Higher lows since base, ranging under 0.700.
AUDUSD sold off from Tuesday's 0.7025 high toward a 0.6962-0.6961 double base late in the week, with strong AU jobs offset by firmer USD on hawkish-Fed repricing. Price has since carved higher lows and opened Monday with a gap to 0.6995 before slipping to 0.69915, holding above EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) back near 51. The 0.7006 session high has capped the bounce; prior-week close at 0.69807 is the nearest floor.

Recovery off week low, capped at 0.70 · RSI 52 · price 0.69915
Based near 0.696, consolidating sub-0.70.
AUDUSD spent the week capped near the 0.70 round number after the jobs beat lifted it toward the 0.7026 five-week high, before firmer USD dragged it back sub-0.70. Price then based twice around 0.696 (the week low) and has ground higher-lows into this weekend's small gap-up open at 0.69953. Now hovering at 0.699 with RSI(14) mid-range and price back above EMA20/EMA50.

Range, base building off lows · RSI 56 · price 0.70019
Choppy range around 0.70, higher lows late-week.
AUDUSD spent the week penned around the 0.70 pivot: an early push to the 0.7025 five-week high faded, then price slid to a weekly low near 0.6962 as a firmer, oil-driven USD offset strong AU jobs and PMIs. The last two sessions have carved out higher lows off that base with price reclaiming 0.70, sitting back above EMA20 and EMA50 as RSII cycles through the mid-50s.

Midweek selloff to 0.6961, higher lows building back to pivot.
AUDUSD slid from the 0.7026 high mid-week to a 0.6961 low as firmer US yields and oil-driven hawkish-Fed bets capped the Aussie despite a strong jobs beat. Price has since carved higher lows and the new session opened with a gap up back through the 0.70 pivot, now sitting above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) cycling back near 58. The 0.7020-0.7026 five-week-high cluster remains the topside cap that turned price back twice this week.
