23:05 UTC
Recovery off the FOMC low, momentum flat · RSI 48 · price 0.71224
Higher lows since Wednesday, capped under 0.7136.
The week's dominant bar was the FOMC hike on Wednesday's NY session, which dumped the pair from 0.71384 to 0.70744 in two hours; since then price has ground back in a series of higher lows and is now sitting on the EMA(20) at ~0.71205 with RSI(14) back at mid-range. Friday's dip to 0.71034 was a retest of the reclaimed psych pivot at 0.7100 before hawkish Bullock/RBA commentary lifted the pair to a Friday high of 0.71358. Monday's Asia open gapped down to 0.71046 and that gap has already been filled, leaving the 0.7103–0.7136 range intact.
Support: 0.71205, 0.71034, 0.7100
Resistance: 0.71358, 0.71384, 0.7140
What it said to watch
Hourly closes back below 0.7100 psych pivot would invalidate the post-FOMC recovery structure
Acceptance above the 0.71358 friday high and the 0.71400 round number would break the range top
RBA Bullock speech Tue 03:10 GMT is the next scheduled AUD catalyst and could reset this range read
Loss of 0.71034 friday low breaks the higher-low sequence off the week low
Higher lows off the FOMC low, capped under the week high.
The dominant move of the week was the single-bar collapse from 0.7138 to 0.7089 on the hawkish Fed hike, with the week low printed at 0.70744 in the following hour; every session since has traded a higher low, through 0.71034 on Friday's London hours and 0.71046 at this week's Asia open. Friday's NY session closed at 0.71239 after hawkish Bullock rhetoric helped AUD reclaim the 0.7100 pivot, and the small weekend gap down has already been filled — price now sits back on EMA(20) around 0.7120 with EMA(50) beneath at ~0.7114. RSI(14) near 48 is mid-range, so the recovery has stalled rather than reversed, with the 0.71358 week high still untested since Thursday.
Support: 0.71034, 0.7100, 0.70744
Resistance: 0.71358, 0.7140
What it said to watch
RBA Governor Bullock speech Tue 03:10 GMT — the main near-term risk to this H1 structure
An hourly close back below 0.71034 (friday low) would break the sequence of higher lows
Sustained trade under the 0.7100 pivot invalidates the post-FOMC recovery read and re-exposes 0.70744
Acceptance above the 0.71358 week high puts the 0.7140 round number in play
21:06 UTC
Post-FOMC recovery stalling at the week open · RSI 39 · price 0.71088
Higher lows off 0.70744 capped by 0.7136; new week gapped open below Friday's close.
The dominant move of the window was the FOMC bar in Wednesday's NY session, which dropped AUDUSD from 0.7138 to 0.7089 and extended to a week low at 0.70744. From Thursday's Asia session the pair rebuilt a sequence of higher lows — 0.70744, 0.70825, then 0.71034 in Friday's London-NY transition — reclaiming 0.7100 and topping out at the 0.71358 week high, helped by hawkish RBA rhetoric. The new week has gapped open ~15 pips lower at 0.71088, placing price back beneath EMA(20) near 0.7120 with RSI(14) rolling down to the high-30s.
Support: 0.71034, 0.70885, 0.70744
Resistance: 0.7120, 0.71239, 0.71358
What it said to watch
An hourly close back below 0.71034 (friday low) confirms a lower low and brings the 0.70885 fomc low shelf back into view
Reclaiming 0.71239 (friday close) would repair the gap and restore the higher-low sequence toward the 0.71358 week high
Failure to close back above EMA(20) near 0.7120 keeps the recovery read on hold
RBA Governor Bullock speech Tue 03:10 GMT and US flash PMIs Wed 13:45 UTC are the events most likely to reshape this structure
