Lower highs, consolidating above 0.7000.

AUDUSD sold off ~80 pips into a sub-0.7000 spike low after Wednesday's hawkish FOMC repriced the Fed toward a September hike. Price has since clawed back into a 0.7000-0.7040 consolidation but lower highs persist, with two attempts to reclaim 0.7037-0.7041 capped during NY hours. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) hovering mid-40s.

AUDUSD shed roughly 80 pips into mid-week as the hawkish FOMC repricing hit the high-beta Aussie, breaking below the prior 0.7060-0.7075 base. The recovery attempt stalled at 0.7037 and price has since drifted back toward the 0.7000 handle, holding below both H1 EMAs. Lower highs remain the dominant structure with RSI sitting in the low 40s.

Lower highs, ranging 0.7000-0.7040 since the drop.

AUDUSD shed roughly 80 pips into a sub-0.70 spike low at 0.69946 after the hawkish FOMC flip mid-week, then clawed back to a 0.7037 recovery high as a softer USD and US-Iran de-risking lifted risk appetite. Price has since drifted back toward the 0.7000 handle, trading below EMA20 and EMA50 which have crossed bearish on the impulse. Structure is a post-FOMC range with lower highs capped by 0.7037 and 0.7050.

AUDUSD held a tight 0.7065-0.7085 band through midweek before the hawkish FOMC drop sliced through 0.7050 to a 0.6995 spike low in a single NY session. The subsequent bounce stalled at 0.7037, and price has since drifted back to the 0.7013 area on a string of lower highs, trading below both H1 EMAs with RSI(14) capped under 50.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7037, 0.7050

AUDUSD broke down through the week's 0.7070-0.7088 base after the hawkish FOMC dot-plot flip, spiking sub-0.7000 before reclaiming the handle. The recovery has stalled into a series of lower highs capped around 0.7035, with price now hovering near 0.7013 below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). RSI(14) sits mid-40s, reflecting the soft, range-bound tone since the NY-session drop.

AUD/USD broke down after Wednesday's hawkish FOMC, shedding roughly 80 pips through the 0.7050 pivot to a 0.6994 spike low. Since then it has consolidated the 0.7000–0.7040 band below EMA20, with each bounce capping at lower highs and RSI(14) holding sub-50. The 0.7040 lower-high and 0.7000 psychological handle remain the week's battleground.

Since then it has consolidated 0.7000-0.7037 with RSI(14) stuck in the mid-40s, capped by a descending series of lower highs and trading below both H1 EMA(20) and EMA(50).

Lower highs, holding 0.7000 handle.

AUDUSD shed ~80 pips into the NY session midweek after the hawkish Fed flip, spiking to a 0.69946 low before a US-Iran de-risking bounce lifted price back toward 0.7037.

Price has since clawed back to the 0.7000-0.7037 band but sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) capped in the mid-40s.

Lower highs below FOMC breakdown.

AUDUSD broke down hard on Wednesday's hawkish-hold Fed, slicing through 0.7050 to briefly under 0.7000 before US-Iran de-escalation aided a bounce back toward 0.7040. Since then NY hours have faded that recovery back to ~0.7020, leaving price under EMA20/EMA50 with a series of lower highs at 0.7041, 0.7037 and 0.7035. RSI(14) is mid-40s, reflecting a corrective bounce that has lost steam.

Post-break basing above 0.7000.

Wednesday's hawkish-Fed flip drove the sharp H1 break through 0.7050 and briefly under 0.7000, leaving price below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). Since then a US-Iran de-escalation and softer USD have fuelled a grind back toward 0.7037, but each push has stalled and price has slipped back to 0.7020. Higher lows off 0.69946 keep the recovery intact while 0.7000 holds.

AUDUSD was slammed roughly 80 pips lower through the 0.7050 pivot on Wednesday's hawkish-Warsh FOMC, printing a week low at 0.69946 before clawing back toward 0.7025. Price is grinding just above a recovering EMA20 but stays below EMA50, with the lower-highs structure from the 0.70879 week high still intact.

Two probes of 0.7000 (lows 0.69946 then 0.70006) held, and price has recovered to 0.7024, reclaiming EMA20 but still capped well below EMA50. RSI(14) has lifted off oversold but sits sub-50, consistent with corrective rather than impulsive recovery.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

AUD/USD lost its Monday-Wednesday 0.7060–0.7088 range when the hawkish Warsh FOMC flip dragged price ~80 pips through 0.7050 and briefly below 0.7000 into the NY session. Since then it has based twice around 0.7000 and recovered toward 0.7040, but lower highs are capping the bounce, leaving price wedged inside 0.7000–0.7040. RSI(14) has lifted off its post-drop low back toward the midline as the selling stalls.

Price has clawed back to the 0.7015 area but remains pinned below EMA20 and EMA50, with each bounce printing lower highs into 0.7041 then 0.7033. The 0.7000 handle has so far held as support after the post-FOMC washout.

Lower highs and lower lows below 0.7040.

AUDUSD rolled over hard into the NY session after the Fed's hawkish dot-path flip, breaking the 0.7050 shelf and printing a low just under 0.7000 before a US-Iran risk-on bounce lifted it back to 0.7040. That recovery has since faded into a sequence of lower highs, with price now grinding the 0.7000 handle again and holding below both EMAs. RSI(14) sits in the low 40s, recovering from oversold but with no upside reclaim yet.

Lower highs since FOMC, testing 0.7000.

Price knifed through 0.7000 to 0.69946 during Wednesday's hawkish-Fed slide, then recovered toward 0.7040 on the US-Iran de-escalation USD softness. That bounce has since faded into a sequence of lower highs and price sits back on the 0.7000 handle, holding below both EMA(20) and EMA(50). RSI(14) near 37 reflects the loss of upside momentum into the NY session.

Lower highs into 0.7000 handle.

Wednesday's hawkish Fed flip slammed AUD through the 0.7050 pivot and briefly below the 0.7000 psych handle to 0.69946 before a corrective bounce stalled near 0.70412.

Lower highs into 0.7000 retest.

Lower highs, lower lows since FOMC break.

AUDUSD broke down hard through 0.7050 on Wednesday's hawkish Fed dot-flip, spiking to a 0.69946 week low before a softer USD and US-Iran de-escalation funded a corrective bounce to the 0.7040 region. That recovery stalled at lower highs around 0.70334–0.70412 and price has since rolled back toward 0.7000, now trading below both EMA20 and EMA50. RSI sits in the low 40s, consistent with the corrective-within-downtrend read.

Downtrend, corrective bounce fading · RSI 41 · price 0.70142

Lower highs below broken 0.7050 pivot.

AUDUSD broke down through the 0.7050 pivot on Wednesday's hawkish Fed dot-flip, with the NY session driving an ~80 pip leg that swept sub-0.7000 (low 0.69946) before clawing back to 0.70412. That recovery has since faded — price trades back at 0.70142, under both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI sub-50. The structure remains a sequence of lower highs capped beneath the broken pivot.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70225, 0.70412, 0.7050

Downtrend after Fed-driven break · RSI 37 · price 0.70097

Lower highs, retesting 0.7000.

The hawkish Fed dot-plot flip slammed AUDUSD ~80 pips through 0.7050 to a sub-0.7000 low at 0.69946 on Wednesday. The corrective bounce to 0.7040 has faded under a series of lower highs through the NY session, and price is now back retesting the 0.7000 handle with RSI(14) sub-40 and price below both EMAs.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 0.69946 confirms a fresh lower low
  • Reclaim of 0.70412 needed to break the lower-highs structure
  • AU Trimmed Mean CPI (Jun 24) is the key event risk for this read

Downtrend after Fed break, corrective bounce fading · RSI 40 · price 0.70097

Lower highs since the 0.6995 break; range capped under 0.7040.

AUDUSD broke down ~80 pips through 0.7050 into a 0.69946 low on the hawkish Fed repricing, then a softer USD on the US-Iran de-escalation funded a corrective bounce to 0.70412. That recovery has stalled below EMA20 near 0.7028 and price is sliding back toward the 0.7000 handle with RSI under 50, leaving the bounce looking like a pullback within the broader break.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7028, 0.70412

What it said to watch

  • Sustained loss of the 0.7000 psych handle opens the path back toward the 0.69946 swing low
  • Reclaim of EMA20 near 0.7028 and the 0.70412 bounce high would neutralize the bearish structure
  • US jobless claims / Philly Fed at 12:30 UTC could shift this read

Downtrend after FOMC, attempting recovery · RSI 46 · price 0.70306

Lower high then sharp break, basing above 0.7000.

AUDUSD was sliced lower in yesterday's NY session as Warsh's hawkish FOMC debut flipped the 2026 dot path to a hike; the pair cut through 0.7050 and briefly broke 0.7000 to 0.69946 before clawing back. Price has since based in the 0.7020-0.7041 zone but trades below both EMA20 and EMA50, leaving the recovery capped. The 0.69946 dip and reclaim of 0.7000 reads as a false break, but lower-high structure persists into the European session.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 0.70412 needed to extend the recovery off the FOMC low

AUDUSD sliced through 0.7050 and spiked sub-0.7000 to 0.69946 after Warsh's hawkish FOMC debut flipped the USD higher, before clawing back into the low 0.703s. Price now sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with the bounce capping under 0.70412 — a series of lower highs since the break. The 0.7000 handle was tested and held on the spike, but recovery momentum has flattened with RSI cycling in the low 40s.

Support: 0.70058, 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412, 0.7050

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 0.7000 reopens the 0.69946 sweep low and SocGen 0.6890 objective
  • H1 close back above 0.70412 needed to challenge the broken 0.7050 level

Sharp break below week's range, climbing higher-lows since.

AUDUSD spent Monday through Wednesday capped between 0.7045 and 0.7088 before the hawkish Warsh-led Fed sliced the pair ~80 pips through 0.7050 and into a sub-0.7000 session low at 0.69946. Price has since clawed back to the 0.7038 area, stalling around the 50% retracement of the FOMC drop near 0.7045. Recovery has carved a series of higher-lows but remains below EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) lifting off oversold toward the mid-40s.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7045, 0.7072, 0.70879

What it said to watch

Downtrend, recovering off lows · RSI 45 · price 0.70377

Lower high then sharp break, bounce underway.

The hawkish Fed under Warsh torched AUD: price sliced through 0.7050 and swept sub-0.7000 to a 0.69946 low before clawing back to 0.7037. H1 sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with structure firmly lower after the break, though RSI has lifted off oversold as the recovery off 0.70058 builds a series of higher lows. The 0.70412 session high is the first cap on that bounce.

Support: 0.7028, 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412, 0.7053

Range break lower, bounce capped below EMAs.

AUDUSD held a tight 0.706-0.708 band through Tuesday-Wednesday before breaking sharply lower into the NY session on the hawkish FOMC under Warsh, printing 0.69946 before a recovery bounce stalled at the 0.70412 recovery high. Price is now fading back toward 0.7030, holding below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI sub-50. The 0.7000 psych level and the 0.69946 swing low frame the downside.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412

What it said to watch

  • Close below 0.7000 psych opens path to the 0.69946 swing low

Sharp breakdown, now retracing.

AUDUSD broke sharply lower into the NY session as Warsh's hawkish FOMC debut and the dot-plot flip lifted the USD, dropping price from the 0.7072 area to a 0.69946 session low. A corrective bounce has since stair-stepped back toward the 0.7035 region, but price remains below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) recovering off oversold into the mid-40s. The 0.70412 intraday high caps the rebound while 0.7000 psych support held on the flush.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70412, 0.70725

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back above 0.70412 would extend the bounce toward the 0.70725 pre-fomc shelf

Broke week's range, recovering off 0.7000.

AUDUSD held a tight 0.7060–0.7075 band through Wednesday's NY session before the FOMC bar gutted it — hawkish Warsh and a hot US retail print drove a break that swept below 0.7000 to 0.69946 in the first hour of the reaction. Price has since clawed back to 0.70328, basing around 0.70140 but stalling under today's 0.70412 high, with the EMA20 near 0.7055 now capping overhead.

Support: 0.7014, 0.7000, 0.69946

Support: 0.7013, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7041, 0.7072

What it said to watch

Since then price has clawed back to 0.7040 but sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), keeping the structure corrective.

Price has since clawed back to 0.7040 in a stair-step recovery but trades below EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI rebounding off oversold toward neutral.
