23:47 UTC

Downtrend since NY, now flat · RSI 51 · price 0.56334

Lower highs off PCE spike, tight 0.5629–0.5636 range.

The soft-PCE spike to the 0.5665 pce spike hi was fully rejected as US growth beats lifted the USD. NY then printed lower highs into a 0.5629–0.5636 range with the range top near the old Asian low, and the move has faded since. Early Asia session is still inside that range, with RSI(14) flat near 51 and ATR(14) around 2 pips.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56362, 0.5650, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5629 range low exposes Tuesday support at 0.5625
  • Close above the 0.5636 range top reopens the 38.2% of the PCE fade near 0.5643 and the 0.5650 ny swing hi
  • A break of the NY lower highs trendline would end the post-PCE fade structure
  • US jobless claims 12:30 UTC and ISM/Waller 14:00 UTC are the next catalysts that could break the range

23:32 UTC

Downtrend since PCE spike, now flat · RSI 53 · price 0.56339

Tight range 0.5629–0.5636 below NY lower high.

The soft PCE print spiked NZDUSD to the 0.56645 pce high at 12:30 UTC. Growth beats then rebuilt USD demand, and NY sold the pair through a lower high at 0.56499 into 0.5633. Since mid-NY it has held a flat 0.5629–0.5636 range into the Asia session, with the session low at 0.56291, ATR near 2.4 pips and no setup in play.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5636 range top would open a retest of the 0.56499 lower high
  • Failure to hold the 0.56291 session low exposes the 0.5625 prior low
  • A reclaim of the 38.2% retracement of the PCE-high selloff would ease the lower-highs sequence
  • US Jobless Claims 12:30 UTC and ISM with Waller at 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

23:17 UTC

Downtrend, momentum drained into a tight range · RSI 44 · price 0.56323

Lower highs from the 0.5665 PCE spike high; 7-pip consolidation 0.5629–0.5636 since late NY.

The soft-PCE spike to 0.5665 met rejection within the 12:30 UTC bar, as US growth beats kept USD bid. A lower high at 0.5650 during NY hours preceded a slide into a 0.5629–0.5636 consolidation now carrying into the Asia session, with the range top capping late-NY bounces. RSI(14) near 44 and ATR around 2.4 pips show momentum has drained.

Support: 0.5629, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.5636, 0.5650, 0.5665

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5636 range top would break the consolidation and bring the 0.5650 lower high and 50% fib into view
  • Loss of the 0.5629 session low exposes 0.5625, the Tuesday low cited as key support in the digest
  • Close back above the 0.5665 pce spike high would invalidate the lower-high sequence
  • US Jobless Claims (12:30 UTC) and ISM Manufacturing with Waller (14:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

23:04 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalled · RSI 44 · price 0.56315

Lower highs since the PCE spike, now a tight 7-pip box.

The soft-PCE spike to the 0.5664 pce high at 12:30 UTC was fully rejected as US growth beats lifted the USD. NY then printed lower highs, including a 0.5650 bounce high, and ground down to the 0.5629 session low. Early Asia is compressing in a 0.5629–0.5636 box, with RSI(14) flat near 44 and ATR at about 3 pips.

Support: 0.5629, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.5636, 0.5650, 0.5664

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5629 session low exposes the 0.5625 tue low flagged in the macro digest
  • Acceptance above the 0.5636 range top ends the Asian compression and puts the 0.5650 bounce high back in focus
  • Recovery beyond the 38.2% level of the pce spike fib (~0.5643) would break the lower-high sequence
  • US jobless claims (12:30 UTC) and ISM Manufacturing with Waller (14:00 UTC) Thursday could reset this read; NZ consumer confidence follows at 21:00 UTC

22:47 UTC

Downtrend, flattening into a tight grind · RSI 43 · price 0.56321

Lower highs since the PCE spike high; compressed range just above the session low.

The 12:30 UTC soft-PCE spike to the 0.56645 pce high was rejected as US growth beats revived the USD. That left a lower-high chain through NY, with the 14:45 UTC lower high at 0.56499 sitting at the 0.5650 pivot. Price is now grinding a roughly 6-pip band into early Asia, capped at the 0.56357 range top and pressing the 0.56291 session low. RSI is near 43 and ATR is under 3 pips.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.56357 range top ends the grind and puts the 38.2% fib of the PCE spike drop near 0.5643 in play
  • Failure to hold the 0.56291 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward 0.5625 psych support
  • Recovery above the 0.56499 lower high would neutralise the post-PCE downtrend read
  • US Jobless Claims (12:30 UTC) and ISM Manufacturing with Waller (14:00 UTC) on Thursday could reset this structure

22:32 UTC

Downtrend, stalling into a tight base · RSI 43 · price 0.56321

Lower highs since the PCE spike high; 3-pip drift range near lows.

London's push to 0.5662 and the spike to the pce high at 0.5664 on the soft PCE print both met rejection. Growth beats rebuilt the USD bid, and NY printed a lower high at 0.5650 before grinding to a 0.5629 session low. Early Asia is drifting inside a 3-pip base under the 0.5636 range top, with RSI(14) near 43 and ATR compressed around 2.7 pips.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5629 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.5625 cushion
  • Reclaim of the 0.5636 range top would signal the NY-afternoon base is holding
  • Only a move back above the 0.5650 lower high breaks the post-PCE descending trendline
  • US Jobless Claims (12:30 UTC) and ISM Manufacturing with Waller (14:00 UTC) on Thursday are the next material USD risk

22:17 UTC

Down since PCE spike, now flat · RSI 44 · price 0.56332

Lower highs into a tight base above 0.5629.

Soft PCE spiked the pair to the 0.5665 pce high at 12:30 UTC, but US growth beats drew a rejection. NY then carved lower highs down to a 0.5629 session low. Since late NY, price has compressed into a 6-pip base under the 0.5636 range top, hugging EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral near 44 ahead of the Asia session.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56405, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5629 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward 0.5625 psych support
  • Reclaim of the 0.5636 range top puts the 0.5640 breakdown shelf and the 38.2% fib of the PCE fade (~0.5643) in play
  • Thursday's US jobless claims, ISM Manufacturing and Waller/Williams remarks could materially shift this read

22:04 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 37 · price 0.56307

Lower highs from 0.5665, tight range above the session low.

The PCE miss produced a pce spike to 0.5665 at the NY open. The move was fully rejected as the GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI beats firmed the USD, and a chain of lower highs, led by the 0.5650 lower high, ground price down into a 0.5630–0.5636 range through late NY. A dip around the 21:45 UTC NZ permits release printed a fresh session low at 0.5629 as Asia opens, with RSI(14) near 37 and ATR(14) about 3 pips.

Support: 0.56291, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5629 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.5625 tue low
  • Reclaim of the 0.5636 range top opens a retest of the 0.5643–0.5650 zone (38.2% fib / lower high)
  • Kashkari at 22:00 UTC could shift USD tone during thin early-Asia liquidity

21:47 UTC

Downtrend since PCE spike, now basing · RSI 50 · price 0.5634

Lower highs off 0.5664, tight 0.5630–0.5636 range.

The soft PCE print spiked the pair to 0.5664 (pce high) at 12:30 UTC, but the move was fully rejected as US growth beats backed the USD, and NY hours ground lower to a 0.5630 session low. Price has since compressed in a 0.5630–0.5636 band into the Asia open. RSI(14) is neutral near 50 and ATR is under 3 pips; the 38.2% fib of the PCE high-low drop sits near 0.5643, below the 0.5650 pivot.

Support: 0.5630, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.5636, 0.5650, 0.5664

  • Failure to hold the 0.5630 session low exposes the 0.5625 Tuesday low
  • NZ Building Permits (21:45 UTC) and Kashkari (22:00 UTC) could break the compression in thin Asia trade

21:32 UTC

Downtrend, flattening into a tight base · RSI 46 · price 0.56334

Lower highs from the PCE spike high; 0.5630–0.5636 range since late NY.

The soft-PCE spike to the 0.5665 pce high was rejected within one bar as the US growth beats capped the dollar dip. Price then carved lower highs, with 0.5650 marking the latest lower high, down to a 0.5630 session low. Since late NY it has been ranging 0.5630–0.5636 with ATR near 3 pips, and no setup is in play into the Asia session.

Support: 0.56301, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5636 range top, then 0.5650 lower high, breaks the lower-high sequence and puts the fib 50–61.8% zone in play
  • Failure to hold the 0.5630 session low exposes Tuesday's 0.5625 tue support
  • NZ Building Permits (21:45 UTC) and Fed's Kashkari (22:00 UTC) could break the tight range
  • Price back above the PCE-high trendline would negate the downtrend read

21:17 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalled · RSI 45 · price 0.56331

NY lower highs from the PCE spike, now a tight late-NY consolidation at the session low.

The 12:30 UTC US data spike set a PCE high at 0.5664, a false break of the London high, and reversed as strong GDP and Chicago PMI outweighed the soft PCE. NY then printed a lower high at 0.5650 and gave back the day's gains. Since mid-NY, price has held a ~5-pip consolidation between the 0.5630 session low and the 0.5636 range top, with RSI(14) neutral near 45 and ATR(14) around 3 pips.

Support: 0.56301, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.56499, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • A break of the 0.5630 session low exposes the 0.5625 Tue low cited in the digest
  • A close above the 0.5636 range top and the 0.5643 38.2% PCE-spike fib would challenge the NY lower-high sequence toward the 0.5650 lower high
  • NZ Building Permits (21:45 UTC) and Kashkari (22:00 UTC) could break the late-NY consolidation

21:07 UTC

Downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 41 · price 0.56318

Lower highs since the PCE spike, tight range above 0.5630.

The NY spike to the 0.5664 pce high on the soft PCE print was rejected and fully faded as beats in GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI firmed the USD. The fade left a chain of lower highs back below the Asian range, 0.5637–0.5650. Late NY hours have compressed into a 3-pip ATR range capped by the 0.5636 range top, with the 0.5630 window low tested twice.

Support: 0.5630, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56357, 0.5650, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5630 window low exposes the 0.5625 tuesday low
  • Close back above the 0.5636 range top and the 0.5637 Asian low breaks the lower-high sequence; the 50% fib of the PCE fade at 0.5647 and the 0.5650 asian high sit above
  • Kashkari at 22:00 UTC and NZ Building Permits at 21:45 UTC could jolt the thin post-NY tape

Downtrend, compressing near day low · RSI 42 · price 0.56321

Lower highs from the post-PCE spike; tight late-NY range at the prior-day low.

The 12:30 UTC spike to the 0.5665 pce high was rejected within a bar as strong GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI offset the soft PCE. NY hours then printed a lower high at 0.5650 and slid back to the 0.5630 day low. Late NY is compressing between that low and the 0.5636 range top, with ATR(14) near 3 pips and RSI(14) at 42.

Support: 0.56301, 0.5625

Resistance: 0.56362, 0.56499, 0.56645

Intraday downtrend, flattening into range · RSI 41 · price 0.56323

Post-PCE lower highs, tight 0.5630–0.5636 band.

The 12:30 UTC PCE spike to 0.5664 was rejected as beats in GDP and the Chicago PMI backed the USD. The move erased the London gains and led to lower highs at the 0.5650 bounce high. Price has compressed in a 0.5630–0.5636 band since mid-NY, with the 0.5630 day low tested twice and RSI(14) near 41.

  • A close above the 0.5636 range top exposes the 38.2% fib at ~0.5643 and the 0.5650 bounce high.
  • Reclaiming the 0.5664 pce spike high would negate the post-PCE rejection.
  • NZ Building Permits at 21:45 UTC and Kashkari at 22:00 UTC could break the late-session range.

Downtrend, compressing near lows · RSI 40 · price 0.56318

Lower highs since PCE spike rejection; tight late-NY range on window low.

The 12:30 UTC PCE print spiked NZD/USD to the 0.5665 pce spike high. Beats in GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI then drove a rejection and a lower-high sequence at 0.5650. Late NY has compressed into a 0.5630–0.5636 range capped by the range top, with price now sitting on the 0.5630 window low (RSI ~40, ATR under 3 pips).

Intraday downtrend, flattening into a tight range · RSI 41 · price 0.56325

Lower highs since the 12:30 UTC spike; 4-pip range above the window low.

The 12:30 UTC PCE spike to the 0.5664 pce high was rejected as strong GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI offset the soft core print. NY then printed lower highs, including a 14:45 UTC swing high at 0.5650, into a 0.5632–0.5636 range below the Asian range, with the range top capping since 16:00 UTC. The 19:45 UTC probe held the 0.5630 window low, matching yesterday's 21:00 UTC low; RSI(14) is near 41 and ATR is under 3 pips.

Lower highs off the 0.5664 day high, now in a tight late-NY range pressing its floor.

The spike to the 0.5664 day high on the 12:30 UTC US data was rejected. Strong GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI outweighed the soft PCE, leaving a lower high at 0.5650 and a slide into a 0.5632–0.5636 late-NY range.

The 12:30 UTC spike to 0.5665 on the soft PCE miss was fully rejected as the GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI beats lifted USD. A lower-high sequence followed into the 0.5632 ny low. Late NY has compressed into a 0.5632–0.5636 range under the range top, with ATR near 3 pips and RSI(14) flat at 44.

Lower highs from 0.5665; tight late-NY compression above session low.

The 12:30 UTC US data spike poked above the London high to 0.5665. It then reversed as the GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI beats outweighed the PCE miss, and the NY sell-off cut through the 0.5637 Asian low. Since 16:30 UTC, price has compressed in a 4-pip band between the 0.5632 session low and the 0.5636 range top, with RSI(14) near 37 and ATR(14) around 3 pips.

Lower highs from 0.5665, tight late-NY range 0.5632–0.5636.

The soft core PCE print spiked NZDUSD to the 0.5665 PCE high at 12:30 UTC, but the move was rejected as the GDP and Chicago PMI beats restored USD. Lower highs at the 0.5650 swing high followed and price slid through the 0.5636 Asian low. Since London close it has compressed in a ~4-pip band just above the 0.5632 session low, with RSI(14) near 38 and ATR(14) around 4 pips.

Lower highs since 12:30 UTC spike; tight 3-pip base above the session low.

The 12:30 UTC US data spike made a false break above the London high to a 0.5665 day high. It then fully reversed as USD recovered on the ADP/GDP/Chicago PMI beats, printing lower highs and breaking below the Asian low at 0.5637. Late NY is compressing just above the 0.5632 session low, with RSI(14) near 32 and ATR around 4 pips.

Intraday downtrend, momentum stalling at lows · RSI 31 · price 0.56327

Lower highs and lower lows since the PCE spike high; tight compression at the session low.

NZDUSD saw a rejection at the 0.5664 PCE high during NY hours as USD recovered on the ADP/GDP/Chicago PMI beats. Price has since printed a lower high below the 0.5650 pivot and slipped under the 0.5637 broken low. It is now compressing in a 3-pip band just above the 0.5632 session low after London close, with RSI(14) near 31.

Lower highs from the NY data spike; tight late-NY consolidation just above the session low.

The 12:30 UTC spike to the 0.5665 data high was rejected as GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI beats outweighed the soft core PCE and restored the USD bid. A lower high at 0.5650 and a break of the Asian low near 0.5637 followed. Price is now compressing at 0.5632–0.5636 just above the 0.5632 session low, with RSI(14) near 32 and ATR at roughly 4 pips.

The post-PCE spike to the 0.5664 day high was rejected within the NY hour after the US growth beats restored the USD bid. Price then carved lower highs through 0.5650 and cut through the 0.5637 broken low. Late in NY it is compressing just above the 0.5632 session low, on the Asian low, with RSI(14) near 37 and bar ranges shrinking.

Lower highs since NY data spike; basing at session low.

The soft core PCE print at 12:30 UTC briefly broke the London high, but the move was rejected at the 0.5665 data spike as GDP, ADP and Chicago PMI beats restored the USD bid. NY then printed lower highs, the latest at the 0.5650 lower high, down to a 0.5632 session low at the Asian range floor. Price is now basing at 0.5632–0.5636 after London close, capped by the 0.5639 breakdown level, with RSI(14) near 35 and not oversold.

Lower highs since NY spike high, trading below Asian range.

The US data burst at the NY open spiked NZDUSD to the 0.5665 NY high. The move fully reversed as ADP, GDP and Chicago PMI beats outweighed the soft core PCE, and lower highs since then have pushed price through the Asian low at 0.5636 to a 0.5632 session low. Late in NY, bars are compressing just above that low with RSI(14) near 36, not oversold.

LH/LL chain after failed 0.5665 spike; price below broken Asian low.

The soft core PCE print lifted the pair in the first hour of NY. It spiked above the London high to 0.5665, then reversed fully as the ADP, GDP and Chicago PMI beats restored the USD bid. Since then a lower-high sequence at 0.5650 and 0.5643 has pushed price through the Asian low at 0.5637 to a session low of 0.5632 after London close, with RSI(14) near 32, soft but not oversold.

The soft core PCE spike to the 0.5665 pce high, a false break above the London high, fully reversed as strong ADP, GDP and Chicago PMI data restored the USD bid. NY hours then printed a lower high at 0.5650 and a break below the 0.5637 asian low. Price is now pressing the 0.5632 session low after London close, with RSI(14) near 31.

PCE spike rejected, LH/LL chain back to the session low.

The soft core PCE print at 12:30 UTC spiked NZDUSD to the 0.5664 PCE high. The move was fully rejected as US activity beats restored the USD bid, and a chain of lower highs has since broken the 0.5640 lows during NY hours. Price now sits on the 0.5633 session low with the Asian and London gains erased; RSI(14) is near 33, soft but not oversold.

The 12:30 UTC core PCE miss spiked the pair through the London high to the 0.5665 pce high. The move was rejected almost at once and faded through NY hours in a chain of lower highs, bringing price back to the 0.5633 asian low and erasing the day's gains. RSI(14) near 34 is soft but not oversold, and price sits below the 0.5637 broken low from the 14:15 swing.

The 12:30 UTC US core PCE miss spiked NZDUSD through the London high at 0.5662 to a 0.5665 PCE spike high. The GDP and Chicago PMI beats then reversed the move to a 0.5637 session low. The rebound stalled at the 0.5650 bounce high, just under the 50% fib of that drop, leaving price near 0.5641 below both EMAs with RSI(14) ~44.

The 12:30 UTC US data release (soft core PCE, hot GDP and Chicago PMI) pushed NZDUSD to a spike high at 0.5664, just above the London high, but the break failed. The NY session has since printed a string of lower highs under a falling trendline and returned to the session low at 0.5637, below the pre-data low at 0.5642.

Recovery from 0.5626 low, stalling into NY · RSI 55 · price 0.56532

London range 0.5642–0.5662, false break higher on US data.

The core PCE miss spiked NZDUSD to a 0.5665 spike high in the first NY bar, clearing the 0.5662 London high, but the GDP and ADP beats reversed it straight back to the 0.5650 data low. Price is back inside the London session range, holding most of the rally from Tuesday's 0.5626 low. RSI(14) is neutral near 55.

Support: 0.5650, 0.5642, 0.5636

Resistance: 0.5662, 0.5665

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.5650 data low reopens the 0.5642 London low, near the 50% retracement of the rally fib
  • A break under the 0.5636 Asian low shifts the read to a deeper retracement of the rally
  • An M15 close above the 0.5665 spike high negates the false break read
  • Chicago PMI at 13:45 UTC and Fed speakers from 19:25 UTC (Cook, Goolsbee, Kashkari) could shift the post-PCE reaction

Intraday range, spiking higher on the PCE release · RSI 62 · price 0.56585

London lower highs and lower lows reversed by the 12:30 GMT spike; wick above the London high, close back below it.

London ground lower from the 0.56619 London high to a 0.56417 ADP low as the beat briefly lifted USD. The 12:30 GMT PCE release bar then ripped the pair to a 0.56645 PCE high, tagging above the London high before closing back at 0.5659, with RSI(14) near 62 and early NY holding above the 0.5650 round number.

Support: 0.5650, 0.56417, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.56619, 0.56645

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.56645 PCE high confirms the break of the London high and extends the NY-session range
  • Slip back below the 0.5650 round number, near the 61.8% of the PCE spike fib, returns price to the London range
  • Loss of the 0.56417 ADP low reopens the 0.5626 prior low from yesterday's NY session
  • PCE follow-through and Fedspeak during NY hours, then NZ Building Permits at 21:45 UTC, could shift this read

Intraday downtrend, broken on the PCE bar · RSI 61 · price 0.56557

Lower highs from London high, trendline broken on the release.

London broke the Asian range top near 0.5650 and set the london high at 0.5662, then faded in a lower-high/lower-low grind to the 0.5642 swing low into the NY open. The core PCE release bar jumped about 10 pips, back above the descending trendline and the 0.5650 psych level, and is now pressing the 0.5657 lower high.

Support: 0.5650, 0.56417

Resistance: 0.56573, 0.56619

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5657 lower high confirms the descending trendline break and brings the 0.5662 london high into view
  • Slip back below the 0.5650 psych turns the release spike into a false break, with the 0.5642 swing low next
  • The PCE reaction is still forming. ATR near 4.6 pips understates release-bar range, so the first closes after the data carry the signal.

Intraday pullback after Asia rally · RSI 37 · price 0.56449

Lower highs and lower lows since London open.

The Asia rally, helped by Williams' 'no urgency' remarks and the China PMI beat, ran from the 0.5637 swing low to a session high at 0.5662 at London open, then was rejected. London printed lower highs at 0.5657 and 0.5655 and a London low at 0.5643, taking price back below the 0.5650 round number and into the 61.8–78.6% zone of the Asia rally fib ahead of ADP/PCE.

  • Core PCE at 12:30 UTC, with ADP landing in the current bar, could materially shift this read; ATR near 4.5 pips will likely expand
  • M15 close below the 0.5643 London low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 0.5637 swing low, then Tuesday's prior low near 0.5626
  • Close back above the 0.5650 round number and the 0.5655 lower high breaks the London trendline resistance and the lower-high sequence
  • Retest of the 0.5662 session high on a soft PCE would put the London rejection in question

London open took NZD through the 0.5650 Asian high to a 0.5662 london high as USD softened on Williams' remarks. The rejection there has since produced lower highs at 0.5657 and 0.5655, and price is testing the 0.5644 session low at the 50% retracement of the NY low–London high leg, back under the asian high.

Since then lower highs at 0.5657 and 0.5655 have pressed price back to the asian high and the 50% fib of the Asia-London leg, with the london low at 0.5644 holding.

Intraday pullback, lower highs since London open · RSI 49 · price 0.56483

Lower highs and lower lows off the 0.5662 session high, back inside the Asian range.

The kiwi's rebound on Williams' dovish tilt carried the Asian rally from 0.5637 into a false break above the Asian high at London open, with a rejection at the 0.5662 session high. Since then London has printed lower highs at 0.5657 and 0.5655 and dipped to a 0.5644 london low near the 61.8% retrace, with RSI(14) neutral around 49 and price below EMA20.

  • Failure to hold the 0.5646 London low opens the 50% fib near 0.5644 and the 0.5634 Asian low, with the 0.5626 Tuesday low below
  • A close back above the 0.5650 Asian high and the lower-highs trendline near 0.5654 would neutralise the fading London structure
  • The 0.5662 session high caps the range; a break above it would extend the rally from the Tuesday low

The pre-London rally, tracking Williams' 'no urgency' remark and the China PMI beat, broke the asian high at 0.5650 and set a session high at 0.5662 in the first hour of London. Pullbacks since have held the london low at 0.5646, near the 61.8% fib of the leg, but a lower high at 0.5657 leaves price mid-range at 0.5653 with RSI(14) neutral near 49.

Late in the Asia session, NZDUSD broke above the Asian range top near 0.5650 and ran to a 0.5662 session high at the London open. The move extends the rebound from yesterday's 0.5626 NY low, after Williams' 'no urgency' remarks on an October Fed hike.

NZD extended its Williams-driven rebound out of the Asian range into London, but the london high at 0.5662 marked a false break of the prior-day top and was rejected. Price has since held the london lows at 0.5646 twice, near the 61.8% retrace of the asian low-to-london high leg, while a lower high at 0.5657 compresses the box.

Higher lows off 0.5626; Asian range broken higher, London open rejected at 0.5662.

Early Europe broke the Asian range top near 0.5650, extending the short-covering bounce off yesterday's 0.5626 prior low after the China PMI beat. The first hour of London poked just above yesterday's 0.5660 high to a 0.5662 session high and was rejected back to 0.5654. Higher lows at the 0.5637 asian low and the 0.5647 swing low keep the micro uptrend intact.

Support: 0.56468, 0.56367, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.56619

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5662 session high negates the rejection and extends the higher-high chain
  • Break of the 0.5647 swing low ends the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.5637 asian low
  • US ADP (12:15 UTC) and Core PCE (12:30 UTC, f/c 3.3%) could materially shift this read; loss of the 0.5626 prior low reopens the slide

Intraday uptrend off Asia lows, testing prior high · RSI 66 · price 0.56593

Asian range broken higher, higher lows since 05:15 UTC, capped at prior-day high.

The pre-London rally broke the Asian high at 0.5650 and tagged 0.5661, matching yesterday's prior high at 0.5660. A pullback to the 0.5647 swing low held on a retest of the old range top, and price is back pressing 0.5660 at London open. The bounce tracks the China PMI beat and an easing DXY; RSI(14) at 66 is firm but not stretched, and rising lows off the Asian low are intact.

Support: 0.5650, 0.56468, 0.56367

Resistance: 0.56609

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.5661 prior high opens the 0.5665–0.5680 area, the last wk high zone
  • Failure to hold the 0.5647 swing low and the 0.5650 asian high puts price back inside the Asian range toward the 0.5637 asian low
  • A break of the rising lows line from the 05:15 UTC asian low weakens the intraday uptrend read

Intraday recovery, stalled at prior high · RSI 54 · price 0.56506

Higher lows since Asian low; rejection at 0.5661.

At the London open the pair sits at 0.5650. A pre-London push, helped by the China PMI beat, broke the Asian range higher and briefly took out the prior high at 0.5661 before being rejected. The pullback low at 0.5647 held near the 61.8% retracement of the 0.5637–0.5661 leg, and RSI(14) is neutral at ~54.

Support: 0.56468, 0.56367, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.56609

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.5661 prior high negates the false break read
  • Close below the 0.5647 pullback low breaks the rising lows trendline and exposes the asian low at 0.5637
  • Failure to hold the 0.5626 prior low (Tuesday's 0.5625 cushion) confirms a lower-low

Intraday recovery, higher lows · RSI 63 · price 0.56554

Asian range broken higher, stalling at session high.

A late-Asia push cleared the Asian range, with the 0.5650 asia high giving way. Price tagged a 0.5661 session high, a marginal break of yesterday's 0.5660 London high, then printed a quick rejection back to 0.5655. The China PMI beat and a softer DXY supported the bid, and the 0.5637 swing low extends the higher-low sequence off yesterday's 0.5626 prior low.

Support: 0.5650, 0.5637, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.5661

What it said to watch

  • Hold above the 0.5650 asia high, near the fib 50% at 0.5649, keeps the breakout intact into London open
  • M15 close back below the 0.5637 swing low and the higher-low trendline invalidates the recovery read
  • Sustained close above the 0.5661 session high clears yesterday's high and opens the 0.5665–0.5680 area
  • US ADP (12:15 UTC) and core PCE (12:30 UTC, f/c 3.3%) could materially shift this read
  • Loss of the 0.5626 prior low puts the 0.5600 area in focus

Intraday uptrend off NY low, RSI hot · RSI 72 · price 0.56565

Late-Asia break above Asian range, rising lows.

A late-Asia push cleared the 0.5650 Asian high as DXY eased and China's PMI beat, lifting price to 0.5656 ahead of the London open with RSI(14) at 72. The rally from the NY low at 0.5626 has retraced most of yesterday's NY-session drop from the 0.5660 prior high, and the rising lows from 0.5626 through the 0.5637 swing low are intact.

Support: 0.5650, 0.56367, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.5660

What it said to watch

  • A retest that holds the 0.5650 asian high keeps the range break valid. A drop back inside the Asian range reopens 0.5637.
  • An M15 close above the 0.5660 prior high clears the origin of yesterday's NY sell-off.
  • A break of the 0.5637 swing low breaks the rising lows line from the 0.5626 NY low.
  • US ADP at 12:15 UTC and core PCE at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read.

Late Asia, about an hour before London open. NZD/USD is making a second test of the 0.5650 asian high, lifted by a softer DXY and the China PMI beat off yesterday's 0.5626 prior low. The trendline of higher lows from 0.5626 through the 0.5637 asian low is intact, with RSI(14) near 61 and ATR around 4 pips.

  • Failure to hold the 0.5637 asian low breaks the trendline and reopens the 0.5626 prior low
  • Stalling at 0.5650 again leaves a flat range top and keeps price inside the Asian range

Higher-low sequence inside 0.5637–0.5650 Asian range.

Late Asia session, about 1.5h before London open. Price has built higher lows off the 0.5626 NY low and just bounced from the 0.5637 swing low back to 0.5644, inside a 0.5637–0.5650 Asian range. The China PMI beat and a softer DXY lifted the Asia bid, but supply capped the move at the 0.5650 asia high; RSI(14) near 56, ATR about 4 pips.

Flat after NY sell-off, momentum soft · RSI 44 · price 0.56394

Asian range 0.5637–0.5650 above the 0.5626 NY low.

After the NY sell-off stalled at the 0.5626 NY low, NZDUSD built an Asian range of 0.5637–0.5650 as DXY eased and China's PMI beat. The 0.5650 asia high rejected price, which has slipped back to the 50% retracement of the NY low to asia high move near 0.5638. RSI(14) is 44, price sits just below both EMAs, and it is late Asia with London yet to open.

Asian range 0.5637–0.5650, price back in lower half.

NZDUSD rebounded off the 0.5626 NY low as DXY eased and China's PMI beat, but the Asian high at 0.5650 drew a rejection and price slipped back to 0.5640, between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the bounce. Late Asia session, RSI(14) at 45 and price under EMA20, still inside the 0.5637–0.5650 range.

Support: 0.56365, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.56499, 0.5660

Late Asia session. NZD/USD built higher lows off the 0.5626 NY low (the 0.5625 floor) as DXY eased and China's PMI beat, but it was rejected at the 0.5650 asia high and has slipped back to the 38.2% fib near 0.5640.

Higher lows through Asia, capped at 0.5650 Asian high.

NZD/USD is grinding higher off the 0.5626 NY low, which held near the 0.5625 support flagged in the news digest. The bounce came as DXY eased and China's PMI beat. Late in the Asia session the pair was rejected at the 0.5650 Asian high and is now holding just above EMA20 at 0.5644, with higher lows intact along the rising trendline and price near the 23.6% fib of the NY-low-to-Asian-high move.

Asia session has built higher lows off the 0.5634 asian low on a mild DXY pullback and the China PMI beat, clawing back yesterday's NY slide to the 0.5626 ny low. The push met a rejection at the 0.5650 round number, and price now sits just above the 0.5643 pullback low with RSI(14) near 57.

Asia higher highs and higher lows testing 61.8% of NY drop.

Late in the Asia session, price has put in higher highs and higher lows off the 0.5634 asia low. It is now retesting the 0.5647 session high, the 61.8% retrace of the NY drop from the 0.5660 prior high to the 0.5626 day low. The soft ANZ survey barely registered, and the 0.5650 psych level just overhead is the break level after yesterday's close below it. RSI(14) sits near 58 and ATR is about 4 pips.

Price is at 0.5645, having retraced about half of yesterday's NY drop from 0.5660 to the 0.5626 day low as the USD bid held and the soft ANZ surveys weighed on NZD. The 0.5647 swing high (near the 61.8% fib) and the 0.5650 broken floor sit directly overhead, with RSI(14) near 61 and no extremes.

Mid-Asia session, price is pinned under the asian high at 0.5645. That cap has rejected four bars in a row, right at the 50% retrace of the 0.5660–0.5626 London-to-NY drop, while asian lows near 0.5637 keep printing higher lows off yesterday's 0.5626 ny low. Soft ANZ surveys drew little reaction, and the USD bid keeps the 0.5650 broken floor overhead.

Since then, Asia has printed higher lows at the 0.5634 asian low, while supply caps at 0.5645–0.5647, the NY bounce high and 38.2% retrace of yesterday's drop. Mid-Asia, price sits near the range top with RSI(14) near 58 and ATR a quiet ~4 pips.

Asia session is pressing the top of its range into the 0.5647 bounce high, which sits at the 61.8% retrace of yesterday's 0.5660 ny high to 0.5626 swing low drop. That slide followed the RBA-driven break of the 0.5650 broken floor. Higher lows at 0.5637 through Asia point to a corrective rebound, with supply still capping below 0.5650.

After the post-RBA slide into a 0.56260 swing low during NY hours, the rebound stalled at 0.56466, the NY swing high, and highs have stepped lower since. Asia is compressing in an 8-pip band between the Asian low at 0.56335, near the 61.8% retrace of that bounce, and the Asian high at 0.56417. Price is testing the top of the band with RSI(14) near 49 and ATR(14) around 4 pips.

The Asia session is holding a 10-pip band between the asian high at 0.5644 and the asian low at 0.5634. This follows NY's USD-driven slide to the 0.5626 ny low, where the rebound stalled at the 61.8% of the NY leg fib (swing high 0.5647). RSI(14) sits near 47, price is pinned to flat EMAs and ATR is roughly 4 pips, so no directional setup is in play.

The RBA-driven slide broke 0.5650 psych and extended in NY to the 0.5626 NY low on firm USD and yields. The pair is now boxed in a 0.5633 asian low to 0.5644 session high Asia session range, stalling at the 38.2–50% zone of the NY sell-off fib, below the lower highs line and the 0.5647 swing high.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5644 session high and 0.5647 swing high breaks the lower highs sequence and brings 0.5650 psych into play
  • Failure to hold the 0.5633 asian low exposes the 0.5630 rollover low and the 0.5626 NY low
  • Month-end flows and US ADP / Core PCE at 12:15–12:30 UTC today could materially shift this read

Downtrend, pausing above the 0.5626 low · RSI 53 · price 0.56411

Lower highs capping, higher lows forming; early Asia compression 0.5636–0.5644.

The kiwi slid from its 0.5677 Asia high after the RBA hike came with softer guidance. It extended to the 0.5626 NY low as USD tracked yields higher, and that low has held since. Early Asia is compressing between the 0.5636 higher low and the 0.5644 session high, which sits at the 50% retrace of the NY decline, with price pinned at EMA20/EMA50 and RSI(14) neutral near 53.

Support: 0.56363, 0.56335, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.56439, 0.56466, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 0.5644 session high and the lower-highs trendline opens the 0.5647 swing high and the 0.5650 psych level
  • Failure to hold the 0.5636 higher low and the 0.5633 asia low exposes the 0.5626 ny low
  • US ADP (12:15 UTC) and core PCE (12:30 UTC) later today could materially shift this read, and month-end flows add noise

Downtrend, corrective bounce stalling · RSI 48 · price 0.56383

Lower highs after NY low; tight early-Asia range under prior lows.

The post-RBA slide broke the Asian and London lows and bottomed at the 0.5626 NY low. The bounce was rejected at the 0.5647 bounce high, the 61.8% fib of the leg from the 0.5660 london high. Early Asia is holding 0.5634–0.5644, sitting on a flat EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral near 48, as USD haven and yield demand keep the kiwi heavy.

Support: 0.56335, 0.5626

Resistance: 0.5644, 0.56466, 0.5660

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5647 bounce high clears the 61.8% fib and breaks the lower-high sequence toward the 0.5660 london high
  • 0.5644 prior lows (old Asian/London floor) capping for a third time reinforces the rejection read
  • Loss of the 0.5634 swing low exposes the 0.5626 ny low
  • US ADP (12:15 UTC) and core PCE (12:30 UTC) later Wed are the next USD catalysts that could reset this range

Resistance: 0.5644, 0.56466, 0.5650

What it said to watch
