Downtrend, fresh breakdown · RSI 29 · price 0.70149

Range break to the downside.

AUDUSD broke down hard from the week's 0.7060–0.7088 range after the FOMC hawkish hold lifted the USD, dropping ~75 pips to test the 0.7000 psych level. Price now sits below both EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) oversold near 29 after the impulsive sell-off through the NY session. The broken 0.7065 floor now caps as resistance.

Support: 0.70058, 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70415, 0.7065, 0.70751

What it said to watch

  • Loss of 0.70000 psych and 0.69946 week low extends the breakdown
  • Recovery back above 0.70415 breakdown bar would negate the fresh leg lower
  • Reaction at the 0.7000 round number — area to watch for rejection or break

23:02 UTC

Downtrend, fresh leg lower · RSI 34 · price 0.70149

Range break below 0.7050, new lows.

AUDUSD broke the multi-day 0.7050 floor in the NY session as a hawkish FOMC hold and stronger US retail sales lifted the dollar, slicing to 0.6995 before stabilising. Price now consolidates near 0.7015, well below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) depressed in the low-30s. The 0.7050 prior support is the immediate cap, with 0.7000 acting as the magnet flagged into the decision.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7050

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold 0.7000 confirms continuation toward the 0.6995 swing low
  • Reclaim of 0.7050 prior support would neutralise the breakdown
  • AU S&P Global PMIs (Jun 22) the next domestic catalyst for this read

22:02 UTC

Downtrend, sharp breakdown · RSI 32 · price 0.70138

Broke below week's range, lower lows.

AUDUSD spent the week pinned in a 0.7040–0.7088 range before a hawkish FOMC dot-plot revision drove a sharp NY-session breakdown, slicing through 0.7050 support to print 0.6995. Price has since stabilised near 0.7013, holding just above the 0.7000 psych level, with RSI oversold after the impulsive drop. Both EMAs sit well overhead following the leg lower.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7035

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close below 0.7000 opens the deeper slide flagged toward 0.6890
  • Reclaim of 0.7050 prior support would negate the breakdown
  • Thu Jobless Claims / Philly Fed (12:30 UTC) is the next USD-side catalyst

22:01 UTC

Downtrend, sharp drop on FOMC · RSI 28 · price 0.70138

Break below week's range, fresh lower low.

AUDUSD broke hard out of a multi-day 0.7050-0.7088 range, dumping to 0.6995 after the hawkish FOMC dot-plot revision and hot US retail sales lifted the USD. Price is pinned below EMA(20) and EMA(50) with RSI(14) at oversold extremes, and the 0.7000 psych level has been pierced. The week's lower-highs structure is now confirmed by a decisive lower low.

Support: 0.6995, 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70415, 0.70821

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 0.70415 would negate the breakdown read

21:03 UTC

Downtrend, fresh impulsive break lower · RSI 31 · price 0.70127

Lower highs, breakdown below range floor.

AUDUSD broke down hard through the 0.7050 floor into the NY session as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot revision lit a broad USD bid, extending a second straight down day. Price spiked to 0.69946 before stabilising just above the 0.7000 psychological magnet, with RSI(14) now in oversold territory after the drop. The prior 0.7050–0.7070 range now caps as resistance.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7050, 0.70725

What it said to watch

  • Sustained acceptance below 0.7000 opens the deeper slide toward 0.6890
  • An H1 close back above 0.7050 negates the breakdown
  • US Jobless Claims & Philly Fed (Thu 12:30 UTC) could extend or fade the USD move

Range break to fresh weekly low.

AUDUSD broke hard out of its multi-day 0.7050-0.7088 range, sliding from 0.70725 to a 0.69946 low after the hawkish FOMC dot-plot revision and hot US retail sales lifted the dollar. Price closed at 0.70127, below both EMA(20) and EMA(50), with RSI(14) pressed into oversold near 30. The 0.7000 psych level is the immediate magnet flagged all week.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.70415, 0.70725, 0.70879

What it said to watch

Downtrend, sharp acceleration lower · RSI 27 · price 0.70107

Range break, fresh lower lows.

AUDUSD broke down through the 0.7050 floor that had capped the week's range as the Fed's hawkish hold and a strong US retail sales print drove the USD, producing a sharp two-bar slide into the 0.7000 magnet with a low of 0.69946. Price sits well below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI deeply oversold. The week's lower-highs structure capped repeatedly at 0.70725 before this drop.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7050, 0.70725

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 0.7050 would negate the range break

20:01 UTC

Downtrend, sharp impulsive leg lower · RSI 28 · price 0.70107

Range break to the downside, fresh lower low.

AUDUSD spent most of the week pinned in a 0.7060-0.7088 range before the FOMC hawkish hold and a blowout US Retail Sales print drove a sharp NY-session breakdown, dumping price from 0.7070 to a 0.69946 low. The move sliced clean through EMA20 and EMA50 and a fresh lower low is now in place with RSI(14) near oversold. Price is hovering just above the 0.7000 magnet flagged into the decision.

Support: 0.7000, 0.69946

Resistance: 0.7045, 0.70725, 0.70879

19:02 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs all week · RSI 40 · price 0.70438

Broke below week's range on FOMC.

AUDUSD has carved a steady sequence of lower highs since the gap-up to the 0.70879 week high, never reclaiming the 0.71 handle. The pair sliced through its multi-session range into the NY session as the hawkish Fed hold (3.75%, lifted dots) and a strong US retail sales beat drove a broad USD bid, dropping price to a 0.70316 session low and back below both EMAs. RSI(14) has rolled to the high-30s confirming the downside break.

Support: 0.70316, 0.70207, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.70725, 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back above 0.70725 prior high negates the week's lower-high sequence

Downtrend resuming, lower highs · RSI 38 · price 0.70438

Range broken to the downside post-FOMC.

AUDUSD spent most of the week pinned in a 0.7050–0.7088 band before a sharp downside break on the hawkish Fed hold and strong US retail sales, driving the pair to a session low of 0.70316 in one high-volume bar. Price now sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI back toward the mid-30s, confirming the lower-highs pattern that capped each rally near 0.7079–0.7088. The 0.7000 psych magnet flagged into FOMC is now the next reference below.

Support: 0.70316, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7070, 0.70878

What it said to watch

  • Warsh presser fallout could materially shift this read in the next bars

18:02 UTC

Range with lower highs, drifting lower · RSI 39 · price 0.70517

Consolidation under week's highs, pivot 0.7050 in play.

AUDUSD has carved lower highs since Wednesday's 0.70879 peak, with rallies into the 0.7079 area capped repeatedly through the week. Price has pinned around the 0.7050 pivot flagged in the macro read, and the latest bar sliced to 0.70464 before closing back at 0.70517 as the FOMC decision landed. RSI(14) sits near 39 and price trades below both H1 EMA(20) and EMA(50).

Support: 0.7050, 0.70207, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7079, 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 0.70790 swing high would negate the lower-highs structure

18:01 UTC

Drifting lower, lower highs · RSI 44 · price 0.70517

Lower highs since Friday, holding above 0.7050 pivot.

AUDUSD has been carving lower highs since Friday's gap to 0.7088, with price now trading under both EMA(20) and EMA(50) after the latest bar rejected sharply into the FOMC decision. The 0.7050 pivot is still holding, but the soft post-RBA tone has kept rallies capped below 0.7079. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, in line with the gentle drift lower.

Support: 0.70464, 0.7025, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7079, 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • Reclaim of 0.7079 would negate the lower-highs structure

17:02 UTC

Rangebound, drift lower faded · RSI 55 · price 0.70709

Range, contracting around 0.7050–0.7088 pivot.

AUDUSD gapped up to the 0.7088 week high at the Monday open then faded, settling into a range above the 0.7050 pivot for a second day after the hawkish-hold RBA failed to inspire. Two attempts at 0.7088 stalled to form a double top, and price now sits back above EMA20/EMA50 near 0.7071 with RSI mid-range — chop ahead of the FOMC decision. The 0.70454 swing low and the 0.7050 pivot mark the range base.

Support: 0.7050, 0.70454, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7079, 0.7088

What it said to watch

  • FOMC decision at 18:00 UTC plus Warsh presser will likely set the next H1 leg
  • H1 close below 0.7050 pivot opens the path toward the 0.7000 psych level
  • Reclaim and close above 0.7088 week high negates the double top read

17:02 UTC

Sideways, mild lower-highs into FOMC · RSI 56 · price 0.70709

Rangebound below week high, higher lows since Wed low.

AUDUSD has chopped within roughly 0.7042–0.7088 all week, fading the hawkish-RBA bounce into Tuesday's 0.70879 high and basing at the 0.70417 swing low Wednesday. Price has since ground out higher lows back above EMA20/EMA50 near 0.7071, with RSI cycling around the mid-50s — a soft USD on US-Iran optimism is offsetting the AUD's negative tilt. The 0.7050 pivot flagged in the macro read has held as the floor on every retest.

Support: 0.7050, 0.70417, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7079, 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • FOMC decision at 18:00 UTC (~1h) plus Warsh presser could materially shift this read
  • Hourly close below 0.7050 reopens the 0.7042 swing low and the 0.7000 psych level

Consolidation 0.7045-0.7088 since midweek.

AUDUSD has been pinned in a 0.7045-0.7088 band since midweek, fading the hawkish-RBA bounce as traders sit on hands into FOMC. Price hugs the EMA20/EMA50 cluster near 0.7065 with RSI(14) flat around 53, no clear momentum either way. The week high at 0.70879 has capped, while the 0.7045 floor has held repeated probes through the NY session.

Support: 0.70454, 0.70385

Resistance: 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • FOMC at 18:00 UTC (~2h) is the immediate driver and can break this range
  • H1 close below 0.7045 confirms a lower-low and opens 0.7000
  • Reclaim of 0.70879 week high negates the lower-highs structure

16:01 UTC

Sideways, lower highs since early-week peak · RSI 53 · price 0.70702

Range below 0.7088, holding above 0.7050.

AUDUSD gapped up at the week's open and ran to 0.7088, but has drifted on a series of lower highs since, sitting near 0.7070 hugging EMA(20). The hawkish-hold RBA failed to inspire and the pair is pinned above the 0.7050 pivot, with rejection capping each attempt back toward 0.7088. Price is coiling ahead of the FOMC decision with RSI(14) flat around the mid-50s.

Support: 0.7050, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7088, 0.7079

AUDUSD gapped up to a 0.70879 week high on Monday's open then bled lower through London and NY hours, printing a series of lower highs as the hawkish-RBA bounce faded. Price now coils around the EMA20 near 0.7066 with RSI cycling around the midline, holding above the 0.7050 pivot flagged in the macro read. Two-day negative drift remains intact below the 0.70790 lower-high cap.

Capped below 0.7088, holding 0.7050 pivot.

AUDUSD has chopped between 0.7045 and 0.7088 since the hawkish-RBA bounce faded, with each push higher into the NY session this week leaving a lower high. Price is pinned around the 0.7050 pivot flagged in the AUD read, hugging EMA(20) with RSI(14) idling near 50 as traders sit on hands into the FOMC. Strong US Retail Sales gave the dollar little lift, keeping the range intact.

Consolidation under week high, holding swing low.

AUDUSD ran to a week high of 0.70879 into the NY session before slipping into a string of lower highs, pressured by a soft post-RBA Aussie and a hot US retail sales print. Price is back hugging EMA(20) near 0.7068 with RSI(14) cycling mid-range, and demand stepped in twice around 0.70454 to hold the floor. FOMC today is the immediate driver into this consolidation.

Support: 0.7056, 0.70454, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7079, 0.70879

What it said to watch

  • FOMC decision today could materially shift this read

Consolidation under week high, capped attempts.

AUDUSD has chopped between 0.7045 and the 0.7088 week high since this week's gap-higher open, with each NY-session push leaving a lower high. Price sits back at the EMA(20) near 0.7066 with RSI(14) mid-range around 50, consolidating ahead of today's FOMC. The soft AUD tone after the RBA's hawkish-but-hollow hold keeps the 0.7045 floor in focus.

Rally faded, now ranging · RSI 47 · price 0.70646

Consolidation under week high after pullback.

An early-week rally peaked near the 0.70879 week high before fading through the NY sessions, with AUD holding above 0.7050 as the RBA's hawkish hold underwhelmed and soft China retail sales weighed. Price now chops between the 0.70537 swing low and the 0.70790 prior high, hovering on the EMA20 but sub-EMA50, RSI mid-40s. The descending lower-highs since Monday's peak cap the upside into the FOMC decision.

Price has spent the last day chopping around the EMA20 near 0.7064, sitting below the EMA50 with RSI(14) hovering near 50. The 0.7050 pivot and 0.7042 floor have so far held the downside.

Lower highs since Wednesday's peak, range floor holding.

AUDUSD has been grinding lower since Wednesday's 0.7088 week high, printing successive lower highs with the 0.7079 area now capping bounces and price trading under EMA20 near 0.7068. The Aussie continues to defend the 0.7050 pivot and 0.7054 swing low after soft China retail sales and an underwhelming RBA hold, with RSI(14) sub-50 reflecting the fade. Range remains intact between the 0.7042 floor and the week high.

Price is parked just above the 0.7050 pivot it has defended this week, with RSI(14) sub-50. The fade reflects soft China retail sales and a hawkish-hold RBA that underwhelmed, leaving direction tied to the Fed.

Range with lower highs into the floor.

AUDUSD has carved a range between the week high at 0.70879 and the 0.7050 psych pivot, with a sequence of lower highs since Wednesday's NY session as price slips under EMA20 and EMA50. The pullback follows the soft China retail sales print and an underwhelming RBA hawkish hold, leaving the Aussie capped below 0.7088. RSI(14) is mid-40s, reflecting the slow drift rather than impulsive selling, with the 0.7042 intraday floor still intact.

Price now drifts below EMA20 into the NY session, posting lower highs while the 0.7050 pivot holds and the 0.70537 swing low is being tested. RSI(14) sits in the low 40s, reflecting the gradual offer rather than capitulation.

AUD gapped up to 0.708 at Tuesday's open and held above 0.7050 after the RBA's hawkish hold, but the week high at 0.70879 capped two attempts and price has rolled into a series of lower highs. It now sits below EMA20 around 0.706 with RSI(14) under 50, drifting toward the 0.7045 swing low. Soft China retail sales and a discounted RBA bias have kept the upside limited ahead of the Fed.

Lower highs since week high, holding above 0.7050.

AUDUSD has drifted lower for a second day from the week high near 0.7088, capped below 0.7100 after the hawkish RBA hold and weak China data; price sits below EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) cycling in the low-40s. Lower highs have built since Monday's session while the 0.7050 pivot has so far been defended into NY hours. FOMC today is the swing factor for the read.

Range, drifting lower into FOMC · RSI 43 · price 0.70601

Rangebound, capped sub-0.7100.

AUDUSD has chopped in a 0.7042-0.7088 band since Monday's open, capped sub-0.7100 after the RBA's hawkish hold underwhelmed and soft China retail data weighed. Price slipped back under EMA(20) and EMA(50) into the European session with RSI(14) below 50, leaving the week high at 0.7088 unchallenged on the latest attempts. The drift lower keeps the 0.7042 week floor in focus ahead of the Fed.

Capped below 0.7100, drifting off this-week highs.

AUDUSD gapped higher into Monday's session and has been pinned ~0.7070 all week, with twin rejections at 0.7088 leaving a double top and the 0.7100 psych cap untested. Price has slipped back under EMA(20)/EMA(50) into the NY session with RSI(14) drifting toward the mid-40s, mirroring the digest read of an AUD capped below 0.7100 on China/growth concerns. The week's range remains intact between the 0.7088 highs and the 0.7042/0.7045 wk low.

Lower highs since Tuesday's peak, pinned mid-range.

AUD/USD has ground lower since Tuesday's 0.7088 peak, carving a sequence of lower highs and now pinned near 0.7063 below both EMA20 and EMA50. RSI(14) is sub-50, reflecting the soft drift as faded RBA hawkishness and China growth worries keep the Aussie capped under 0.7100. FOMC tonight is the dominant swing factor for the next sessions.

Downtrend, lower highs since week high · RSI 43 · price 0.70566

Descending lower highs, compressing near range low.

AUD/USD has carved a series of lower highs since the 0.7088 week high printed early week, drifting back under EMA20 and EMA50 through the NY-into-Asia sessions. The hawkish RBA hold and soft China retail sales (-0.6%) offered no lasting lift, and RSI sits in the mid-40s. Price is now compressing into a tight Asian range near 0.7056 ahead of the Fed.

Resistance: 0.7068, 0.7079, 0.7088

Stalled below week high, drifting toward swing low.

AUDUSD rallied off Monday's 0.6979 base toward the 0.70879 week high but has carved a sequence of lower highs since, now slipping back to 0.7057 below EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling in the low 40s. The RBA's hawkish hold went unrewarded and soft China retail sales weighed, leaving price drifting from the week high toward the 0.70454 swing low. Sessions have been quiet, with the bulk of the topside stall coming during the NY-Asia transition.

Drifting lower, capped below week high · RSI 43 · price 0.70569

Lower highs since midweek, ranging into Fed.

AUDUSD ran to a one-week high near 0.7088 early in the week on the US-Iran-driven USD unwind, but the hawkish RBA hold and soft China retail sales failed to extend the move — twin highs at 0.7088 mark a double top. Price has since faded under EMA20 with successive lower highs, sitting at 0.70569 and RSI(14) cycling in the low 40s. The 0.7045 swing low is the line holding the range floor.

Lower highs since mid-week peak, range-bound.

AUD pushed to a one-week high near 0.70879 early in the week before fading as the hawkish RBA hold failed to impress and weak China retail sales weighed on the proxy currency. Price has since carved lower highs and now sits below the H1 EMA20 (~0.70680) with RSI(14) slipping into the low 40s. The 0.70454 swing low is the immediate floor; 0.70790 has capped the latest bounce attempt.

AUDUSD has churned in a 0.7042-0.7090 range all week, with the hawkish RBA hold faded on soft China data and the early-week risk-on bounce capping near 0.7090. Price has slipped below EMA20 and EMA50 into the NY-to-Asia transition, setting lower highs at 0.7079 as it drifts toward the range floor. RSI(14) sits in the low 40s, reflecting the heavy tone without an extreme.

Range-bound below week high, lower-highs forming.

AUDUSD gapped up early in the week and has churned in a 0.7045-0.7088 range since, with a hawkish RBA hold and the weak China retail print failing to push it higher. Price has slipped back below EMA20/EMA50 as lower-highs build off 0.7088 then 0.7079, with RSI(14) easing into the low 40s. The pair now sits mid-range and is drifting toward the 0.7045 floor ahead of the Fed.

Lower highs below week high, holding mid-range.

AUDUSD gapped higher into Monday's open near 0.7082 and tagged the 0.70880 week high, but has rolled over since, posting lower highs and slipping below EMA20 with RSI in the mid-40s. The hawkish RBA hold failed to hold the bid as soft China data weighed; the recent high at 0.70790 capped the latest bounce and price now churns in the 0.7060s. Demand around the 0.70450 swing low has held the downside so far this week.

AUDUSD gapped up to 0.70879 at the week's reopen but has bled lower since, printing lower highs into 0.70792 and now trading back below EMA20 near 0.70614. The pair is churning the 0.7042-0.7088 band as the hawkish RBA hold and soft China data offset early-week USD softness. RSI(14) sits in the low-40s, reflecting the loss of upside momentum.

Price now sits below EMA20 around 0.7063, churning in the 0.7045-0.7090 range with RSI(14) mid-40s. Buyers have defended the 0.7042-0.7045 zone all week, while supply caps each push toward 0.7088.

AUDUSD has churned in a 0.7045-0.7090 band since the weekend gap higher, with the week high at 0.70879 capping the move after early-week strength on the US-Iran risk-on bid. Price has slid back below the H1 EMA20 into the NY-Asia transition, printing lower highs off 0.70879 as soft China data kept the pair heavy. RSI(14) sits mid-40s, reflecting the listless drift rather than directional momentum.

AUDUSD gapped higher into this week's open and tagged a week high at 0.70880 before sellers capped it, leaving a string of lower highs and a slow drift back toward 0.7067. Price has chopped sideways since, pinned between the 0.70790 supply shelf and the 0.70450 week low, with RSI(14) hovering near 50 and EMA20/EMA50 flat. The post-RBA softness and weak China data noted in the macro digest fit the lack of upside follow-through.

AUDUSD rallied to 0.7088 early in the week on the US-Iran risk bid before sellers returned, leaving a sequence of lower highs as soft China data and the faded RBA hold weighed. Price has since coiled between 0.7045 and 0.7079, sitting just under EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) hovering near 46. The 0.7088 area capped the only fresh attempt this week and remains the line in the sand.

AUDUSD gapped higher into Monday's open and spiked to a week high near 0.7088 before settling into a tight range, with lower highs building since the peak as the RBA hold and soft China data reasserted the cap. Price is hugging EMA(20) around 0.7069 with RSI(14) flat near 50, and the 0.7045 swing low has held the base of the range. The 0.7088–0.7079 zone has rejected each push higher this week.

AUDUSD gapped up at the weekly open and pushed to 0.7088 in Tuesday's session, but has since faded in a series of lower highs and now sits back below EMA20 near 0.7064.

AUDUSD gapped higher into the weekly open and tagged the week high at 0.7088, but successive attempts have made lower highs and price has rolled back into the mid-0.706s, slipping below EMA20. The early-week relief came as a softer USD lifted risk; the RBA hold and weak China data have since reasserted the heavier tone, leaving the pair coiled between the 0.7079 lower high and 0.7050 demand. Price is hovering on the 50% retrace of the weekly impulse near 0.7063.
