Post-NFP spike faded, late-NY range · RSI 47 · price 0.69542

Lower high at 0.69595 vs 0.69752 NFP high; higher low at 0.69446 above London high.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K f/c) drove AUD from 0.6938 to a 0.69752 session high (nfp high). Sellers then faded the spike through NY hours to a 0.69446 swing low, a near 78.6% retracement that held just above the London high. The late-NY bounce stalled at a 0.69595 lower high, and price is pinned around a flat EMA20 near 0.6955 into the Friday close, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

Support: 0.6949, 0.69446

Resistance: 0.69595, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.69595 lower high breaks the post-NFP lower-high trendline and reopens the 0.69752 nfp high
  • Loss of the 0.6949 range floor exposes the 0.69446 swing low and the 78.6% fib
  • A break under the 0.69446 swing low erases most of the NFP leg
  • Weekend gap risk: AU Services PMI Sun 23:00 UTC and Monday ISM Services (14:00 UTC) can reset this read at the open

20:32 UTC

Post-NFP uptrend, pausing into the weekly close · RSI 62 · price 0.69575

Higher low at 0.6945 after the NFP spike, compressing below the 0.6960 late high.

The 29K NFP miss lifted AUDUSD through the 0.6950 area to a 0.6975 NFP high. The NY pullback held the 0.6945 swing low near the 50% retracement of the Asia-to-NFP leg, and price has since rebuilt toward the 0.6960 late high. Ranges are shrinking late in the NY session ahead of the weekly close.

Support: 0.69446, 0.6938

Resistance: 0.69595, 0.69752, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6960 late high opens a retest of the 0.6975 NFP high, with 0.7000 round number beyond
  • Failure to hold the 0.6945 swing low and the rebound line breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.6938 pre-NFP base
  • Weekend gap risk: AU Services PMI (f/c 51.4) Sun 23:00 UTC, then US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC could materially shift this read

20:17 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, late NY recovery stalling · RSI 48 · price 0.69567

Higher low at 0.6949 after London-high retest, capped at 50% fib.

The 29K NFP miss pushed AUDUSD through the 0.6946 London-session high to a 0.6975 nfp high. NY then gave most of it back to a 0.6945 swing low, a retest of that London high. A late-NY higher low at 0.6949 has bounced into the 50% fib of the post-NFP drop near 0.6960, where the bounce is stalling into the Friday close with RSI(14) neutral.

Support: 0.6949, 0.69446, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69599, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.6960 (50% fib) reopens the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Break of the 0.6949 higher low and 0.6945 swing low fails the London-high retest, exposing the 0.6931 london low
  • Weekend close: AU Services PMI (Sun 23:00 UTC) and US ISM Services (Mon 14:00 UTC) could gap or reset this read

20:03 UTC

Post-NFP uptrend, higher low in place · RSI 57 · price 0.69587

NFP breakout, retest of pre-NFP high held, late-NY recovery.

The soft NFP print (29K vs 90K) broke AUDUSD out of the 0.6935–0.6946 London range to a 0.6975 nfp high. The NY pullback held 0.6945, the swing low at the pre-NFP high, near the 50% fib of the Asia-to-NFP leg and on rising support. Late NY has reclaimed the 0.6951 range top and is pressing the 0.6960 late high.

Support: 0.6951, 0.69446

Resistance: 0.69595, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6960 late high exposes the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Close back below the 0.6951 range top reopens the 0.6945 swing low
  • Break of the 0.6945 swing low and rising support undercuts the NFP breakout-retest read
  • Friday close into weekend: AU Services PMI Sun 23:00 UTC and US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC can gap the Monday open

19:32 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, late NY rebound · RSI 59 · price 0.69579

Double top at 0.6975, higher low at 0.6949 above the NY low.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) broke AUDUSD out of the 0.6931–0.6946 London range to a 0.6975 NFP high. A double top there saw NY retrace about 70% of the leg on the NFP leg fib, down to a 0.6945 NY low that retested the old range top. Late NY demand has since lifted price back into the 0.6959 breakdown level, with RSI(14) near 59.

Support: 0.6949, 0.6945

Resistance: 0.6959, 0.6975

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6959 breakdown level puts the 0.6975 NFP high and double top back in focus
  • Failure to hold the 0.6949 swing low exposes the 0.6945 NY low; a break below would undercut the NFP leg fib 61.8%
  • Friday late-NY liquidity thins into the weekend; AU services PMI (Oct 4, 23:00 GMT) and US ISM Services on Monday could shift this read

19:17 UTC

Post-NFP spike, retraced, now basing · RSI 54 · price 0.69549

Higher lows off 0.6945 swing low below 0.6958.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) broke AUD out of the 0.6931-0.6946 pre-NFP range to a 0.6975 NFP high. Twin tops at 0.6975/0.6974 gave way to a slide to the 0.6945 swing low, the 50% fib of the day's 0.6913-0.6975 move. Late NY is printing rising lows and pressing the 0.6958 breakdown area, where the 15:00 GMT drop accelerated.

Support: 0.69446, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69577, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6958 breakdown level reopens the 0.6975 NFP high
  • Loss of the 0.6945 swing low breaks the rising lows and the 50% fib, exposing the 0.6931 pre-nfp low
  • Late-Friday NY liquidity is thinning; next scheduled USD risk is Monday's ISM Services (f/c 55.7)

19:04 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, compressing · RSI 44 · price 0.6950

Lower highs from 0.6975 NFP high, tight range 0.6945–0.6952 late NY.

The US NFP miss (29K vs 90K) lifted AUDUSD from 0.6948 to a 0.6975 NFP high. The spike faded through NY along a falling fade line back to the 0.6945 swing low, which sits at the pre-NFP high and the 50% fib of the Asia-low-to-NFP-high move. Late NY is now compressing between 0.6945 and the 0.6952 range top, below EMA20, with RSI(14) near 44.

Support: 0.69446, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69516, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6945 swing low exposes the 61.8% fib near 0.6937 and the 0.6931 london low
  • M15 close above the 0.6952 range top and the nfp fade line reopens the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Liquidity thins after NY close into the weekend; ISM Services Monday 14:00 UTC is the next scheduled USD risk

18:32 UTC

Post-NFP spike fading, flat into late NY · RSI 41 · price 0.69507

Lower highs from 0.6975, holding the 61.8% fib.

The US NFP miss (29K vs 90K) drove a 44-pip spike from the 0.6931 pre-nfp low to the 0.6975 nfp high in the first hour of NY, clearing the Asian range and London high. The move has since retraced to the 61.8% fib near 0.6948. Late NY is compressing in a 0.6945–0.6954 band, between the swing low and a lower high.

Support: 0.6948, 0.69446, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69542, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6945 swing low exposes the 78.6% retracement at 0.6941 and the 0.6931 pre-nfp low
  • M15 close above the 0.6954 lower high reopens the path to the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Holding the 61.8% fib keeps the breakout-retest read intact into the Friday close

18:17 UTC

Post-NFP spike fully faded, flattening late NY · RSI 48 · price 0.69502

Lower highs from 0.6975 into a tight base above the 0.6945 london high.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K f/c) lifted AUDUSD to the 0.6975 nfp high in the first hour of NY, but the move was rejected and fully faded. Price is now retesting the 0.6945 london high near the 61.8% of the nfp leg fib, in a 0.6945–0.6952 band capped by the ema20 late in the NY session.

Support: 0.6945, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6952, 0.6959, 0.6975

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6945 london high erases the release move and exposes the 0.6931 pre-nfp low
  • Recovery above the 0.6959 breakdown level reopens the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Friday-close liquidity is thin; the AU Services PMI on Oct 4 at 23:00 GMT is the next scheduled catalyst

18:04 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, pullback stalling · RSI 47 · price 0.69504

Lower highs from 0.6975, tight base 0.6945-0.6952.

The US NFP miss (29K vs 90K) lifted AUD/USD from the 0.6931 London low to a 0.6975 NFP high during NY hours. The spike was rejected and has faded on a lower-high sequence back to the 61.8% fib of the move near 0.6948. Late NY session price is compressing between the 0.6945 post-NFP low and a 0.6952 range top, with RSI(14) neutral and price below EMA20.

Support: 0.6948, 0.69446, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69516, 0.69587, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6945 post-nfp low takes out the 61.8% fib and puts the 78.6% at 0.6941, then the 0.6931 london low, in play
  • M15 close above the 0.6952 range top and the 0.6959 lower high reopens the path to the 0.6975 nfp high
  • Thin late-Friday NY liquidity into the weekend; next USD catalyst is Monday's ISM Services (f/c 55.7)

17:32 UTC

Post-NFP spike fully unwound, intraday downtrend · RSI 45 · price 0.69457

Double top at nfp high, lower highs into late NY, retest of london high.

The soft US NFP print (29K vs 90K) lifted AUD/USD about 27 pips in the 12:30 GMT bar, but a double top at the 0.6975 nfp high and a run of lower highs since London close have erased the move. Late in the NY session, price sits on the 0.6946 london high, below the 61.8% fib at 0.6948 with the 78.6% fib at 0.6941 next underneath.

Support: 0.69456, 0.69408, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69481, 0.6951, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 78.6% fib at 0.6941 fully negates the NFP spike and exposes the pre-nfp low at 0.6931
  • Close back above the 61.8% fib at 0.6948 and the lower highs line near 0.6951 would stall the post-NFP fade
  • Friday late-NY liquidity is thin; next scheduled AUD risk is the AU Services PMI on Oct 4 at 23:00 GMT

17:17 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, short-term lower highs · RSI 49 · price 0.6949

Double top at 0.6975, neckline broken, holding 61.8% fib.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K, soft wages) lifted AUD/USD from 0.6948 to the 0.6975 nfp high in the first hour of NY. That high was rejected twice, forming a double top, and price broke the 0.6963 neckline. The pair has since retraced to the 61.8% fib and post-nfp low near 0.6947, sitting below the ema20 at 0.6953 and just above the EMA50, with RSI(14) flat at 49.

Support: 0.6947, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6953, 0.6975

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6947 post-nfp low and 61.8% fib exposes the pre-nfp low at 0.6931
  • Reclaim of the ema20 at 0.6953 plus a break of the lower highs trendline would neutralise the fade
  • The nfp high at 0.6975 caps the double top; a close above it invalidates the pattern
  • Late NY on Friday after the London close: thin liquidity into the weekend can produce erratic M15 bars

The soft NFP print (29K vs 90K) lifted AUDUSD from 0.6938 to a 0.6975 NFP high, but NY session rejected that high and printed a run of lower highs. Price has given back about 78.6% of the spike and is retesting the 0.6946 pre-NFP high, sitting on EMA50 with RSI(14) near 45.

Support: 0.6946, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6958, 0.6975

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6946 pre-NFP high returns price to the 0.6931–0.6946 pre-NFP range, with the range low at 0.6931 next
  • Recapture of the 0.6958 breakdown level breaks the lower-highs sequence and reopens the 0.6975 NFP high

Post-NFP spike fading, short-term lower highs · RSI 41 · price 0.69506

NFP breakout above London high now retracing toward the breakout level.

The 29K NFP miss at 12:30 GMT drove AUDUSD from the 0.6931 pre-NFP low through the 0.6946 London high to the 0.6975 NFP high. The move has faded in the NY session, breaking the 0.6963 NY swing low. Price is now 0.6951, holding just above the 0.6949 post-NFP low near the 61.8% fib, with EMA50 flat underneath.

Resistance: 0.69627, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • A close back below the 0.6946 London high fails the NFP breakout and puts the 0.6931 pre-NFP low back in view
  • Reclaiming the 0.6963 NY swing low undoes the lower-high sequence and reopens the 0.6975 NFP high
  • Liquidity thins after London close into the weekend; Monday's ISM Services at 14:00 GMT is the next USD catalyst

16:03 UTC

Post-NFP spike fully faded, momentum turning lower · RSI 46 · price 0.69518

NFP breakout reversed; lower high at 0.6974 and break of post-NFP low, now testing the breakout level.

The weak US NFP print at 12:30 GMT (29K vs 90K, wages soft) broke price out through the London high and set a session high at 0.6975. Supply capped it twice near that high, and a break of the post-NFP low at 0.6963 has since unwound the move to the 61.8% fib near 0.6949, where the pre-NFP high is now being retested. Price sits below EMA20 with RSI(14) near 46.

Support: 0.6949, 0.69456, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69627, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back above the post-NFP low at 0.6963 would neutralise the reversal read and put the session high at 0.6975 back in play
  • Failure to hold the pre-NFP high / 61.8% fib at 0.6949 would leave the full NFP move retraced, exposing the London high at 0.6946 and then the London low at 0.6931
  • Liquidity thins into the late-NY Friday close; the next scheduled risk is AU Services PMI on Oct 4 at 23:00 GMT

15:47 UTC

Lower high at 0.6974 after 0.6975 NY high; pullback holding the pre-NFP breakout at 0.6949.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K f/c) broke AUD out of its 0.6931–0.6946 London range to a 0.6975 NFP high. A lower high at 0.6974 and the loss of the 0.6963 shelf have since pulled price back to the 50% retracement near 0.6953. The 15:15 UTC low held at 0.6949, a retest of the NFP breakout level, and RSI(14) is neutral at 47 in the second half of NY.

Support: 0.6949, 0.6946, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6958, 0.6963, 0.6975

What it said to watch

  • A close below the 0.6949 NFP breakout and the 0.6946 London high returns price to the pre-NFP range and exposes the 0.6931 London low.
  • A recovery through the 38.2% fib at 0.6958 and the 0.6963 shelf reopens the 0.6975 NFP high.
  • Friday liquidity thins after London close, and US ISM Services on Monday is the next USD catalyst for this read.

Breakout above London range, pulled back to 61.8% fib.

The 29K NFP miss lifted AUDUSD out of the 0.6931–0.6946 London range to an nfp high of 0.6975. Two rejections there have since unwound most of the move during NY hours, with price now retesting the fib 61.8 at 0.6949 just above the London high and capped by the ema20 at 0.6957; RSI(14) is neutral near 51.

Support: 0.69489, 0.69456, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69572, 0.69752

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the fib 61.8 at 0.6949 puts price back inside the London range, exposing the london high at 0.6946 and then the london low at 0.6931
  • Recovery above the ema20 at 0.6957 and then the nfp high at 0.6975 would restore the post-NFP breakout structure

Post-NFP uptrend, fading into NY afternoon · RSI 51 · price 0.69569

NFP range break, double top at session high, retracing.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K, soft wages) produced a range break above the 0.6946 London high, running to a 0.6975 NY session high. A lower high at 0.6974 and the close below the 0.6963 broken low form a double top, and price is now back at the 50% fib of the NFP move, testing the 0.6956 post-NFP low with RSI(14) neutral near 51.

The 29K NFP miss at 12:30 GMT drove a range break through the Asian range and the London high at 0.6946, with a 44-pip post-NFP impulse to the NFP high at 0.6975. Mid-NY session, price is compressing between the post-NFP low at 0.6963 and 0.6975, holding inside the 23.6–38.2% retracement of the post-NFP impulse, with RSI(14) cooled to ~66.

Uptrend, post-NFP impulse · RSI 68 · price 0.69709

Breakout above London high, higher lows in NY.

The soft US NFP (29K vs 90K, wages light) cleared the 0.6946 London high and lifted AUDUSD about 30 pips in two bars. That level had capped the pair since yesterday's NY session and through London's 0.6931–0.6946 band. Early NY has since built a higher low at 0.6966 above the 0.6959 nfp dip low, which sits on the 38.2% of the NFP leg, and set a session high at 0.6975; RSI(14) is near 68, warm but not stretched.

Support: 0.69661, 0.69591, 0.69456

Resistance: 0.69752, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below 0.6959 nfp dip low (38.2% of the NFP leg fib) breaks the higher-low chain
  • Failure to hold 0.6946 london high puts price back inside the pre-NFP range
  • Close above 0.6975 session high opens the 0.7000 round number, with Wednesday's 0.6995 high just beneath
  • Loss of the 0.6966 higher low turns the NY structure into a range below the session high

Uptrend, impulsive post-NFP breakout · RSI 74 · price 0.69712

Broke above London range, holding near session high.

The soft NFP print (29K vs 90K, wages 0.1% m/m) drove AUDUSD through the 0.6931–0.6946 London range, with the london high at 0.6946 giving way and price reaching a 0.6973 session high, about 40 pips above the pre-nfp low. The first nfp pullback held 0.6959 and bars are pinned near the highs, with RSI(14) at 74 and ATR near 7 pips, now roughly double the pre-release pace.

Support: 0.6959, 0.69456, 0.69314

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6973 session high opens the 0.7000 round number
  • Close back below the 0.6959 nfp pullback low exposes the 0.6946 london high near the 61.8% of the nfp leg fib
  • Loss of the 0.6931 pre-nfp low and the rising lows line negates the breakout
  • US Factory Orders at 14:00 GMT and thin pre-weekend NY hours could shift this read

Uptrend, accelerating post-NFP · RSI 77 · price 0.69708

Higher lows from Asian low, London high broken.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K, soft wages) sent a 21-pip candle through the London high at 0.6946, and the first post-NFP pullback held at 0.6959 before a fresh session high at 0.6972 early in the NY session. RSI(14) at 77 is stretched after the spike. The rising support line from the Asian low at 0.6913 through the pre-NFP low at 0.6931 is intact.

Support: 0.6959, 0.6946, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6972, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6972 session high opens the path to the 0.7000 round number
  • Failure to hold the 0.6959 nfp pullback low puts the 0.6946 London high retest in play
  • A close back below the 0.6946 London high would mark the NFP breakout as a false break
  • Break of the rising support line near the 0.6931 pre-NFP low invalidates the higher-low chain
  • Pullbacks into the 38.2–50% retrace of the pre-NFP leg (0.6956–0.6952) would test post-NFP demand
  • US Factory Orders at 14:00 UTC is a minor catalyst while the payroll repricing is still being digested

Impulsive post-NFP breakout, stalling below high · RSI 66 · price 0.69597

Higher lows since Asia; NFP spike cleared London high and Asian range.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K, soft wages) lifted AUDUSD through the 0.6946 London high and the Asian range in the first hour of NY. Price tagged 0.6970 three times, and the rejection at the NFP high pulled it back toward the 0.6955 post-NFP low. The 61.8% fib of the spike sits on the London high, and the rising lows from Asia stay intact, with ATR roughly 60 pips after the spike.

Support: 0.69559, 0.69456, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69699, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.6955 post-NFP low exposes the 0.6946 London high / 61.8% fib confluence
  • Close above the 0.6970 NFP high reopens the path to 0.7000 psych
  • Loss of the 0.6931 pre-NFP low breaks the rising lows and negates the breakout read

Impulsive uptrend after NFP, RSI hot · RSI 76 · price 0.69669

Post-NFP breakout above London range and prior-day high.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K, soft wages) drove a 38-pip NY-open breakout from the 0.6931 swing low through the 0.6946 London high and yesterday's 0.6953 prior high. Price is now pausing just under the 0.6970 session high, with RSI(14) near 76 and ATR stretched by the release bars.

Support: 0.6953, 0.6946, 0.6931

Resistance: 0.6970, 0.7000

  • A hold above the 0.6953 prior high keeps the breakout intact; 50% fib of the NFP leg sits at the same area
  • A slip back below the 0.6946 London high marks the move as a false break
  • An M15 close above the 0.6970 session high opens the path to 0.7000 psych
  • A loss of the rising trendline from the Asia low near the 0.6931 swing low erodes the post-NFP structure

US NFP at 12:30 GMT drove a ~21-pip spike out of the 0.6931–0.6946 London range to a 0.6969 nfp high. Price is holding near 0.6957, above yesterday's 0.6953 prior high, with the 13-pip upper wick showing some supply at the spike. Higher lows from the 0.6913 Asia low and the 0.6931 swing low remain intact, and RSI(14) at 67 is firm but not stretched.

Support: 0.69531, 0.69456, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69692, 0.7000

  • M15 close above the 0.6969 nfp high opens the path to the 0.7000 round number

Higher lows from Asian low; London range broken higher.

Price pressed through the London high at 0.69456 just before the 12:30 GMT NFP release, then spiked to 0.69692 and cleared the 0.6950 psych level after a five-day slide left AUD oversold. Lows have been rising since the Asian low at 0.69126, with London holding a 0.69314–0.69456 range before the break. The release bar is inflating ATR.

Support: 0.6950, 0.69456, 0.69314

Resistance: 0.69692, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 0.6950 psych level would turn the NFP spike into a false break
  • A return under the london high at 0.69456 puts price back inside the London range and negates the breakout
  • Acceptance above the spike high at 0.69692 opens the 0.7000 round number
  • A break of the london low at 0.69314 and the rising-lows trendline ends the higher-low chain
  • NFP wage details and US Factory Orders at 14:00 GMT can extend release volatility

Lows are still rising off the 0.6913 Asian low and RSI(14) is neutral near 53 at the London-NY transition, with NFP minutes away.

Asia rebounded from the 0.6913 asian low and London extended it to a 0.6946 session high before fading. Dips held in the 0.6931–0.6933 area, the London low near the 38.2% fib of that rally, and price sits mid-range at 0.6939. RSI(14) is neutral near 47 and ATR is about 4 pips, so ranges are compressed ahead of US payrolls.

Yesterday's hot ISM prices paid sent the pair down to 0.6903. It then climbed from the 0.6913 asian low to a 0.6946 session high early in London, where it met rejection. Since then a chain of lower highs has pulled price back to the 0.6931 swing low, around the 38.2% retrace of the overnight leg, with ranges compressing ahead of NFP.

The rebound from Thursday's post-ISM low at 0.6903 carried through Asia as US yields eased, and London printed a 0.6946 high. Since then, lower highs have pressed price back to the 0.6933 session low, which sits on the 38.2% fib of the Asian low-to-London high leg. That leaves a tight 0.6933–0.6946 range heading into NFP.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.6929 asian high and the 0.6933 ny high reopens the 50–61.8% zone of the NY selloff toward 0.6956 day high
  • Loss of 0.6913 asian low breaks the rising lows and exposes the 0.6903 ny low
  • US NFP at 12:30 UTC (~10h, f/c 90K) could materially shift this read; London open likely sets the pre-data range
