20:46 UTC

Intraday downswing from session high, now basing · RSI 55 · price 0.69448

Double top at 0.6967 then double bottom at 0.6936, late-NY range 0.6936–0.6947.

London extended the Asia-session breakout to a 0.6967 session high. A failed retest at 0.6966 in NY formed a double top, and the pair slid to a 0.6936 NY low as USD steadied on Fed-hike bets. Late NY is compressing in a 10-pip band below the 0.6947 range top, sitting just above the 23.6% fib of the drop, with RSI(14) neutral near 55 and ATR(14) about 4 pips.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6916

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6952, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6947 range top opens the 38.2% fib and the 0.6952 swing low (13:45 UTC pivot)
  • Break of the 0.6936 ny low voids the double bottom and exposes the 0.6916 asian low
  • Reclaiming 0.6967 session high would negate the double top
  • Friday close into weekend IMF meetings raises gap risk at the open

20:32 UTC

Down from day high, late-NY recovery · RSI 50 · price 0.69457

Lower high at 0.6966, double base at 0.6936, higher lows since.

London's push above the Asian range stalled at the 0.6966 day high, and NY gave the move back to a double base at the 0.6936 ny low as the USD steadied on Fed hike bets. Late NY has printed higher lows into 0.6947, where the asian high meets the 38.2% fib of the day-high selloff, with ATR(14) compressed near 4 pips into the Friday close.

Support: 0.6941, 0.6936

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6966

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.6947 (asian high / 38.2% fib) opens the 50% retrace near 0.6952
  • Break of the higher low trendline near 0.6941 returns focus to the 0.6936 ny low
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 ny low negates the double bottom read
  • Weekend IMF meetings and Fed-speak headlines could gap the Monday open

20:16 UTC

Pullback from session high, stabilising late NY · RSI 49 · price 0.69449

Double top at 0.6966-67, lower low to 0.6936, tight base below Asian high.

London extended the break of the Asian high to a 0.6967 session high as US yields eased, but a second test at 0.6966 in NY was rejected. Price then fell to the 0.6936 NY low as the USD steadied on Fed hike bets. Late NY is basing between 0.6936 and 0.6945, just under the Asian high at 0.6949 and the 38.2% retrace of the double-top drop.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6918

Resistance: 0.6949, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 0.6949 Asian high and the 38.2% retrace reopens 0.6958 and the 0.6967 session high
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 NY low confirms a lower low and exposes the 0.6918 Asian low
  • Friday close and weekend IMF meetings bring gap risk into the Monday open

20:03 UTC

Intraday downswing from session high, late-NY basing · RSI 48 · price 0.69448

Double top at 0.6966-67, lower low at 0.6936, tight rising-lows consolidation below 0.6951.

London broke above the Asian range to a session high at 0.6967, and the NY retest at 0.6966 was rejected. That double top gave way below 0.6951 old support at 15:45 UTC, with the drop to the 0.6936 NY low coming as the USD steadied on hawkish Fed expectations. Late NY is basing on rising lows near 0.6941, capped just under the fib 38.2 at 0.6948 with RSI(14) flat near 48.

Support: 0.69414, 0.6936

Resistance: 0.69478, 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.6951 old support (fib 50%) reopens the 0.6967 session high
  • Failure to hold the rising lows at 0.6941 exposes the 0.6936 NY low; a break below it confirms a lower-low
  • Weekend IMF meetings (Oct 17–18) bring headline and Monday gap risk into a thin weekly close

19:47 UTC

Intraday pullback after double top, compressing · RSI 44 · price 0.69418

Lower highs from 0.6967, holding 0.6936 NY low.

Asia broke the overnight 0.6915–0.6925 range and London extended to a 0.6967 session high, but the 12:45 UTC retest failed for a double top. As the USD steadied on hawkish Fed expectations, NY shed about 30 pips to the 0.6936 NY low, near the 61.8% fib of the Asia-London leg. Late-Friday price is compressing between 0.6936 and the 0.6947 Asian high, capped by EMA20 near 0.6945.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6929

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6952, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6947 Asian high and 0.6952 London low breaks the lower-highs line
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 NY low exposes the 0.6929 spike base
  • Retest of the 0.6967 double top would require reclaiming the full NY-session drop
  • Thin weekly-close liquidity and weekend IMF meeting headlines could gap the open

19:31 UTC

Intraday downtrend, decline stalling late NY · RSI 47 · price 0.69446

Lower highs below 0.6951 broken floor; base at 0.6936 NY low.

London set the session high at 0.6967. NY's retest at 0.6966 failed, forming a double top that broke the 0.6951 broken floor as the USD steadied on hawkish-Fed expectations. Late in NY hours price is consolidating above the 0.6936 NY low (tested twice), capped by the 0.6947 bounce high near the 38.2% retrace, with lower highs intact.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6951 broken floor (50% retrace) breaks the lower-highs sequence
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 NY low exposes the 0.6926 Asia base, where the Asian-session spike began
  • 0.6967 session high stays the cap unless the double top is reclaimed
  • Thin liquidity into the weekly close and IMF meetings Oct 17–18 could materially shift this read at the open

19:16 UTC

Downtrend from London high, late-NY stabilising · RSI 44 · price 0.6944

Double top broke its neckline; lower highs, twin lows at 0.6936.

A double top at 0.6967 (London high, retested in NY) gave way below the 0.6951 neckline as the USD steadied on hawkish Fed expectations and firm US data. Price slid to twin lows at 0.6936, and the late-NY bounce is stalling under the 0.6947 bounce high and the descending highs line. RSI(14) is near 44 and ATR runs about 5 pips.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 0.6936 twin lows extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.6926 asia base
  • A reclaim of the 0.6947 bounce high and the descending highs line opens a retest of the 0.6951 neckline near the 50% fib of the NY sell-off
  • Liquidity is thin into the Friday close; weekend IMF meeting headlines on Fed pricing could shift this read at the open

19:04 UTC

Intraday downtrend from 0.6967 high, momentum easing · RSI 37 · price 0.69407

Lower highs since London peak; double-top neckline broken, price back inside Asian range.

AUD/USD faded from the 0.6967 day high set in London as the USD steadied on hawkish-Fed expectations. A lower high at 0.6966 in NY completed a double top, and the break of the 0.6951 neckline pulled price back below the 0.6947 Asian high. Late NY trade is holding just above the 0.6936 session low, tested twice, with RSI(14) near 37.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6918

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6947 Asian high (38.2% fib) tests the descending trendline from the NY lower high
  • Reclaim of the 0.6951 neckline would negate the double top read
  • Failure at the 0.6936 session low exposes the 0.6918 Asian low
  • Thin late-Friday liquidity; IMF meetings Oct 17–18 and Fed-speak headlines could shift this read at the open

18:47 UTC

Intraday downtrend, basing late NY · RSI 37 · price 0.69422

Double top 0.6966-67 broken, lower highs, base at 0.6936.

A double top at the 0.6967 day high gave way through the 0.6951 neckline during NY hours as the USD steadied on the industrial production and import price beats, unwinding AUD's earlier gains. Demand has held the 0.6936 session low three times since, and price is now chopping between 0.6936 and the 0.6947 bounce high, back inside the Asian range, under the NY downtrend line.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6916

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6936 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6916 asian low
  • Recovery above the 0.6947 bounce high and the NY downtrend line opens a retest of the 0.6951 neckline / 50% fib
  • Thin liquidity into the weekend close; IMF or Fed headlines and the pending US Budget Statement could shift this read

18:32 UTC

Intraday downtrend, basing at session low · RSI 35 · price 0.69395

Double top at 0.6967/0.6966, neckline 0.6951 broken; lower highs into 0.6936.

London extended the Asian-range breakout to a 0.6967 session high, but the NY retest at 0.6966 met rejection and the 15:45 UTC break of the 0.6951 neckline completed a double top as the USD steadied on hawkish Fed pricing. Late NY, price is holding a 0.6936 session low twice and is back inside the Asian range. RSI(14) sits near 35 and the 0.6947 Asian high plus the descending highs line cap the bounce.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6918

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6947 Asian high, which aligns with the 38.2% fib of the 0.6967–0.6936 drop, breaks the descending highs line and opens a retest of the 0.6951 neckline
  • Reclaim of the 0.6951 neckline negates the double top read; the 0.6967 session high is the next cap
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6918 Asian low
  • Friday close in thin post-London liquidity; weekend IMF/Fed headlines could shift this read at the reopen

18:16 UTC

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since NY open · RSI 31 · price 0.69395

Double top at 0.6967/0.6966, broke 0.6951 swing low, basing at 0.6936 NY low.

London extended the Asia spike to a 0.6967 day high as US yields eased, but the NY retest at 0.6966 failed and price broke the 0.6951 swing low, completing a double top. Lower highs since then have capped price under the descending trendline, and two touches of the 0.6936 NY low are holding late in the Friday NY session with RSI(14) near 31.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6929

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6936 NY low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6929 asia base
  • Reclaim of the 0.6947 asian high and the descending trendline breaks the lower-high sequence; the 0.6951 swing low sits just above
  • Thin Friday close: weekend IMF headlines and Fed-speak raise gap risk around the 0.6967 day high / 0.6936 range

18:03 UTC

Intraday downtrend from session high, lower highs in NY · RSI 32 · price 0.69384

Double top at 0.6967, neckline at 0.6951 broken, lower-high sequence.

The Asia–London rally, driven by USD softness, carried price out of the Asian range and topped twice near 0.6967 (double top). NY broke the 0.6951 neckline and ran to a 0.6936 ny low. The rebound stalled at the 0.6947 bounce high, near the 38.2% fib and the lower-high trendline, and price is back on the ny low late in the NY session with RSI(14) near 32.

Support: 0.69363, 0.69157

Resistance: 0.69466, 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6936 ny low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.6916 asian low
  • Recovery above the 0.6951 neckline negates the double top read
  • Break of the lower-high trendline through the 0.6947 bounce high shifts structure back to range
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and thin Friday-close liquidity could distort late NY prints

17:46 UTC

Short-term downtrend, lower highs off session high · RSI 37 · price 0.69425

Double top at 0.6966/0.6967, lower-high/lower-low sequence through NY.

The Asia and London rally from 0.6917 topped out in a double top at 0.6966/0.6967. NY then gave back the London gains, carving lower highs down to a 0.6936 NY low, back inside the Asian range despite the broad post-Warsh USD softness. The late-NY bounce stalled at 0.6947, just under the Asian high and the 38.2% fib of the NY drop, with price now below both EMAs.

Support: 0.6936, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.6947, 0.6951, 0.6967

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6951 prior low and the NY trendline breaks the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 0.6936 NY low extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6926 asia base
  • Rejection again at the 0.6947 asian high and 38.2% fib keeps the NY downtrend structure intact
  • US Budget Statement 18:00 UTC and thin late-Friday liquidity can exaggerate moves around these levels

17:32 UTC

Intraday downtrend off the session high, momentum stretched · RSI 32 · price 0.69395

Double top at 0.6967/0.6966, neckline 0.6951 broken; lower highs and lower lows through late NY.

London extended the Asian breakout to a 0.6967 session high. NY's retest at 0.6966 failed and formed a double top, and price broke the 0.6951 neckline and slid 30 pips to the 0.6936 NY low. RSI(14) sits near 32 as the USD-led bounce stalls, with soft Aussie jobs data still capping AUD.

Support: 0.69363, 0.6926, 0.6900

Resistance: 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6936 ny low exposes the 0.6926 asia base and then the 0.6900 round number
  • Recovery through the 0.6951 neckline (50% retrace of the session high-to-low drop) would neutralise the double top read
  • Friday liquidity thins after NY close; the US Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC is the only scheduled event left

17:16 UTC

Intraday downtrend, accelerating into late NY · RSI 29 · price 0.6937

Lower highs and lower lows below the broken 0.6951 neckline.

A double top formed at 0.6966-67, with the London high retested at 14:45 UTC. It gave way in the NY afternoon, breaking the 0.6951 neckline and the 0.6942 breakdown area, and has erased most of the Asian-session spike. Price now sits at 0.6937 with a clean lower-high sequence and RSI(14) near 29, as the USD-led bounce on softer yields fades and the soft AU jobs data keeps a lid on AUD.

Support: 0.6929, 0.6916, 0.6900

Resistance: 0.6942, 0.6951

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.6942 breakdown area and the lower-high trendline would stall the NY sell-off
  • Reclaim of the 0.6951 neckline, the 50% of the NY sell-off fib, negates the double-top read
  • Failure to hold the 0.6929 spike base exposes the 0.6916 asian low and the 0.6900 round number
  • Friday late-NY liquidity is thinning; US Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and weekend IMF meetings are the remaining event risk

17:04 UTC

Intraday downtrend after session-high rejection · RSI 36 · price 0.69434

Double top at 0.6967, lower highs since, NY low being pressed.

The USD-softness rally that carried AUDUSD from the 0.6938 swing low to a 0.6967 session high stalled in London, and the NY retest at 0.6966 formed a double top. The 15:45 UTC break of the 0.6951 broken low extended to a 0.6942 NY low, which sits at the 78.6% of the London rally fib, RSI(14) at 36, with lower highs along the descending line after London close.

Support: 0.69415, 0.69375, 0.69175

Resistance: 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6942 NY low opens the 0.6938 swing low, then the 0.6918 Asian low
  • Recovery above the 0.6951 broken low and the descending line negates the lower-high sequence; the 0.6967 session high caps above
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and the Friday close into weekend IMF headlines could shift this read

16:46 UTC

Intraday pullback, lower highs during NY · RSI 37 · price 0.69447

Double top at 0.6966-67, neckline broken, London gains unwound.

London extended the Asian spike to a 0.6967 session high, but NY printed a lower high at 0.6966 and broke the 0.6951 neckline. The resulting double top has retraced roughly 75% of the Asia-London leg and pushed price back below the 0.6948 asian high, with RSI(14) near 37 and the USD-yield-driven AUD bounce stalling.

Support: 0.69423, 0.69375, 0.6930

Resistance: 0.69475, 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • A break below the 0.6942 ny low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.6938 swing low and the 0.6930 round number
  • A recovery above the 0.6951 neckline negates the double top read
  • A close above the ny down line from 0.6966 breaks the NY lower-high chain
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC; the thin calendar into the weekly close limits event risk

16:31 UTC

Intraday uptrend stalled, NY pullback deepening · RSI 37 · price 0.69462

Double top at 0.6967 then NY break of the 0.6951 London-NY floor; lower high at 0.6966.

The Asia spike off the 0.6929 asia base, on softer US yields after Warsh, ran to a London double top at 0.6967. NY then printed a lower high at 0.6966 and broke the 0.6951 broken floor to a 0.6943 session low. Price is sitting on the 50% fib of the 0.6926–0.6967 advance, RSI(14) at 37.

Support: 0.69431, 0.69375, 0.6929

Resistance: 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above 0.6951 broken floor negates the range break
  • Failure at 0.6943 session low exposes the 0.69375 swing low and 61.8% fib near 0.6942
  • Loss of 0.6929 asia base fully unwinds the Asia advance
  • US Monthly Budget Statement 18:00 UTC and thin Friday-close liquidity could exaggerate moves

16:16 UTC

Intraday pullback, below EMA20/50 · RSI 42 · price 0.69483

Double top at session high, London low broken.

NY session printed a rejection at 0.6966, forming a double top with the London high. Price then broke the 0.6951 London low and sank back to the top of the Asian range, despite the broadly softer USD tone after Warsh. Price is steadying just above the 0.6943 session low, about 62% back into the London leg on the fib, with RSI(14) near 42.

Support: 0.69431, 0.69375

Resistance: 0.6951, 0.69669

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.6951 london low negates the range break
  • Failure to hold the 0.6943 session low exposes the 0.6938 asia swing low and the London leg fib 78.6% zone
  • Recovery through the 0.6967 double top would invalidate the reversal read
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC, thin calendar into the weekend

16:03 UTC

Intraday uptrend stalled, turning lower · RSI 38 · price 0.6948

Double top at 0.6966-67, neckline 0.6951 broken; testing Asian high.

AUD climbed out of the Asian range as the USD softened on lower yields after Warsh, and London set the 0.6967 session high. The NY retest at 0.6966 was rejected, completing a double top, and the 15:45 UTC bar broke the 0.6951 neckline. Price now sits on the Asian high and the 38.2% fib at 0.6947, with RSI(14) near 38.

Support: 0.6947, 0.6941, 0.6938

Resistance: 0.6951, 0.6966

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 0.6951 neckline negates the double top break
  • Failure to hold the 0.6947 Asian high / 38.2% exposes the 0.6941 fib 50% and the 0.6938 swing low
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and Fed commentary at the weekend IMF meetings could shift USD tone
  • Post-London-close liquidity is thin, so moves through 0.6947 may extend further than the ~4.7-pip ATR

15:47 UTC

Intraday uptrend stalling below session high · RSI 46 · price 0.69566

0.6951–0.6967 range above broken Asian high, rising lows intact.

London cleared the Asian range high at 0.6949 and set a 0.6967 session high. Softer US yields after Warsh drove the move. NY retested the high at 0.6966 and was rejected, leaving price mid-range near the 38.2% fib of the London leg, with RSI(14) flat near 46. The 0.6951 swing low sits on the 50% fib and the rising lows line from the 0.6938 asia pivot.

Support: 0.6951, 0.6938

Resistance: 0.6967, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6951 swing low breaks the rising lows and turns the twin session highs into a double top, exposing the 0.6938 asia pivot
  • M15 close above the 0.6967 session high opens the path to 0.7000 psych
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and Friday weekly close into weekend IMF Fed commentary could shift this read

15:31 UTC

Intraday uptrend stalling below the session high · RSI 48 · price 0.69568

0.6951–0.6967 range since London; NY lower high at 0.6966.

London broke the Asian high at 0.6949 on broad USD softness after Warsh and set a 0.6967 session high. The pullback held the 0.6951 range floor near the 50% retrace of the London leg. NY's push back to 0.6966 was rejected, leaving a lower high with RSI(14) flat near 48.

Support: 0.6951, 0.6949

Resistance: 0.6967, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close below the 0.6951 range floor breaks the range and puts the 0.6949 Asian high / 61.8% fib in play
  • A close above the 0.6967 session high voids the lower-high read and opens the path toward 0.7000 psych
  • The US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and thin pre-weekend liquidity after London close can distort the range edges

15:16 UTC

Range-bound after Asia rally, NY pushes stalling · RSI 51 · price 0.6959

0.6951–0.6967 range since London; lower high at 0.6966 vs session high.

AUD/USD has held a 0.6951–0.6967 range since London, after the Asia-session jump through 0.6930 as US yields slipped post-Warsh. NY held the 0.6951 ny low twice, close to the 50% retrace of the 0.6938–0.6967 leg, but the latest push was rejected at 0.6966 just under the session high; RSI(14) is neutral near 51.

Support: 0.6951, 0.6949

Resistance: 0.6967, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6967 session high breaks the range top; the 0.7000 psych level is the next reference above
  • Loss of the 0.6951 ny low and the rising support line exposes the 0.6949 asian high and the Asia breakout zone
  • Friday London close and thinning late-NY liquidity into the weekend; the US Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC is typically low impact

HL chain 0.6938 → 0.6951, retesting day high.

AUD climbed through the Asian high at 0.6947 during London on softer USD after Warsh, topping at the 0.6967 day high. The NY dip held 0.6951 twice at the 50% of the London leg fib, and price is back testing the day high with RSI(14) near 60.

Higher low at 0.6951 above the Asian high, rebounding toward 0.6967.

Falling US yields after Warsh lifted AUD out of the 0.6916–0.6949 Asian range. London extended the move to a 0.6967 session high. Early NY pulled back to retest the Asian high zone, and demand held a 0.6951 NY low four times; price is now back at 0.6960 with RSI(14) neutral near 53.

Lower highs from 0.6967 against an NY low near 0.6951, compressing.

London open broke the Asian high at 0.6947 and ran to a 0.6967 session high as softer yields kept USD heavy. Since then the pair has printed lower highs under 0.6961, with the NY low at 0.6951 holding twice near the 50% fib of the 0.6938 pre-ldn low to session high leg. Price sits on EMA20 with RSI(14) near 46, and today's US IP and import-price beats have not lifted the dollar.

HH/HL chain since yesterday's 0.6894 low; London broke above the Asian range and is compressing at the top.

AUDUSD has recovered about 67 pips from yesterday's 0.6894 low after the US data, and broke the 0.6948 asian high at London open as the USD softened after Warsh's non-committal remarks. Mid-London, price is compressing in a 6-pip band between the 0.6955 london low and the 0.6961 session high, with RSI(14) near 73 and ATR at about 4 pips.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6961 session high opens the path to the 0.7000 psych level

Asian range break higher, HH/HL chain intact, tight consolidation.

Softer USD after Warsh carried AUD/USD off Thursday's sub-0.6900 data lows. London open cleared the 0.6947 asian high to a 0.6961 session high. Price is now compressing in a 0.6955–0.6961 band above the london low, with RSI(14) near 67 and rising support from the 0.6938 swing low intact.

Uptrend, first pullback after London push · RSI 64 · price 0.69565

Higher lows since NY low; Asian range broken higher.

London open broke above the Asian high at 0.69475 and printed a session high at 0.69613. USD softness after Warsh's non-committal IMF remarks extended the bounce from yesterday's NY low near 0.6894. Price is easing to 0.6956 with RSI(14) cooling to ~64, and the higher-lows chain is intact above the 0.69375 swing low.

Support: 0.69475, 0.69375

Resistance: 0.69613, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Pullback losing the asian high at 0.69475 would turn the London breakout into a false break
  • M15 close below the 0.69375 swing low breaks the higher-lows chain

Uptrend, extending at London open · RSI 72 · price 0.6960

HH/HL chain since Thursday's 0.6894 NY low; Asian high broken.

Warsh's non-committal IMF remarks and softer yields lifted the pair through the Asian session, with a 03:45 UTC spike to the 0.6947 Asian high. London open broke that level and printed a 0.6961 session high, RSI(14) near 72. Successive higher lows at 0.6926 and the 0.6938 swing low keep the intraday sequence intact.

Support: 0.69475, 0.69375

Resistance: 0.69613, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Hold of the 0.6947 Asian high on any pullback keeps the London breakout valid; a drop back inside the Asian range reads as a false break
  • M15 close below the 0.6938 swing low (near the 38.2% fib) breaks the higher-low chain
  • 0.7000 round number capped Wednesday's high, 40 pips above the session high

Higher lows; Asian range high broken at London open.

London open cleared the 0.6948 Asian high and stretched the post-Warsh relief bounce to a 0.6961 session high as the USD stays heavy. RSI(14) is near 70 and the higher-low trendline off the 0.6938 swing low is intact. The 0.7000 round number that capped the week sits about 40 pips above.

Support: 0.69475, 0.69375

Uptrend, extended near session high · RSI 74 · price 0.6958

HH/HL chain; overnight high broken at London open.

London open broke the 0.6947 overnight high, which capped three times in late Asia, and the London leg ran from the 0.6938 swing low to a 0.6961 session high as broad USD softness after Warsh's non-committal remarks carried through. RSI(14) near 74, hot but not stretched, and a rising trendline from the 0.6926 spike base sits under the move.

Support: 0.6947, 0.6938, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.6961, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Holding above the 0.6947 overnight high keeps the breakout intact; an M15 close back below it reads as a false break
  • Loss of the 0.6938 swing low and the rising trendline breaks the HH/HL chain and exposes the 0.6926 spike base
  • 0.6961 session high is first resistance, then the 0.7000 psych level where Wednesday's rally was rejected

Uptrend, extending into London · RSI 68 · price 0.69556

Higher highs and higher lows since the 0.6916 Asian low.

The non-committal Warsh speech and broad USD softness lifted the pair from 0.6933 to 0.6947 in Asia. London open then broke that prior high to a 0.6956 session high, clearing the 0.6945-0.6950 cap and extending a higher-low chain off the 0.6916 asian low. RSI(14) near 68 is firm but not stretched.

Support: 0.69475, 0.69375, 0.69157

What it said to watch

  • A failed retest of the 0.6948 prior high turns the London breakout into a false break
  • An M15 close below the 0.6938 swing low breaks the higher-lows chain and exposes the asian low at 0.6916

Intraday uptrend, extending into London open · RSI 73 · price 0.69507

Higher-low chain from 0.6894; Asian high at 0.6948 being tested from above.

AUDUSD has fully reversed Thursday's post-data flush to 0.6894, grinding higher through Asia on a softer USD after Warsh's non-committal remarks. The spike stalled at the 0.6948 Asian high, and the pullback held at the 0.6938 swing low, right on the 38.2% fib. The London open is now pressing just above the Asian high into the 0.6950 rally cap. RSI(14) near 73 is warm but not stretched.

Resistance: 0.69508, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 0.6948 Asian high would mark a false break of the Asian range
  • Losing the 0.6938 swing low (38.2% fib, rising-lows line) breaks the higher-low chain
  • A break of the 0.6926 pre-spike low unwinds the Warsh move
  • Sustained trade above the 0.6951 session high leaves 0.7000 psych as the next cap

Uptrend, stalling under Asian high · RSI 62 · price 0.69466

Impulsive Asian breakout, then a tight range below 0.6948 with a higher low at 0.6937.

Warsh's non-committal remarks during the Asia session lifted AUDUSD about 18 pips through the 0.6933 range top. The 0.6947–0.6948 Asian high has capped four bars since, just under the 0.6950 round number. The pullback held a higher low at 0.6937, and price is back at the cap into the London open, about 53 pips off the 0.6894 NY low after the jobs-driven selloff.

Intraday uptrend, stalling below session high · RSI 64 · price 0.69435

Asia breakout above 0.6933, flat top at 0.69475, shallow pullback holding.

Asia session broke above its 0.6916–0.6933 range with a one-bar spike from the 0.6926 spike base to 0.6947, as USD eased after Warsh's non-committal remarks. Three tests of the 0.69475 session high have capped since. The pullback held the 0.69375 swing low, above the 38.2% fib of the Asian leg, and price is basing there into London open.

Support: 0.69375, 0.69333, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.69475, 0.6950

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.69475 session high puts the 0.6950 psych level in play, a zone the digest flags as a rally cap
  • Loss of the 0.69375 swing low exposes the 0.69333 breakout lvl; a close back below it unwinds the Asia breakout toward the 0.6926 spike base
  • London open is due shortly and typically resets the session range

Asia uptrend, fading off spike high · RSI 54 · price 0.69388

Warsh spike capped at 0.6947, pulling back into retrace.

Warsh's non-committal speech lifted AUDUSD about 20 pips off the 0.6926 spike base, but three bars stalled at the 0.6947 Asia high, which matches yesterday's London-open high. Price has since drifted back to the 38.2% retrace of the spike near 0.6939, with the ema20 at 0.6937 being tested in the last hour of the Asia session, ahead of London open.

Support: 0.69367, 0.6926, 0.68939

Resistance: 0.69475, 0.6950

What it said to watch

  • Hold of the ema20 at 0.6937, which sits on the 50% retrace, keeps the post-Warsh higher-low structure intact
  • M15 close back above the 0.6947 Asia high exposes the 0.6950 round number
  • Loss of the 0.6926 spike base unwinds the Warsh move and puts the 0.6894 NY low back in view

Post-spike uptrend, stalling below session high · RSI 63 · price 0.69409

Warsh-driven breakout from the Asian range, now a tight pullback under a triple-tested cap.

Warsh's non-committal speech at 03:30 UTC added to USD softness and lifted AUD out of the 0.6916–0.6933 Asian range from a spike base at 0.6926 to a session high at 0.69475. Price has failed three times at 0.69475, the 0.6945–0.6950 cap flagged in the macro read, and is easing to the 0.6941 pullback low ahead of London open. The rising Asia trendline and the fib 61.8% both sit near the 0.6933 breakout level.

Support: 0.69407, 0.69333, 0.6926

Resistance: 0.69475, 0.69508

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.69475 session high exposes the 0.69508 prior high and the 0.6950 cap
  • Failure to hold the 0.6941 pullback low opens the fib 50%–61.8% zone at 0.6937–0.6934
  • Close back below the 0.6933 breakout and the Asia rising trendline puts the spike base at 0.6926 back in focus
  • London open could set direction from this tight range

Short-term uptrend, stalling below 0.6950 · RSI 66 · price 0.6943

Asian range broken higher on Warsh spike, tight consolidation under the high.

Warsh's non-committal remarks at 03:30 UTC lifted the pair out of the 0.6916–0.6925 Asian range to the 0.6947 Warsh high. That move recovered most of yesterday's NY drop to 0.6894 after the hot US PPI. Late Asia is consolidating just under that high, with RSI(14) cooling from the mid-70s. The 0.6941 swing low and the rising support line from the Asian low are holding the pullback for now.

Support: 0.69407, 0.69333, 0.6927

Resistance: 0.69475, 0.69508

What it said to watch

AUDUSD jumped about 18 pips at 03:45 UTC from the 0.6926 spike base, clearing the 0.6933 breakout level as USD softened after Warsh's non-committal remarks. Price was then rejected three times at the 0.69475 session high and is now drifting toward the 0.6941 post-spike low ahead of London open, with RSI(14) cooling to about 66.

Late in the Asia session, an 18-pip spike off the 0.6926 spike base cleared the 0.6933 breakout level after Warsh's non-committal remarks. It extends the rebound from the 0.6894 low printed after yesterday's hot US PPI. Price is now holding a tight 0.6941–0.6948 band, with the session high capping four tests and RSI(14) near 68.

  • Loss of the 0.6941 spike low exposes the 0.6933 breakout level, near 50% of the Asia rally fib. Below the 0.6926 spike base, the breakout reads as a false break.

Modest USD selling after Warsh's non-committal remarks lifted AUD out of the 0.6915–0.6925 Asian range late in the Asia session. The 03:45 UTC bar ran roughly 18 pips through the 0.6933 breakout level, but price has since been capped three times at the 0.6948 session high, with RSI(14) near 72.

Late in the Asia session, an 18-pip spike at 03:45 UTC cleared the 0.6918–0.6933 Asian range as the USD softened on Fed Chair Warsh's non-committal remarks. The move extends the rally and higher-low chain off yesterday's 0.6894 NY low. Price is now pinned under the 0.6948 session high, which has been tested three times, with RSI(14) near 73 and the 0.6941 spike low holding.

Price is holding just under that high, with the spike low at 0.6941 below. RSI(14) at 74 is firm but not extreme, and the 0.6933 breakout level sits near the 61.8% of the spike fib.

The follow-up bar pulled back to 0.6941 and is holding there, with RSI(14) near 71 after the move.

  • Clearing the 0.6933 session high puts the 0.6943 breakdown level from yesterday's London selloff in play

Higher lows since NY low; Asian range broken higher.

Mid-Asia session, price cleared the 0.6918–0.6926 Asian range and the NY high to print a session high at 0.6933, with RSI(14) near 78. The move extends the rebound from the 0.6894 prior low set after Thursday's AU jobs miss, helped by a softer USD as yields fall. The Asian high at 0.6926 is first support, and the London pivot at 0.6943 sits overhead.
