 0.6969 lower high and the lower-high line invalidates the pullback structure
Failure to hold the 0.6954 Asia low puts the 0.6942 weekly open back in play, with the 0.6932 week low below
Rejection at EMA(20) near 0.6962 keeps the sequence of lower highs intact
Fed's Waller at 08:30 UTC and US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC could materially shift the USD side of this read

0.6942-0.6990 range, higher lows vs lower highs.
From the 0.6942 weekly open and Monday's 0.6932 Asia-session low, AUDUSD rallied through London and NY into Tuesday's 0.6990 week high, stalling just under the 0.70 handle. Wednesday's London slide retested the weekly open to the pip. The NY rebound then stopped at a 0.6969 lower high and faded after hawkish FOMC minutes revived USD demand. Price now sits at 0.6960, the 50% retracement of the week's rally, just under EMA(20) at 0.6963 with RSI(14) near 47, and the Asia session is holding a tight range above the 0.6957 asia low.

What it said to watch
H1 close above the 0.6969 lower high breaks the lower-highs trendline and reopens the 0.6990 week high
Failure to hold the 0.6942 weekly open breaks the higher-lows sequence and exposes the 0.6932 monday low
Loss of the 0.6957 asia low with EMA(20) at 0.6963 capping keeps the 50% retracement of the week rally in question
