Downtrend, stalled into a flat base · RSI 49 · price 0.69567

Lower highs from the 0.6995 Asia high; 0.6955–0.6960 base since 17:00 UTC.

Monday's London-NY decline from 0.6984 to the 0.6955 day low came as USD extended to a DXY YTD high on haven demand. Through the late NY session and early Asia, price has compressed into a 5-pip base between the day low and the 0.6960 range top. RSI(14) is neutral and ATR is under 2 pips, ahead of the RBA Minutes.

Support: 0.69546, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.6960, 0.69678

What it said to watch

  • RBA Minutes at 00:30 UTC is the next catalyst for the 0.6955–0.6960 base; a hawkish read on 5.3% inflation expectations would test the short base
  • M15 close below the 0.6955 day low resumes the London-NY decline toward the 0.6935 band floor
  • M15 close above the 0.6960 range top exposes the 0.6968 London low, near the 38.2% of the London-NY decline

23:32 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into compression · RSI 49 · price 0.69563

Lower highs and lower lows from the 0.6995 Asian high, now a 5-pip shelf at the session low.

AUDUSD bled from the 0.6995 Asian high on safe-haven USD demand. London failed at 0.6984 and NY rejection at 0.6975 extended the slide to a 0.6955 session low. Since late NY, price has held a tight 0.6955–0.6960 shelf into the Tuesday Asia session, with RSI(14) neutral near 49 and ATR under 2 pips.

Support: 0.69546, 0.6950

Resistance: 0.6960, 0.6975, 0.69838

What it said to watch

  • RBA Minutes at 00:30 UTC (Westpac confidence at 23:30) could break the compression either way
  • M15 close below the 0.6955 session low reopens the descent toward the 0.6950 round number
  • Close above the 0.6960 range top and the descending highs line shifts focus to the 0.6975 ny rejection / 50% fib
  • Reclaim of 0.6984 london high would invalidate the lower-high sequence

23:17 UTC

Downtrend, stalled in tight base · RSI 45 · price 0.69557

Lower highs from Asia peak; 5-pip range above day low.

Monday's 40-pip slide ran from the 0.6995 Asian high and broke the Asian low early in London. It stalled at the 0.6955 day low during NY hours as haven USD demand persisted. Since then price has compressed into a 0.6955–0.6960 range under a descending line of lower highs from the 0.6975 swing high, with the new Asia session just opening.

Support: 0.69546, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.69599, 0.69749

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6955 day low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6935 range floor
  • Close above the 0.6960 range top and the descending line shifts focus to the 0.6975 swing high, which sits at the 50% fib
  • Westpac confidence (23:30 UTC) and RBA minutes (00:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

23:03 UTC

Downtrend, stalled into tight base · RSI 44 · price 0.69558

Lower highs from 0.6995 Asia high; flat 5-pip base since late NY.

AUD/USD bled from the 0.6995 Asia high to the 0.6955 session low through London and NY as haven USD demand pushed DXY to YTD highs, with a lower high at 0.6975 and the london high at 0.6984 capping each bounce. Since late NY, price has compressed into a 0.6955–0.6960 base, with ATR near 2 pips into the early Asia session.

Support: 0.69546, 0.6950

Resistance: 0.69599, 0.69749, 0.69838

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6955 session low breaks the base and puts the 0.6950 round number in play
  • Reclaim of the 0.6960 range top, then the 0.6975 lower high, needed to break the lower-highs sequence; the london high at 0.6984 sits above
  • RBA minutes at 00:30 UTC could materially shift this read; Westpac confidence at 23:30 UTC is a minor lead-in

22:47 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalled · RSI 53 · price 0.69584

Lower highs from 0.6975; tight 0.6955–0.6960 box above the session low.

London broke the Asian low at 0.6973. NY extended the slide to a 0.6955 session low as haven USD demand lifted DXY to YTD highs. Since 16:45 UTC price has compressed into a 5-pip box below the 0.6960 range top, still capped by the lower highs trendline, with RSI(14) neutral near 53.

Support: 0.6955, 0.6950, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.6960, 0.6968, 0.6973

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6960 range top breaks the compression; the 0.6968 london low and 0.6973 asian low sit above
  • Failure to hold the 0.6955 session low confirms a lower low toward the 0.6950 round number and 0.6935 uob support
  • Close above the lower highs trendline would end the intraday downtrend read
  • RBA minutes at 00:30 UTC, with Westpac confidence at 23:30 UTC, could materially shift this read in thin Asia liquidity

22:32 UTC

Downtrend, stalling at day low · RSI 58 · price 0.69589

Lower highs/lows through London and NY, flat 0.6955–0.6960 base since late NY.

AUD broke the Asian low at 0.6973 in London and bled lower through NY after the NY high at 0.6975 was rejected. Haven USD demand had DXY pressing YTD highs near 102.60. Since late NY the pair has held a tight base above the 0.6955 day low, with early Asia capped at a 0.6960 range top and RSI(14) recovering to 58.

  • Westpac confidence at 23:30 UTC and RBA minutes at 00:30 UTC could materially shift this read with AUD positioning heavily net short

22:17 UTC

Lower highs from 0.6984; tight 0.6955–0.6960 base since late NY.

AUDUSD broke the Asian range low (0.6973) in the first hour of London and kept printing lower highs through NY, capped at the 0.6975 lower high as haven USD demand dominated. Since the late NY session price has based above the 0.6955 day low, with the range top at 0.6960 coinciding with the descending trendline. RSI(14) is neutral near 55 and ATR has compressed under 2 pips ahead of RBA minutes.

Lower highs and lower lows from London; flat 0.6955–0.6960 box since mid-NY.

London broke the Asian low at 0.6973 as oil-driven haven USD demand and hawkish Fed talk lifted DXY. The slide then ran from the 0.6975 lower high to a 0.69546 session low. Since mid-NY the pair has compressed in a 0.6955–0.6960 box, RSI(14) near 44 and ATR around 16 pips, with the post-NY rollover thin.

  • Close above the 0.69596 box top and the fib 50% at 0.69648 would break the London-NY lower-high sequence
  • Reclaiming the asian low at 0.6973 neutralises the range break
  • Westpac Consumer Confidence at 23:30 UTC and RBA Minutes at 00:30 UTC could materially shift this read

  • Westpac Consumer Confidence at 23:30 UTC and RBA Minutes at 00:30 UTC could break the compression

20:32 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling into late NY · RSI 37 · price 0.6956

Sunday's gap-down open was filled in Asia, but lower highs at 0.6995, 0.6984 and the 0.6975 lower high set a descending trendline. NY broke the 0.6966 Asian low as haven USD demand pushed DXY to YTD highs, and price has since compressed between the 0.6955 session low and a 0.6960 range top. RSI(14) sits near 37 and ATR is about 1.6 pips, so intraday ranges are narrow into the session close.

Lower highs from the 0.6995 Asia peak; tight 0.6955–0.6960 base.

The week opened with a gap lower from 0.6986. Asia bounced to 0.6995, just shy of 0.7000, and that rally was fully reversed through London and NY in a chain of lower highs, capped by the 0.6975 lower high at midday, as USD firmed on oil, Middle East risk and hike pricing. The slide stalled at the 0.6955 session low, and price has been coiling under the 0.6960 range top for the last eight bars with ATR(14) compressing to about 17 pips.

Asia rallied off the 0.6966 gap open to 0.6995, a rejection just shy of 0.7000. A steady chain of lower highs followed through London and NY as USD recovered on Iran tensions and hawkish-Fed pricing. NY broke the gap open and the 0.6960 broken support, printing a 0.6955 session low; the late-NY bounce is shallow with RSI(14) near 35.

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since Asia · RSI 31 · price 0.69583

Lower highs/lower lows from 0.6995 Asia high; Asian low broken, late-NY bounce off day low.

After the weekend gap down, Asia's rally faded at 0.6995, below 0.7000. The pair has printed lower highs since. London-NY broke the 0.6966 Asian low and extended to a 0.6955 day low in thin US-holiday trade as Iran tensions and hawkish-Fed pricing firmed USD. The late-NY bounce is stalling at the 0.6960 bounce high, under trendline resistance, with RSI(14) near 31 and ATR around 2.5 pips.

Rejection at the 0.6995 Asia high below 0.7000 started a lower-high sequence as USD recovered on hawkish-Fed pricing and Iran tensions. London broke the 0.6966 asian low and NY extended to a 0.69546 session low, with late-NY bars bouncing toward 0.6959 under the lower-highs line.

Since then the pair has printed lower highs at 0.6984 and 0.6975 and ground to a 0.6955 session low in NY hours, as USD firmed on hawkish-Fed pricing and Iran headlines. RSI(14) near 27 is approaching oversold with no divergence, and the descending trendline sits by the 0.6966 broken low.

London then broke the Asian range low near 0.6973, and NY has extended a lower-high, lower-low chain along the descending trendline to a 0.6955 session low as USD firmed on Iran tensions. RSI(14) near 23 is oversold, with price below both EMAs and trading through the 0.6960 support area in thin holiday liquidity.

Lower highs since the Asia high at 0.6995 stalled below 0.7000. London broke the Asian range low, and NY rejected the ny high at 0.6975 before grinding to a fresh session low at 0.6957 as USD turned bid on Iran tensions. RSI(14) near 26 with ATR under 3 pips points to a slow bleed in thin holiday trade rather than a flush.

Lower-high chain from 0.6995; weekly open lost, pressing session low.

Asia ran to the 0.6995 asia high but stalled short of 0.7000 again. Every swing since has printed a lower high as the USD firmed on hawkish-Fed pricing and Iran tensions, and thin holiday liquidity has done little to slow the slide. Price broke the 0.6966 weekly open in early NY and is now pressing the 0.6957 session low mid-NY, with RSI(14) near 24.

AUD failed below 0.7000 at the 0.69947 asia high. The USD recovery on Iran tensions and hawkish Fed pricing then drove a clean lower-high sequence: 0.69838, then the 0.69749 lower high at 12:00 UTC.

The weekend gap filled in Asia, with a run to the 0.6995 asia high. London open then broke the Asian range low near 0.6973 as USD firmed on Iran tensions and the Fed's hawkish tilt. In thin, holiday-affected NY hours the 0.6975 lower high was rejected at 12:00 UTC, the 0.6970 prior shelf has flipped to resistance, and price is pressing the 0.6961 session low with RSI(14) near 31.

Lower highs since the 0.6995 Asia peak (the 0.6984 swing high, then the 0.6975 lower high at 12:00 UTC) have driven a steady slide. The first hours of NY have now taken out the Asian low and Monday open at 0.6966, printing a session low near 0.6963 just above the 0.6960 round number. A firm USD on the hawkish Fed and Iran risk is the driver in thin, US-holiday trade; RSI(14) at ~34 is soft but not oversold.

Intraday downtrend, stalling at Friday low · RSI 40 · price 0.69698

Lower highs and lower lows since the Asian high, now a tight base above 0.6967.

Asia filled the weekend gap and ran to an asian high at 0.6995, where it met rejection short of 0.7000. Since then the pair has printed lower highs into the London session, sliding to the 0.6967 friday low on softer AUD risk tone. Price is now compressing in a 3–4 pip band above that floor with RSI(14) near 40, and the US holiday leaves NY liquidity thin.

A lower-high slide hit a 0.6973 session low, and price is back above the 0.6979 shelf into London open. It sits between the 38.2% and 50% of the Asia high-low fib, marginally above both EMAs.

Sunday's ~20-pip opening gap filled inside two hours. Asia then printed a 0.6995 session high, a near two-week high on softer US yields, before rejection under the 0.7000 psych.

Monday's gap open at 0.6966 filled quickly through the fri close at 0.69855. The rally then stalled at a 0.69947 session high, with supply capping it under 0.7000 even as softer US yields gave AUD a lift. Since then a chain of lower highs has broken the 0.6980 prior shelf and printed a 0.69731 session low near the 78.6% fib, and late Asia session price is holding around the 61.8% level with RSI(14) near 36.

Monday's 20-pip weekend gap down to 0.6966 was filled early in the Asia session as the softer USD carried AUDUSD to a 0.6995 session high, where supply capped it shy of the 0.7000 psych level.

Recovery after weekend gap, stalling below prior high · RSI 52 · price 0.69838

Gap fully filled, capped under Friday high.

Asia session opened Monday with a ~20-pip gap down to the 0.6966 gap low. The gap was fully filled within two hours, but the rally met rejection at 0.6987, just under the 0.6988 Friday high. Price is now consolidating above the 0.6981 swing low with RSI(14) near 52, and with no fresh weekend drivers the move reads as a mechanical gap-fill rather than a news-led one.

Support: 0.6981, 0.6976, 0.6966

Resistance: 0.6988, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6988 Friday high opens the 0.7000 round number, the cap flagged into Friday's close
  • Loss of the 0.6981 swing low exposes the 0.6976 fib 50% of the gap-fill leg
  • A return below the 0.6966 gap low would undo the gap fill entirely
  • Fed's Hammack (16:50 UTC) and RBA Minutes (Tue 00:30 UTC) are the next scheduled risks to this read
