Higher-low chain since 0.6950, pressing 50% fib.

Hot US CPI broke AUD from the 0.7013 day high to the 0.6950 cpi low. Early Asia has extended a higher-low recovery into the 50% fib of that drop at 0.6981, which lines up with Wednesday's Asian low. RSI(14) near 70 and ATR about 2.6 pips into the Aussie labour report.

Higher-low chain off the 0.6950 NY low, now at the 38.2% retrace of the CPI drop.

Hot US CPI knocked AUDUSD about 60 pips off 0.7012 at 12:30 UTC, bottoming at the 0.6950 NY low. Since then it has printed a steady higher-low trendline into early Asia, with the 0.6971 swing low as the latest pivot. Price is pressing the 38.2% retrace near 0.6974, with the 50% fib at 0.6981 and the 0.6984 CPI bounce high just above.

Post-CPI selloff, recovering on higher lows · RSI 57 · price 0.69732

Higher-low chain off the 0.6950 cpi low, capped near the 38.2% fib.

Hot US CPI at 12:30 UTC took AUDUSD from 0.7012 to the 0.6950 cpi low. The NY afternoon and early Asia session have since printed higher lows along the higher lows trendline, and price is now pressing the 38.2% fib of the CPI drop near 0.6975 alongside EMA50. ATR(14) has compressed to about 3 pips in thin trade.

Support: 0.69689, 0.69634, 0.69503

Resistance: 0.69747, 0.69815, 0.7000

Higher lows off 0.6950, capped at 0.6974.

Hot US CPI at 12:30 UTC broke the 0.7000 round number and drove a 62-pip slide from the 0.7013 London high to the 0.6950 cpi low. Since then a higher-low recovery line has stalled at 0.6974, where the fib 38.2 meets EMA50. The early Asia session is holding a tight 0.6969–0.6975 band above the rollover low.

Resistance: 0.69741, 0.69815, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Aus jobs at 00:30 GMT (~90 min) could materially shift this read. A ~3-pip ATR understates the likely release range.
  • M15 close above 0.6974 fib 38.2 and EMA50 opens 0.6982 fib 50, then the 0.7000 round number.

  • Rejection at the 38.2% fib, followed by a loss of the 0.6969 rollover low, breaks the higher-low chain and exposes the 0.6963 swing low
  • Australia September jobs at 00:30 GMT: a miss or unemployment ≥4.7% could reopen the 0.6950 cpi low

22:17 UTC

Post-CPI selloff, corrective grind higher · RSI 64 · price 0.69718

Higher-low chain off 0.6950 low, compressing below 0.6975.

The hot US CPI print knocked AUDUSD from 0.7012 to the 0.6950 post-CPI low during NY. Price has since retraced about a third in a higher-low chain and is now pinned under the 0.6972 late NY high in thin early-Asia trade.

CPI flush from 0.7012, double bottom 0.6950, rebound capped below 0.6975 lower high.

The hot US CPI print at 12:30 GMT broke AUDUSD from the 0.7012 London high through the 0.7000 psych and the Asian range low (0.6981) to a double bot at 0.6950 during NY hours. The late-NY rebound is stalling at the ema20 and the 23.6% fib near 0.6966. RSI(14) is neutral at 42.

Lower highs since CPI; equal lows forming at 0.6950.

Hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT broke the 0.6981–0.7013 Asia-London range and dropped AUD/USD about 60 pips to a 0.6950 session low. Late in the NY session, after London close, price is basing in a tentative double bottom and pressing the 0.6967 lower high, where ema20 sits, with RSI(14) at 42. The 38.2% retrace of the CPI drop at 0.6974 sits just under the 0.6975 post-CPI high.

The hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 60 pips off the 0.7012 London high, through the Asian range and below 0.7000 psych. Late in the NY session, after London close, the session low at 0.6950 has held three times. Price is drifting up toward the ema20 near 0.6966, with RSI(14) at 38 and ATR near 6 pips.

Hot US CPI (3.7% vs 3.6%) at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 60 pips off the 0.7012 London high and below the Asian range low near 0.6981. Since London close, price has compressed between the 0.6950 session low, tested repeatedly, and a lower high at 0.6962, while RSI(14) recovers to 34 from sub-30.

Lower-high chain below Asian range low, grinding at session low.

Hot US CPI (3.7% vs 3.6%) at 12:30 GMT knocked AUD/USD off the 0.7012 London high and through the asian low at 0.6976. NY has since printed a lower-high chain under a falling trendline into a 0.6950 session low, with RSI(14) near 30 and ranges compressing after London close. The 38.2% retrace of the CPI drop sits near 0.6974, close to the asian low.

Lower-high chain under descending trendline, compressing above session low.

Hot US CPI (3.7% vs 3.6%) at 12:30 GMT reversed the London push to the 0.7013 session high. The CPI selloff broke the Asian range and yesterday's 0.6976 low, and NY has since printed a lower-high chain capped by a descending trendline. After London close, price is compressing just above the 0.6951 session low, with RSI(14) near 30 and ATR(14) around 7 pips.

Post-CPI lower highs and lower lows; tight 0.6951–0.6962 base late in NY.

The hot US CPI print at 12:30 UTC reversed the London advance from the 0.7013 session high. A 37-pip bar broke the Asian range low near 0.6982 and yesterday's 0.6976 prior low. NY extended to a 0.6951 session low under a falling lower-highs trendline (0.6975, 0.6968, 0.6962), with RSI(14) near 30 but not washed out.

The hot US CPI beat at 12:30 UTC broke the London advance. AUDUSD fell from 0.7012 through the 0.7000 round number, and NY hours have since printed a lower-high sequence (0.6984, 0.6975 at the fib 38.2, then 0.6968) along with lower lows to the 0.6951 session low. RSI(14) near 33 is soft but not oversold; ATR has expanded to roughly 7 pips.

The hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 39 pips off the 0.7012 London high in a single bar and broke the day's 0.6997–0.7013 range. Since then, NY has printed lower highs at the 0.6984 post-CPI top, 0.6975 and the 0.6968 lower high, and set a fresh session low at 0.6951. RSI(14) is near 30, not yet extreme, with the 0.6935 major support about 16 pips below.

The 12:30 GMT US CPI beat reversed AUD from 0.7012 and broke it 58 pips lower, through the Asian range low near 0.6981 and the prior low at 0.6976, with NY hours printing lower highs at 0.6984, 0.6975 and 0.6968. The bounce off the 0.6954 cpi low stalled at the 23.6% fib, and the 14:45 GMT dip held just above it. RSI(14) is near 28.

Support: 0.69538, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.69676, 0.69762, 0.7000

Downtrend after CPI flush, bounce stalling · RSI 33 · price 0.69659

Lower highs below broken Asian range.

The hot US CPI beat at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 40 pips off its 0.7012 London-session high in a single bar, losing the 0.7000 figure and the whole Asian range down to the 0.69818 asian low. The drop bottomed at the 0.69538 cpi low. The NY session bounce has printed lower highs at 0.69754 (the 38.2% retrace) and the 0.69676 bounce high, with RSI(14) near 33 and price under both EMAs.

Sharp post-CPI downturn, bounce stalling · RSI 33 · price 0.69643

Lower high 0.6975 below prior low, post-cpi low 0.6954.

The hot US CPI beat at 12:30 GMT reversed the Asia-London climb at the 0.7013 session high. Price flushed through the Asian range and the prior low at 0.6976 to a post-cpi low of 0.6954. The first-hour-of-NY bounce is capping below the prior low, which lines up with the 38.2% retracement, while the 50% fib sits at 0.6983. RSI(14) is near 33 and ATR is around 12 pips after the event spike.

Support: 0.69538, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.6976, 0.6983, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back above the prior low at 0.6976 would neutralise the lower-high sequence and expose the 50% fib at 0.6983.
  • Failure to hold the post-cpi low at 0.6954 extends the lower-low chain toward the 0.6935 range floor.
  • The 0.7000 psych figure is the line that would mark a full CPI unwind.
  • Fed's Bowman at 14:55 GMT and the Beige Book at 18:00 GMT could extend or fade the USD bid.

Lower highs and lower lows below the broken Asian range.

The hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT took AUDUSD 59 pips off the 0.7013 London session high and erased the Asian and London gains, breaking below yesterday's 0.6976 NY lows. NY hours show lower highs at 0.6984 and 0.6975 into a 0.6954 session low. RSI(14) near 28 is approaching oversold, and the current bar is a small bounce.

Support: 0.69538, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.69754, 0.69836, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Close back above the 0.6975 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the lower-high chain
  • Rejection near the 50% fib at 0.6984 keeps the post-CPI downtrend intact
  • Failure to hold the 0.6954 session low exposes the 0.6935 band low
  • A return above 0.7000 psych would negate the CPI move

London double top at 0.7012, then CPI range break below the Asian low; lower highs since.

Hot US core CPI at 12:30 GMT broke AUDUSD out of the London range below the 0.7012 session high double top. It dropped about 54 pips to a 0.6958 CPI low, through the 24h and Asian lows. The 13:30 bounce stalled just under the broken Asian low at 0.6976 and is near the 23.6% retracement of the CPI drop, with RSI(14) near 29.

Support: 0.6958, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.6976, 0.7000, 0.7012

  • Break of the 0.6958 CPI low exposes the 0.6935 range low
  • Reclaim of the 0.7000 round number would unwind most of the CPI move

Sharp post-CPI downtrend, stretched · RSI 19 · price 0.69675

London range broken lower on CPI; lower high 0.6984, base forming near 0.6958.

The hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 54 pips off the 0.7012 London high. Price sliced through the Asian range and Tuesday's 0.6975 prior low to a 0.6958 CPI low. The first hour of NY is stabilising off that low, with RSI(14) near 19 and ATR expanded to ~6 pips.

Support: 0.69579, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.69751, 0.69836, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • Holding below the 0.6975 prior low keeps the CPI leg intact; a reclaim brings the 38.2% fib and the 0.6984 bounce high into play
  • A break of the 0.6958 CPI low exposes the 0.6935 range floor
  • Only a recovery through the 0.7000 round number would neutralise the CPI break

Sharp downturn after CPI, stalling near lows · RSI 24 · price 0.6969

Asian range and prior-day low broken lower; post-CPI low 0.6960 in place.

The hot US CPI print (core 0.3% m/m vs 0.2%) drove AUDUSD down roughly 50 pips from the London high at 0.7013 in three bars. Price broke the asian low at 0.6976 and printed a cpi low at 0.6960. It is now stalling just above that low with RSI(14) at 24, while the cpi bounce high at 0.6984 sits near the 38.2% level of the cpi drop fib.

Support: 0.6960, 0.6935

Resistance: 0.6976, 0.6984, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back above the asian low at 0.6976 would turn the break into a false break
  • The cpi bounce high at 0.6984, the 38.2% level of the cpi drop fib, caps any recovery attempt
  • A failure to hold the cpi low at 0.6960 exposes the 0.6935 range floor
  • Fed's Bowman at 14:55 GMT and the Beige Book at 18:00 GMT could extend or fade the CPI move; the 0.7000 round number marks the pre-CPI pivot

13:04 UTC

Sharp post-CPI selloff, oversold · RSI 20 · price 0.69719

Asia-London uptrend broken; new 24h low below Asian range.

The hot US CPI at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 40 pips off 0.7012 in a single bar. The CPI drop broke the Asia-London uptrend, the asian low at 0.6982 and the prior low near 0.6975. The follow-up bounce met rejection at 0.6984, under the old Asian low, and price is printing a fresh cpi low near 0.6971 with RSI(14) around 20.

Support: 0.69708, 0.6960

Resistance: 0.69751, 0.69818, 0.7000

  • Failure to hold the cpi low at 0.6971 exposes next support at 0.6960
  • Recovery above the prior low at 0.6975 and the asian low at 0.6982 would show the CPI drop being retraced
  • A reclaim of 0.7000 psych would negate the breakdown read

12:47 UTC

Sharp reversal lower, oversold · RSI 22 · price 0.69759

Double top at 0.7012, neckline broken on CPI bar.

The US CPI release at 12:30 GMT knocked AUDUSD about 37 pips off the 0.7012 double top in one bar. That erased the Asian and London advance and printed a CPI low at 0.6973, under yesterday's NY lows. Early NY trade is holding below the 0.6982 Asian low, with RSI(14) near 22.

Support: 0.6973, 0.6960

Resistance: 0.6982, 0.7000, 0.7012

What it said to watch

  • Recovery above the 0.6982 Asian low and the 0.7000 round number would mark the CPI drop as a spike; the 50–61.8% cpi drop fib sits at 0.6993–0.6998
  • An M15 close below the 0.6973 CPI low exposes next support at 0.6960
  • A move back above the 0.7012 double top would invalidate the reversal read

12:31 UTC

Uptrend broken, sharp reversal on CPI · RSI 29 · price 0.69922

Double top at session high, London range broken lower.

The US CPI release bar knocked AUDUSD about 19 pips, from 0.7012 to the 0.6991 cpi low. That bar followed a double top at the 0.7013 session high and cut through both the 0.7003 london low and the 0.7000 round number. RSI(14) dropped to ~28, and price sits between the 50% and 61.8% retrace of the Asia-London rally, just above the 0.6986 prior high from yesterday's session.

Support: 0.69911, 0.69863, 0.69762

Resistance: 0.7000, 0.70031, 0.70126

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 0.7000 round number and the 0.7003 london low would negate the double-top break
  • Failure to hold the 0.6991 cpi low (61.8% retrace) exposes the 0.6986 prior high, then the 0.6976 asian low
  • Any retest of the 0.7013 session high would put the double-top read in question
  • Bowman at 14:55 GMT and AU jobs at 00:30 GMT could materially shift this read

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 55 · price 0.70095

Higher highs and higher lows; Asian high broken in London and retested.

The Asia-led push through 0.7000 extended in London to a 0.70126 session high, helped by softer UST yields and hawkish RBA minutes. The late-London pullback held 0.7003, the asian high, at the 61.8% retrace of the London leg, leaving a higher low. Price is back near 0.7010 into the NY open with ATR(14) at only about 2.6 pips.

Support: 0.7003, 0.7000, 0.69968

Resistance: 0.70126, 0.7020

What it said to watch

  • US CPI at 12:30 GMT, about 15 minutes out, will likely dwarf the 2.6-pip ATR. A print above 3.6% y/y puts the asian high retest at 0.7003 at risk.
  • An M15 close above the 0.70126 session high opens the path to the 0.7020 range top.
  • Failure to hold the 0.7000 round number and the 0.69968 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence.
  • AU employment data at 00:30 GMT is the next scheduled driver after the CPI reaction.

HH/HL chain since Asia; London pullback held the Asian high.

London extended the Asian breakout through 0.7000 psych to a session high at 0.70126. The pullback then held the Asian high at 0.7003 and the rising support from the 0.6993 Asia pivot. The move tracks hawkish RBA minutes and softer UST yields; price is back on EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral into US CPI.

HH/HL chain since Asia; London high 0.7013, retest of 0.7003.

The Asia-session advance from 0.6982 cleared the 0.7000 psych level, and London extended it to a 0.7013 session high on softer UST yields and hawkish RBA minutes. Price has since slipped below EMA20 and retested the Asian high near 0.7003, which held along rising support between the 23.6% and 38.2% fib. RSI(14) is neutral at 46 and ATR is tight at about 2.7 pips ahead of US CPI.

Asia rallied from 0.6981 through the 0.7000 psych level. London extended that to a 0.70126 session high on hawkish RBA minutes and a softer USD. A four-bar pullback has since broken the 0.7007 higher low (broken hl) and is testing the 0.7004 london low, with RSI(14) near 40 and price back under EMA20.

London broke Asian high, now retracing toward it.

AUD extended the Asia-session rally on hawkish RBA minutes and a softer USD, and London broke the Asian high at 0.7003 to print a London high at 0.70126 before slipping back to the 38.2% fib near 0.7006.

London open broke the Asian high at 0.7003 and extended to a 0.7011 session high, extending the Asia-session leg built on a softer USD after Williams and hawkish RBA minutes. The session high has capped four tests while lows step higher along the rising trendline. RSI(14) sits near 69 and ATR(14) is about 3 pips, so ranges are compressing ahead of US CPI.

A steady Asia-session grind from 0.6981 cleared the 0.7003 asian high at London open, helped by softer US yields and the hawkish RBA minutes. Mid-London, price is pressing the 0.7011 session high for a second time with RSI(14) near 70 and ATR around 3 pips, holding above rising support into US CPI.

HH/HL chain since 04:00 UTC; London broke above the Asian range high.

London open broke the Asian range (0.6981–0.7003) and extended to a 0.70114 session high. That high has been tested twice and has capped price so far, while the 09:00 UTC swing low at 0.70067 holds the higher-low sequence. The move fits the digest's account of a softer USD and hawkish RBA minutes, with price now pressing toward the 0.7020 range top ahead of US CPI.

HH/HL chain since Asia; London broke Asian range high, now tight consolidation above it.

London broke above the Asian high at 0.7003 and printed a session high at 0.7011. Price has since compressed between the 0.7007 pullback low and that high ahead of US CPI, after a two-day recovery on softer US yields and hawkish RBA minutes. RSI(14) is near 68 and ATR is about 3 pips, so the pause is quiet rather than stretched.

  • A close back below the 0.7003 Asian high puts price back inside the Asian range and weakens the breakout read
  • Loss of the Asia rising trendline and the 0.6997 swing low would mark the first lower-low since the Asian session
  • A 38.2% fib retracement at 0.6998 marks the first deeper pullback zone if the breakout fails

  • Failure to hold the 0.6997 higher low, near the 38.2% of the Asia-London leg, breaks the HL chain and the rising trendline
  • 0.7020 range top: area to watch for rejection or break; a sustained close above extends the session-high run
  • US Sep CPI at 12:30 GMT (~3h) could materially shift this read; a hot print above 3.6% y/y puts 0.7000 at risk

Asia built a higher-low chain off the 0.6982 open low along a rising Asia trendline, then stalled at the 0.7003 Asian high. London cleared that high and the 0.7000 psych cap and printed a 0.7011 session high, with the USD still soft after Williams' dovish lean.

The Asia session cleared Tuesday's high at 0.6986, helped by the China PPI beat and a softer USD. The Asia leg off the 0.6981 low topped at the 0.7003 Asia high. Late-Asia rejection under the 0.7000 psych level has pulled price back to 0.6997, with the higher-low chain still intact above the 0.6993 swing low and RSI(14) neutral near 54.

Asia breakout above prior high; higher-low chain holding just above 0.7000.

The Asia session broke Tuesday's 0.6986 prior high after the hot China PPI print and carried the pair through 0.7000. A higher low at the 0.6993 swing low, along the Asia trendline, fed a 0.7003 session high. The pair is holding just above the round number late in Asia, about 90 minutes before London open, with RSI(14) near 73 and ATR(14) at only ~2.5 pips.

  • A deeper pullback into the 38.2–61.8% retracement of the Asia leg (0.6995–0.6990) would put the 0.6986 prior high up for a retest
  • Bowman at 09:40 GMT and US CPI at 12:30 GMT could materially shift this read; 0.7000 has rejected the pair repeatedly

Asia session built a clean higher-low chain off the 0.6976 rollover low, helped by the China PPI beat and a softer USD.

Early Asia is now testing the range top for a third time off a 0.6982 asia shelf, with RSI(14) at 67 and ATR near 2 pips.

Support: 0.6982, 0.6976

Resistance: 0.69864, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.6986 range top opens the path to 0.7000 psych
  • Loss of the 0.6982 asia shelf puts the 0.6976 range floor back in play; a break there ends the higher-low sequence
  • US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC (core f/c 0.2% MoM) could materially shift this read

Uptrend, stalled into a range · RSI 60 · price 0.69853

0.6976–0.6986 range since NY open, early Asia retesting the top.

London broke the prior Asian range high and lifted AUD/USD from 0.6950 to 0.6986, helped by softer Treasury yields after the hawkish RBA minutes. Since the NY open price has held a 0.6976–0.6986 range, and the rollover dip to the range floor was bought back. Early Asia is pressing the range top from the 0.6982 asia base, with ATR near 2.3 pips and RSI(14) mid-range at 60.

Support: 0.6982, 0.69762

Resistance: 0.69863, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.6986 range top breaks the range and opens the 0.7000 psych cap
  • Loss of the 0.6982 asia base returns price to the middle of the range
  • Break below 0.6976 range floor turns the range into a lower-low
  • US CPI at 12:30 UTC (core f/c 0.2% MoM) could materially shift this read

Intraday uptrend, stalled below day high · RSI 50 · price 0.69821

Post-breakout consolidation 0.6976–0.6986 after Asian range break.

London broke Tuesday's Asian range (0.6950–0.6967) and NY extended the leg to a 0.6986 day high as USD eased on lower yields, still capped below 0.7000 psych. Since then price has compressed between 0.6976 and 0.6986, with the thin rollover low at 0.6976 recovered. Early Asia is sitting flat on EMA20, RSI(14) at 50 and ATR near 2 pips.

Support: 0.69762, 0.69746

Resistance: 0.69863, 0.7000

What it said to watch

  • US CPI at 12:30 UTC today is likely to decide the break of the 0.6976–0.6986 box
  • M15 close above 0.6986 day high opens a test of 0.7000 psych
  • Failure to hold the 0.6976 rollover low exposes the 0.6975 london high and the 23.6% fib of the rally
  • Sustained trade below the 38.2% fib near 0.6972 would undo most of the London breakout
