Sideways after NY rebound, momentum neutral · RSI 49 · price 0.56031

Tight range 0.5596–0.5608 below the 0.5613 NY high, higher low intact.

NY rallied off the 0.5582 london low as oil eased on Trump's Iran de-escalation and swept the Asian high, reaching the 0.5613 ny high before a rejection. The ny pullback held at 0.5590, roughly 73% of the move on the fib, and since then price has compressed between the 0.5596 rollover low and the 0.5608 range top into a thin early Asia session, with RSI(14) flat near 49.

Support: 0.55958, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5608 range top reopens the 0.5613 ny high
  • Break of the 0.5596 rollover low and the higher-low line exposes the 0.5590 ny pullback, then the 0.5582 london low
  • Thin Asia liquidity keeps ATR near 3 pips, so range breaks may lack follow-through
  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations (Fri 14:00 UTC) could shift the read later in the day

23:17 UTC

Sideways, momentum neutral after NY spike reversal · RSI 49 · price 0.56029

Tight 0.5596–0.5606 range in early Asia, nested inside the 0.5590–0.5613 NY span.

London sold the pair to a 0.5582 london low just above the 0.5580 18-month low as oil-driven US yields weighed. NY then ran to a 0.5613 spike high and reversed to the 0.5590 ny low. Early Asia is holding 0.5603, roughly a 33% fib retrace of the london low–spike high leg, with the rollover gap to 0.5596 already filled and ATR compressed near 3.6 pips.

Support: 0.55958, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56062, 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5608 ny high breaks the overnight range and puts the 0.5613 spike high back in view
  • Failure below the 0.5596 rollover low reopens the 0.5590 ny low; below that, the 0.5582 london low sits just above the 0.5580 18-month low
  • Asia high at 0.5606 is the first cap; a rejection there keeps the range intact
  • Unscheduled oil, US yield or Middle East headlines remain the main intraday driver; US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations at 14:00 UTC Fri are the next scheduled risk

23:04 UTC

Sideways, momentum neutral · RSI 49 · price 0.56027

Tight range 0.5596–0.5606 inside wider 0.5582–0.5613 day range.

NY's spike to the 0.5613 ny high was fully rejected as USD swung on Iran/oil headlines, and the pair then held above the 0.5590 ny low. Early Asia is compressing between the 0.5596 rollover low and the 0.5606 late high. Price sits near the 50–61.8% zone of the ny swing fib, with RSI flat near 49 and ATR around 3.5 pips.

Support: 0.55958, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56062, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5606 late high opens a retest of the 0.5613 ny high
  • Loss of the 0.5596 rollover low exposes the 0.5590 ny low, then the 0.5582 day low
  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations (Fri 14:00 UTC) could materially shift the read beyond the Asian range

Sideways-to-firm, higher lows since London low · RSI 56 · price 0.56053

Higher lows (0.55815, 0.55899, 0.55958) beneath a 0.5608–0.5613 cap.

Early Asia session. Price has reclaimed the 0.5600 psych after a thin dip to the 0.55958 rollover low, extending a chain of rising lows from the 0.55815 London low. The NY spike to the 0.56133 day high faded as USD softened on Iran de-escalation headlines and lower oil, and the 0.56079 NY high now caps the session range.

Support: 0.5600, 0.55958, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.56079 ny high exposes the 0.56133 day high
  • Loss of 0.5600 psych and the 0.55958 rollover low breaks the rising lows
  • Thin Asian liquidity and no scheduled data in the next 8h; US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC

Neutral, recovering off London low · RSI 55 · price 0.56043

Lower highs vs higher lows, compressing near 0.5600.

Kiwi rebounded from the 0.55815 London low as USD faded on Trump's Iran de-escalation comments. The spike to the 0.56133 day high was rejected, and price has since printed a lower high at 0.56079 against a higher NY swing low at 0.55899. Early Asia is holding 0.5600 after the rollover low at 0.55958, with the range compressing at 3–4 pips ATR.

Support: 0.55958, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.56079 lower high breaks the compression and exposes the 0.56133 day high
  • Loss of the 0.55958 rollover low and the 0.55899 ny swing low breaks the higher-lows line toward the 0.55815 london low
  • Thin early-Asia liquidity; Friday's UoM sentiment and inflation expectations (14:00 UTC) could reset the range

22:04 UTC

Sideways after failed NY rally, slipping back under 0.5600 · RSI 42 · price 0.55982

Back inside the Asian range; NY lower high, late-NY range 0.5599–0.5605 broken at rollover.

London took out the Asian low and printed the 0.55815 day low. The NY rally on the USD pullback (Iran de-escalation, softer oil) cleared the Asian high to a 0.56133 NY high, then reversed: a false break, followed by a 0.56079 lower high and a late-NY range capped at the 0.56051 range top. The rollover gap has pushed price back under the 0.5600 psych level, near the 50% retrace of the London low–NY high fib, with a 0.55958 rollover low just below and RSI(14) at 42 in thin early-Asia trade.

Support: 0.55958, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.5600, 0.56051, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.55958 rollover low exposes the 0.55899 NY low, the 61.8% fib area just above it
  • Loss of the 0.55815 day low brings the 0.5580 18-month low into play
  • Recovery above 0.5600 psych and the 0.56051 range top re-opens the lower high at 0.56079 and the NY high
  • Rollover spreads are distorting early-Asia wicks until liquidity returns
  • US UoM sentiment and inflation expectations Fri 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

21:33 UTC

Compressing after a two-way NY session · RSI 42 · price 0.55996

Lower high vs higher low, tight post-NY range.

NY lifted the pair from the 0.5582 london low to a 0.5613 day high as USD softened on Trump's Iran de-escalation and lower oil, but the high was rejected. A 0.5590 higher low and a 0.5608 lower high have since squeezed price into a 0.5599–0.5605 post-NY range. Price now sits on the range floor after rollover, under EMA20 and on a flat EMA50, with RSI near 42 and ATR around 3 pips.

Support: 0.55986, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56051, 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5599 range floor exposes the 0.5590 higher low
  • Failure to hold the 0.5590 higher low puts the 0.5582 london low back in play
  • Close above the 0.5605 range top shifts focus to the 0.5608 lower high and the 0.5613 day high
  • Thin early Asia session liquidity after rollover can produce false breaks of the range

21:17 UTC

Intraday range, momentum neutral · RSI 44 · price 0.56016

Lower high under the session high, tight post-NY compression.

NY swept the Asian range high near 0.5609 to a 0.5613 session high and was rejected to a 0.5590 NY low, with the USD off its highs as Trump's Iran de-escalation pulled oil lower. The NY rebound stalled at a 0.5608 lower high, and price has compressed between the 0.5599 pullback low and the 0.5605 range top since NY close, with RSI(14) near 44.

Support: 0.55986, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56051, 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5605 range top and the 0.5608 lower high breaks the compression
  • Failure to hold the 0.5599 pullback low exposes the 0.5590 NY low, then the 0.5582 london low
  • Reclaiming the 0.5613 session high negates the rejection read and the lower highs sequence
  • Thin Asia session liquidity ahead; Friday's UoM sentiment and inflation expectations could materially shift this read

Neutral, consolidating after NY recovery · RSI 45 · price 0.56023

Tight late-NY range 0.5599–0.5605 inside the 0.5582–0.5613 day range, higher lows since 16:00 UTC.

NZD recovered from the 0.5582 London low during NY as USD eased on Trump's Iran de-escalation and softer crude. The 14:30 UTC spike to the 0.5613 session high was a false break of the Asian high and drew a rejection. Since 18:15 UTC price has held a 5-pip range between 0.5599 and 0.5605, about a 35% retrace of the London low-to-NY high leg, with a higher-lows line from the 0.5590 swing low still intact.

Support: 0.55986, 0.55899, 0.55815

Resistance: 0.56051, 0.56079, 0.56133

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 0.5599 range low breaks the higher-lows line and exposes the 0.5590 swing low, then the london low at 0.5582
  • Close above the 0.5605 range top brings the 0.5608 swing high and the 0.5613 session high back into view
  • Delayed reports on the content of Breman's speech, or Middle East and oil headlines, could break the range during the Asia session

20:32 UTC

NZD/USD rebounded from the 0.55815 London low to a 0.56133 day high in early NY as the USD eased on Iran de-escalation headlines. It then printed a lower high at 0.56079 and a higher low at 0.55899. Late NY is compressing into a pennant between the 0.55986 range low and the 0.56051 range top, with RSI(14) near 56 and ATR(14) about 3 pips.

  • M15 close above the 0.56051 range top and 0.56079 lower high breaks the compression and puts the 0.56133 day high back in play
  • Failure to hold the 0.55986 range low exposes the 0.55899 higher low, near the 61.8% fib of the NY rebound
  • A break below 0.55899 reopens the 0.55815 London low
  • Thin late-NY and early Asia session trade can produce false breaks of the pennant
  • Any delayed reporting of today's Breman speech content could reprice NZD

20:17 UTC

Intraday range after NY reversal, momentum flat · RSI 58 · price 0.56036

Higher low at 0.5599 under a lower high at 0.5608; NY high false break.

London sold off to the 0.5582 london low on higher US yields. NY then reversed sharply, pushing above the Asian high at 0.5609 to a 0.5613 ny high before rejecting back to the 0.5590 pullback low. The bounce stalled at a 0.5608 lower high, and price is now consolidating near 0.5603 in thin late-NY trade, with ATR compressing to about 3 pips.

Lower high at 0.5608 against higher lows at 0.5590/0.5599 into the NY close.

London sold down to the 0.5582 london low before NY reversed it. A USD pullback on Iran de-escalation headlines drove a sweep of the Asian high into the 0.5613 session high, which was rejected straight back to the 0.5590 ny low. Price is now squeezed between a lower high at 0.5608 and a swing low at 0.5599 late in NY, with RSI(14) mid-50s and ATR around 3.6 pips.

London broke below the Asian range to a 0.55815 day low near the 0.5580 area. NY reversed as USD faded on easing oil after Trump ruled out an Iran strike, but the run through the 0.56093 Asian high to the 0.56133 day high was rejected. Since then the pair has printed a 0.56079 lower high and a 0.55986 higher low, with late-NY ranges compressing to ~3–4 pips per bar.

Late NY is now compressing between the 0.55986 swing low and a 0.56079 swing high, above a 0.55899 ny low higher low, with RSI(14) neutral near 57 and price sitting on the 38.2% of the day low-high move.

Higher lows from 0.5582 against lower highs from 0.5613, late NY.

London broke below the Asian range low (0.5593) to a day low at 0.5582 as higher US yields and oil-led risk-off weighed on NZD. NY reversed hard, made a false break above the Asian high to a day high at 0.5613, then saw rejection back to the NY low at 0.5590. After London close, price is compressing at 0.5603, between higher lows (swing low 0.5599) and a lower high at 0.5608, just above EMA20, with RSI(14) in the mid-50s.

Higher low at 0.5590 under a lower high at 0.5608, compressing late NY.

NY swept the Asian range high near 0.5609 into a 0.5613 session high and was rejected. That run came as USD eased on Iran de-escalation headlines. The bounce off the 0.5582 London low has since printed a higher low at 0.5590 and a lower high at 0.5608. Price is pinned near 0.5601, around the 38.2% retrace, late in NY hours.

London set the day low at 0.55815, then the 12:30 UTC spike to the 0.56133 session high was rejected straight back to 0.5590. Late NY, a higher low at 0.5590 and a lower high at 0.5608 have price coiling just above the 0.5600 psych level, with RSI flat near 51 and the US-yield-driven USD bid still the backdrop.

London low 0.5582, NY false break above Asian high, higher low at 0.5590, now pressing 0.5608.

London ground down to a 0.5582 London low before NY reversed it. A false break of the 0.5609 Asian high to the 0.5613 NY high was rejected, but the pullback held a 0.5590 higher low. Price is back above the 0.5600 psych after Trump's Iran de-escalation headline eased oil- and haven-driven USD demand, with RSI(14) near 64 and ATR(14) around 4.6 pips into late NY.

Support: 0.5600, 0.5590, 0.5582

Resistance: 0.5609, 0.5613, 0.5622

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5613 NY high negates the false break and exposes the 0.5622 Wed high
  • Rejection again at the 0.5609 Asian high keeps the 0.5590–0.5613 NY range intact
  • Loss of the 0.5600 psych and then the 0.5590 higher low breaks the rising higher-low line and refocuses on the 0.5582 London low
  • Fed's Musalem (17:40 UTC, underway) could shift US yields and this read
  • Reversal of the Iran de-escalation headline or a fresh oil/yield spike would undercut the recovery

London low 0.5582, NY higher low 0.5590, now testing Asian high.

London sold the Asian range down to a 0.5582 day low near the Nov-2025 low. NY then spiked to a 0.5613 session high that was rejected, held a higher low at the 0.5590 ny low, and the late bid on Trump's Iran de-escalation headline has retraced ~70% of that pullback back to the 0.5609 asian high. RSI(14) ~60, ATR ~5 pips.

  • Loss of the 0.5603 prior cap and the rising support line from the day low would undercut the higher-low read
  • Break of the 0.5590 ny low reopens the 0.5582 day low and the 0.5580 Nov-2025 low
  • Fed's Musalem at 17:40 UTC could shift US yields and this read

Two-way intraday, rebounding off a higher low · RSI 57 · price 0.56034

Higher low at 0.5590 after NY false break above Asian high; mid-range.

London broke the Asian low to a 0.5582 session low. NY reversed the move to 0.5613, above the 0.5609 Asian high, but was rejected straight back inside, a false break. The pullback held a higher low at the 0.5590 swing low, about 73% of the NY rally fib, and late NY has price back above 0.5600 psych as Trump's Iran de-escalation remarks eased oil-and-yield pressure.

Intraday range after rejected NY spike · RSI 51 · price 0.55978

Higher low at 0.5590 off the 0.5582 day low; price capped below the 0.5603 spike high.

The early-NY rally off the 0.5582 day low ran to an NY high of 0.5613 and briefly cleared the 0.5609 Asian high. The move was rejected and retraced about 70% of the leg (fib) to the 0.5590 NY low, with firm US yields and oil keeping the Kiwi heavy. Late in the NY session, price is boxed between 0.5590 and the 0.5603 spike high, with RSI(14) neutral near 51.

Intraday range after failed NY squeeze, lower highs · RSI 55 · price 0.55972

False break above Asian high, rotating mid-range between 0.5590 and 0.5603.

London sold through the Asian range to a 0.5582 session low near the Nov-2025 floor as oil-driven US yields stayed bid. NY's squeeze above the 0.5609 Asian high to a 0.5613 day high failed and unwound to a 0.5590 NY low. Late NY, after London close, price sits at the 50% fib of that move near 0.5597 under a lower high at 0.5603, with RSI(14) neutral at 55.

Choppy, two-way after NY reversal · RSI 51 · price 0.55957

Lower highs since NY high, mid-range near 0.5596.

London extended lower lows to the 0.5582 London low before NY reversed hard, poking through the 0.5609 Asian high to a 0.5613 NY high that failed and unwound to the 0.5590 NY low as US yields held firm. Price now sits about 55% into the NY rally fib, pinned on flat EMA20/50 near 0.5596. The 0.5603 spike high capped the latest bounce, extending the lower-highs line.

False break above Asian high, lower highs since 14:30 UTC.

London pressed to the 0.5582 day low after Breman's 08:00 UTC remarks failed to hold a bounce, with firm US yields keeping NZD heavy. The NY spike to the 0.5613 day high cleared the Asian high at 0.5609 and was rejected. That move has since been retraced to the 0.5590 NY low, and price now sits on the 61.8% fib of the rally.

False break above Asian high, back at Asian low.

Breman's 08:00 UTC speech drew no lasting reaction, and London slid to a 0.5582 day low near the 0.5580 Nov-2025 low. A first-hour-of-NY rally pushed through the 0.5609 Asian high to a 0.5613 NY high, was rejected, and has since fully unwound to the 61.8% retrace of the ny rally, sitting on the 0.5593 Asian low. Price is back under EMA20/50 with RSI(14) near 47, as oil-driven US yields near 2002 highs keep NZD heavy.

False break above Asian high, pullback into fib zone.

The early-NY spike to the 0.5613 NY high briefly cleared the 0.5609 Asian high, then failed. Price has since given back about 18 pips to 0.5596, sitting on EMA20 between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the London low–NY high leg. The 0.5582 day low from London still sits just above the 0.5580 Nov-2025 low, with USD held up by yields near 2002 highs.

Intraday range, two-way after NY spike · RSI 54 · price 0.55963

False break above Asian high, retracing toward mid-leg.

London slid from the asian low at 0.5593 to the london low at 0.5582 on yield and oil-driven USD demand, with little reaction to Breman. NY reversed off a 0.5587 ny pivot and ran the asian high at 0.5609 to a 0.5613 session high, but was rejected within the hour. Price is back at 0.5596 on the 50% fib of that leg, just under the 0.5600 psych mark, with EMA20 flat beneath and RSI(14) neutral near 54.

London broke below the Asian range and reached the 0.5582 London low, just above the 0.5580 Nov-2025 low, with firm US yields keeping USD supported. NY reversed the move and briefly cleared the 0.5609 Asian high, reaching a 0.5613 session high before rejection.

V-recovery from 0.5582, false break of Asian high.

London sold NZD down to a 0.55815 session low, just above the 0.5580 Nov-2025 low, as yields and oil pressured the pair. NY reversed it in a V. The 14:15 UTC spike cleared the 0.56093 Asian high to 0.56133 but was rejected straight back to the 0.5600 psych area. Price is now sitting on the 38.2% fib and the rising trendline from the session low, RSI(14) cooled to ~57.

RSI(14) is near 76 after a run of higher lows along the rising trendline. The 0.5600 psych level and the 0.5595 swing low sit beneath, with the 61.8% fib of the recovery near 0.5592.

London sold off from the 0.5609 Asian high to a 0.5582 session low. A brief Breman-speech pop to 0.5600 faded as the USD bid on near-2002-high yields held. In NY, a higher-low chain off 0.5582 has lifted price back to the 61.8% fib near 0.5599, just under the Breman high, with the 38.2% fib at 0.5592 and the 0.5587 higher low below.

Lower highs from 0.5609 Asian high; London below Asian range.

London broke the 0.5593 Asian low and extended a lower-high chain from the 0.5609 Asian high. The bounce around Breman's 08:00 UTC remarks was capped at the 0.5600 Breman high before a fresh session low at 0.55815. Price is now pressing the descending trendline just above the 0.5580 Nov-25 low, with RSI(14) near 31.

Downtrend, steady lower highs · RSI 29 · price 0.55842

Asian range low broken in London; lower-high chain under descending trendline.

The Breman-driven bounce stalled at the 0.5600 breman high. London then broke the Asian range low near 0.5590 and printed lower highs under the descending trendline, with US yields and oil keeping NZD heavy. Price lost yesterday's prior low at 0.55854 and sits just above the 0.55821 session low, roughly 2 pips over the 0.5580 nov-25 low, with RSI(14) near 29.

London broke below the 0.5593 asian low. Price has stepped lower in a lower-highs chain since the 08:00 UTC Breman spike to 0.5600 was rejected near the 61.8% fib of the Asia-high leg. It now prints a 0.5584 session low beneath yesterday's 0.5585 prior low, with RSI(14) near 33, as firm US yields and USD keep NZD heavy into the 0.5580 nov-25 low.

The Breman-driven spike to 0.5600 (breman high) was rejected within the hour. London has since printed a lower high at 0.5596 and a string of lower lows, with RSI(14) near 37 as rising US yields keep the USD bid. Late in London, price sits at the 0.5586 session low, just above yesterday's 0.5585 prior low and the 0.5580 Nov-25 low.

London broke the Asian range low near 0.5594. The Breman-driven bounce at 08:00 UTC stalled at the 0.5600 breman high under the falling trendline from the 0.5609 asian high, leaving a lower-high chain grinding into 0.5586 with RSI(14) near 34 as yield-led USD strength holds.

Asian range low broken in London; lower-high chain pressing the session low.

The early-Asia push to the 0.5609 Asian high has unwound into a lower-high chain. London broke the 0.5593 Asian low, and the Breman spike to 0.5600 was faded inside an hour. Price is now grinding along the 0.5588 session low with RSI near 39 and ATR around 4 pips, as firm US yields keep NZD heavy.

London broke below the Asian range low near 0.5593. The Breman-driven pop at 08:00 UTC stalled at the 0.5600 breman high and was rejected, and price has since slipped through the 0.5590 london lows to the 0.5588 session low, with RSI(14) near 38. Firm US yields and risk-off keep the trendline of lower highs from the 0.5609 asian high intact, and the prior low at 0.5585 sits just below.

London broke the Asian low at 0.5594, and the Breman pop at 08:00 UTC was rejected at 0.5600 (the breman high). Lower highs keep stepping down from the Asian high at 0.5609 as risk-off and firm US yields weigh. Price is now pressing yesterday's prior low at 0.5585, with the 0.5580 18m low beneath.

London broke below the Asian range; lows clustering at 0.5590.

Lower highs from the 0.5609 Asian high carried London below the 0.5594 Asian low. Breman's 08:00 UTC remarks produced only a brief pop to 0.5600 (breman high) that faded as the USD yield bid held. Price is now pressing the 0.5590 London low for a third time, with RSI(14) near 41 and well short of oversold.

London range 0.5590–0.5600 below a falling Asian-high trendline.

London broke the Asian low near 0.5593 and has since held a tight 0.5590–0.5600 band, with a lower-high chain from the 0.5609 asian high. Breman's 08:00 UTC speech produced a spike to the 0.5600 breman high that faded straight back into the range. Firm USD and yields near 5.3% keep supply capping rallies, and price sits below both EMAs.

Lower highs from Asian high, double low at 0.5590.

Slide from the 0.5609 Asian high broke the Asian range low, and London twice printed the 0.5590 London low before the pair firmed during Breman's 08:00 UTC remarks. Price is now retesting the 0.5600 round number, which coincides with the 50% fib of the Asian-high slide and the descending line off the lower high at 0.5606. RSI(14) is neutral near 45 and ATR is about 4 pips.

Lower highs from the Asian high, London base at 0.5591.

NZDUSD has faded from the 0.5609 Asian high into London, with risk-off and 5.3% US yields weighing. Price slipped below the Asian range low to a 0.5591 london low, tested twice, and is now pressing the lower-highs line near 0.5596. Breman's 08:00 UTC remarks drew a muted reaction so far; RSI(14) is near 38 and ATR is about 4 pips.

Asian range broken lower at London open; price holding just above the 0.5590 London low.

London open broke the 0.5594 Asian low as higher oil and US yields kept risk appetite soft. Price has since printed a twin London low near 0.5590 with the old Asian low capping, below a lower-high sequence from the 0.5609 Asian high. Breman is speaking now, with Waller at 08:30 UTC.

Pre-London selling broke the Asian range low near 0.5593 and set a session low at 0.5590, with US yields near 2002 highs keeping NZD heavy.

Asian range broken lower, LH/LL chain into London open.

The Asian range of 0.5594–0.5609 gave way from 06:00 UTC, and the London open extended the slide to a 0.5590 session low. Price is now retesting the broken asian low at 0.5594 from below.

The Asia session pop to the 0.5609 Asian high has fully unwound. Price is back on the 0.5593 Asian low into London open, with a lower-high chain (0.5606, 0.5601) capping each bounce under the descending trendline. RSI(14) near 32 is soft but not stretched; the US-yield-driven USD bid still sets the backdrop, and yesterday's 0.5585 swing low sits below.

Asia rallied to the 0.5609 asian high, which matched yesterday's London-open top, and was rejected. A lower high at 0.5606 led to a pre-London drop to a fresh asian low at 0.5593, held above yesterday's 0.5585 london low. Price is back at 0.5599, the 38.2% retrace of that asian pullback, below both EMAs, with Breman and Waller due early in the London session.

Late Asia, about 30 minutes before London open. Price has faded from the 0.5609 Asian high through a lower high at 0.5606, and the 05:45 UTC drop briefly undercut the Asian low to a 0.5593 session low before closing back inside. NZD sits under the 0.5600 round number and EMA20 with RSI(14) near 43, held heavy by the yield-driven USD bid.

Late Asia faded from the 0.5609 asian high and dropped through the 0.5600 round number. Price tagged 0.5593, matching the rollover low; the asian low printed with a rejection wick, and the pair now sits just below the round number with RSI(14) near 42, ATR about 3 pips and price under both EMAs. NZD stays heavy near 0.5600 with US yields at 24-year highs, and yday low at 0.5585 is the next reference below.

Flat, momentum fading after Asia pop · RSI 47 · price 0.56009

Lower highs pressing onto a flat 0.5600 base.

Asia rallied from the 0.55943 asian low to the 0.56093 asian high. That high was rejected just under yesterday's 0.56105 prior high, and price has since printed a lower high at 0.56056 while holding the 0.5600 psych, the 61.8% retrace of the Asia rally fib. In late Asia, price sits below EMA20 and on EMA50 with RSI(14) near 47 and ATR(14) under 3 pips, and the pair stays heavy with US yields near 24-year highs.

Lower highs off the Asian high, compressing above the 0.5599 pullback low.

Late Asia session: the rally to the 0.5609 asian high retraced to the 61.8% of the asian rally fib at the 0.5599 pullback low. Price has since printed lower highs inside a 0.5599–0.5606 band, sitting on EMA50, with NZD pinned near 0.5600 by firm USD and near-24-year-high yields after the hawkish FOMC Minutes.

Inside Asian range, higher low at 0.55993.

Late Asia session, price is holding inside the 0.55943–0.56093 Asian range. The 02:15 UTC push to the asian high retraced to the 61.8% fib, leaving a higher low at 0.55993 just under 0.5600, and price has since edged back up. Yesterday's yield-driven London low at 0.55854 has been fully recovered. RSI(14) is flat near 50 and ATR is about 2.7 pips, so ranges are tight ahead of London open.

Late Asia session. Price dipped to the 0.5594 asian low, rallied to the 0.5609 asian high, then pulled back to hold the 0.5600 round number near the 61.8% of the Asia rally fib. It now sits mid-range just under yesterday's 0.5606 ny high, with higher lows building off the 0.5585 prior low set in the London-NY selloff as US yields lifted the USD. ATR(14) near 2.7 pips shows ranges compressed ahead of Breman.

Late Asia session, ahead of London open: price sits mid-range at 0.5603 after the pullback from the 0.5609 asian high held a swing low at 0.5599, near the 61.8% fib of the Asian leg, and printed rising lows off 0.5594. The pair stays pinned near 0.5600 as US yields near 2002 highs keep USD firm. RSI(14) is neutral at 53 and ATR(14) has compressed to about 3 pips ahead of Breman.

Late Asia session, price sits at 0.5602. A 15-pip leg off the 0.5594 Asian low was rejected at the 0.5609 Asian high, just under yesterday's 0.5610 London prior high, and has since retraced to the 61.8% of the Asian leg fib. The 0.5599 swing low printed a higher low on the rising lows trendline from the 0.5585 prior low. Price is flat at EMA20, and supply is capping rallies as USD holds firm on 5%+ US yields.

Price is now coiling around 0.5602 on EMA20, with NZD pinned near 0.5600 as US yields sit at 2002 highs.

Late Asia session, ahead of London. Price is rotating inside the Asian range 0.5594–0.5609 after recovering the 0.5585 NY low as the USD eased from its yield-driven highs. The pullback from the Asian high found a higher low at 0.5600, the 61.8% fib of the overnight leg. RSI(14) is near 59 and ATR(14) is about 3 pips, so moves are compressed.

Asian range 0.5594–0.5609, higher low held at 0.5600.

Yesterday's London slide to the 0.5585 prior low came as US yields rebounded. NY retraced the drop to the 0.5606 ny high, and the Asia session pushed from the 0.5594 asian low to 0.5609. That asian high stalled just under the prior-day top. The pullback held the 0.5600 round number near the 61.8% of the Asian leg as a higher low, leaving price mid-range at 0.5604 with ATR around 3 pips.

The Asia session ran from the 0.5594 asian low to the 0.5609 asian high, stalling just under yesterday's 0.5610 prior high. Price then gave back to the 0.5599 swing low, at the 61.8% retrace, and sits mid-range at 0.5601. RSI(14) is neutral near 52 and ATR is about 3 pips, which leaves this a range, not a trend. Higher lows hold off the 0.5585 day low, set during the London-NY transition as US yields pushed higher.

The Asia session lifted NZD from the 0.5594 asia low to the 0.5609 asia high. It stalled just under yesterday's 0.5610 London high and has since given back about 61.8% of the move to the 0.5600 psych level, where price sits on a flat EMA50. The 24h structure remains a 0.5585–0.5610 range with a higher-low line off the ny low, RSI(14) neutral near 51 and ATR around 3 pips.

Price sits mid-band inside 0.5585–0.5611, the range set since Wednesday's London-NY slide to the ny low. USD is firm on yields, and NZD is pinned near 0.5600.

Resistance: 0.56093, 0.56115

  • M15 close above the 0.5611 prior high clears the window top; failure there leaves a rejection below the asian high
  • Close below the 0.5594 asian low reopens yesterday's 0.5585 swing low

Mid-Asia session, price rallied 15 pips off the 0.55943 asia low and cleared the 0.56056 ny high set on the FOMC-minutes spike. It is now stalling just under the 0.56115 prior high, with RSI(14) near 69 and the bars narrowing. The bounce runs against a yield-driven USD bid that sent the pair to 0.55854 during yesterday's London session.

The late-London leg down to the 0.5585 day low, driven by firm US yields and hawkish FOMC minutes, gave way to a 0.5585–0.5606 band. The Asia session is compressed in a 0.5594–0.5602 Asian range, just under the 0.5600 round number and the 38.2% fib, with highs fading along a lower-high trendline from the 0.5606 NY high. ATR is near 2.6 pips and RSI is neutral, so there is no momentum either way.

NY bounced off the 0.5585 london low and stalled at the 0.5606 fomc high as hawkish minutes and 5.35% US 10y yields kept USD bid. Highs have stepped lower since along the lower-highs line. Asia session is boxed in a 0.5597–0.5602 range just under 0.5600, sitting on the 38.2% retrace of the NY rebound with ATR compressed near 2.6 pips.

Intraday downtrend, compressing below 0.5600 · RSI 48 · price 0.55982

Lower highs from 0.5606 into a tight Asian range.

Early Asia session is holding a 0.5597–0.5602 range just under the 0.5600 psych handle, with lower highs since the 0.5606 minutes high as hawkish FOMC Minutes and 5.30% yields kept USD bid. The NY rebound from the 0.5585 swing low has faded toward its 61.8% retrace, which sits beside the 0.5594 rollover low.

Support: 0.55972, 0.55937, 0.55854

Resistance: 0.5600, 0.56016, 0.56056

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5597 session low exposes the 0.5594 rollover low and the 61.8% fib
  • M15 close above the 0.5602 asian high breaks the lower-high trendline and reopens the 0.5606 minutes high
  • Loss of the 0.5585 swing low would confirm a lower-low near the YTD low zone
  • RBNZ Breman speech at 08:00 UTC and Fed's Waller at 08:30 UTC (~8h) could materially shift this read

Early Asia session is compressing in a sub-3-pip ATR range below the 0.5602 Asian high, with price sitting on the 38.2% fib of the NY swing just under EMA20/50.

Support: 0.5598, 0.5594, 0.55854

Resistance: 0.56016, 0.56056

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5594 late low breaks the Asian range and exposes the 0.5585 day low
  • Close above the 0.5602 Asian high shifts focus back to the 0.5606 NY high
  • Loss of the 38.2% fib at 0.5598 turns the NY rebound into a deeper retrace of the swing
  • RBNZ Governor Breman speaks at 08:00 UTC (~8h) and Fed's Waller at 08:30 UTC; either could break the compression
