Gap higher at the open, holding above Friday's range · RSI 71 · price 0.5562
Early-Asia range 0.5553–0.5567 above an unfilled gap.
The Monday open gapped about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close, extending the swing off the 0.5527 nfp low printed after the strong US payrolls. Early Asia session dips found demand twice at the 0.5553 session low, a retest of Friday's post-NFP high, and price is rotating back toward the 0.5567 session high with RSI(14) near 71.
Support: 0.5553, 0.5539, 0.5527
Resistance: 0.5567, 0.5600
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 0.5567 session high opens the 0.5600 round number
Failure to hold the 0.5553 session low exposes the 0.5539 gap fill, then the 0.5527 nfp low
Fed speakers Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin on Monday and US CPI on Tuesday could materially shift this read
23:32 UTC
Gap higher, recovering post-NFP drop · RSI 72 · price 0.5562
Early Asian range above Friday close.
The Monday Asia open gapped about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close after the weekend NZ election, extending the bounce off the 0.5527 nfp low set when the blowout US payrolls print hit. Dips to the 0.5553 open low have held four times at the 38.2% retrace of Friday's drop. Price sits near the 50% level inside a 0.5553–0.5567 Asian range, with RSI(14) at about 72.
Support: 0.5553, 0.5539, 0.5527
Resistance: 0.5567, 0.5600
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 0.5567 open high would break the Asian range and expose the 0.5600 round number.
Failure to hold the 0.5553 open low would put the gap fill toward the 0.5539 Friday close in play.
A move back below 0.5539 would fully reverse the gap and refocus on the 0.5527 nfp low.
Fed speakers Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin on Monday, then US CPI on Tuesday, could materially shift this read.
23:17 UTC
Gap higher, holding above open low · RSI 76 · price 0.55635
Opening range 0.5553–0.5567 above Friday's close, gap unfilled.
The Monday Asia open gapped about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close to 0.5567 as the weekend NZ election outcome hit. That reverses Friday's fade after the strong NFP print, which had bottomed at the 0.5527 nfp low. Dips to the 0.5553 open low, near the 38.2% retracement, have been absorbed and price is back near the open, with RSI(14) at about 76 in thin early-session liquidity.
Support: 0.5553, 0.5539, 0.5527
Resistance: 0.5567, 0.5600
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 0.5567 open high puts the 0.5600 round number in reach
Failure to hold the 0.5553 open low puts the gap fill toward Friday's 0.5539 close in play
A full gap fill below 0.5539 re-exposes the 0.5527 nfp low
Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin speak Monday, ahead of US CPI on Tue 13:30 UTC; Fed tone could materially shift this read
Opening range 0.5553–0.5567, open low held four times.
Asia session opened with a 26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close after the NZ weekend election. The 0.5553 open low has held four tests at the 38.2% of Friday's 0.5599–0.5527 decline. Price is now pressing the 50% fib at 0.5563 just under the 0.5567 open high, with RSI(14) near 74 on the gap.
Support: 0.5553, 0.5539, 0.5527
Resistance: 0.5563, 0.5567, 0.5600
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 0.5567 open high breaks the opening range and brings the 0.5600 round number into view
Failure to hold the 0.5553 open low exposes a gap fill to the 0.5539 fri close, with the 0.5527 nfp low below
Fed's Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin speak Monday; backing for a December hike after the 165K NFP could reverse the gap
Lower highs since post-NFP rebound high; tight range at Friday close.
The NFP beat (165K vs 65K) knocked NZDUSD to a fresh low at the 0.5527 nfp low, and a sharp rebound to the 0.5556 nfp high was then faded through NY on a chain of lower highs. Price closed the week at 0.5539, near the 61.8% retrace of that rebound, inside a tight 0.5538–0.5543 late range.
Support: 0.55378, 0.55274
Resistance: 0.55431
What it said to watch

Saturday's NZ election leaves gap risk at Monday's open that could reset this read
Fed speakers Monday and US CPI Tuesday 13:30 UTC are the next USD drivers
21:47 UTC
Downtrend, flat into the weekly close · RSI 42 · price 0.55392
Lower highs from the Asia high, tight late-NY range above the 61.8% retrace.
NFP (165K vs 65K) drove a sweep below 0.5540 to the NFP low at 0.5527. The bounce saw rejection at the 0.5555 post-NFP high, under the lower-highs line from the 0.5599 Asia high. Late NY faded to the 61.8% retrace, and the week closed in a 0.5538–0.5543 range with RSI(14) near 42 and ATR about 3 pips.
Support: 0.5538, 0.5527
Resistance: 0.5543, 0.5555

Downtrend, compressing into Friday close · RSI 42 · price 0.55392
Post-NFP spike faded; lower highs into a tight late-NY range.
The blowout NFP (165K vs 65K) knocked NZDUSD to a 0.5527 NFP low. A sharp rebound met rejection at the 0.5556 post-NFP high, and lower highs since have pulled price back to the 61.8% fib of that rebound. Late NY closed the week in a 0.5538–0.5543 range, with the late low at 0.5538 and the range top at 0.5543.
Support: 0.55378, 0.55274
Resistance: 0.55431, 0.55503
What it said to watch
Monday's Asia open carries gap risk from the weekend NZ election, where no party is on course for a majority, and can reset this read immediately
Failure to hold the 0.5538 late low and the 61.8% fib exposes the 0.5527 NFP low
A close above the 0.5543 range top and the lower-highs line puts the 0.5550 pre-NFP high back in play
Fed speakers Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin on Monday, ahead of Tuesday's US CPI, could extend the post-NFP USD move
21:17 UTC
Downtrend, late-NY drift · RSI 41 · price 0.55392
Lower highs off the post-NFP spike, tight range above the session low.
Steady selling from the 0.5599 Asian high through London took the pair into the 0.5540s. The blowout NFP (165K vs 65K) spiked it to the 0.5527 nfp low, and the short-covering bounce to the 0.5556 nfp high has since faded along a line of lower highs. Late-NY trade is thin, pinned between the 0.5538 session low and the 0.5543 range top, with price about 58% back into the nfp rebound.
Support: 0.55378, 0.55274

Downtrend, compressing into the weekly close · RSI 41 · price 0.55392
Lower highs from the Asian high; NFP false break below 0.5540 reclaimed, then a fade back to the NY low.
NZD slid 60 pips from the 0.5599 Asian high to the 0.5540 19-month-low area by London. The NFP beat (165K vs 65K) spiked it to the 0.5527 NFP low, but that false break reversed within the hour to the 0.5556 post-NFP high at the 38.2% of the Asia-NFP fib. NY hours then faded the bounce back to 0.5539 at the weekly close, sitting on the NY low with RSI(14) near 41 and ATR only ~2.4 pips.
Support: 0.55378, 0.55274
Resistance: 0.55503
What it said to watch
NZ election result over the weekend: gap risk at Monday's open could displace the 0.5538 ny low / 0.5540 area entirely
Failure to hold the 0.5527 nfp low resumes the downtrend and erases the false break
Recovery above the 0.5550 pre-nfp high, then the 0.5556 post-nfp high and 38.2% fib, breaks the falling highs sequence

Downtrend, compressing into the close · RSI 42 · price 0.55392
Lower highs since the post-NFP bounce, tight late-NY band.
Price sold off steadily from the 0.5599 Asian high. The blowout NFP print (165K vs 65K) then drove it to a 0.5527 NFP low, and the short-covering bounce was rejected at 0.5556, about 38% of the Asia-to-NFP leg. Late NY compressed into a 0.5538–0.5543 band below both EMAs, with the ny low at 0.5538 and RSI(14) near 42.

Failure to hold the 0.5527 nfp low extends the lower-low sequence

Fed's Bowman, Goolsbee and Barkin speak Monday ahead of Tuesday's US CPI, a USD catalyst for this read
Lower highs off 0.5555, tight late range above 61.8% fib.
The blowout NFP (165K vs 65K) swept the pre-release lows and flushed NZD to the 0.5527 nfp low. A short-covering bounce to 0.5555 then faded under lower highs through NY hours. The week closed in a thin 0.5538–0.5543 late range, sitting on the 61.8% fib of the NFP bounce.

Lower highs off 0.5556, tight late-NY range at session low.
The 165K vs 65K NFP beat drove NZDUSD to an 0.5527 NFP low. A sharp bounce was rejected at the 0.5556 post-NFP high, and the move has since faded on lower highs through NY hours to a 61.8% retracement near the 0.5538 session low. Late-NY trade is compressed in a 3-pip band under the 0.5544 NY breakdown shelf, with ATR down to roughly 2.5 pips.
Support: 0.55378, 0.55274
Resistance: 0.55436, 0.55503
What it said to watch
Break below the 0.5538 session low exposes the 0.5527 NFP low
Close back above the 0.5544 NY breakdown shelf breaks the lower-highs trendline; the 0.5550 pre-NFP high is the next cap
Clearing the 0.5556 post-NFP high would negate the faded-bounce read
