Sideways after rebound from London low · RSI 49 · price 0.70171

Compressing 0.7015–0.7019 inside a 0.7007–0.7024 range, early Asia.

London briefly lost 0.7000 to a 0.6994 low before NY recovered to a 0.7024 high. The thin rollover dip to 0.7007 around the AUD flash services PMI slump (47.8) was bought back above the 0.7013 swing low. Early Asia is compressing at 0.7016–0.7017, right on the 23.6% fib of the London–NY leg, with RSI flat near 49 and ATR only ~3 pips.

Support: 0.70131, 0.70073, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.7013 swing low exposes the rollover low at 0.7007, near the 50–61.8% fib zone
  • Close above the 0.7024 ny high opens the 0.7036 asia high
  • Loss of 0.7000 psych and the 0.6994 london low would turn the rebound into a lower-low sequence
  • Bullock speaks Fri 10:00 UTC, first RBA reaction to the PMI slump; could materially shift this read

23:31 UTC

Intraday range, momentum neutral · RSI 50 · price 0.70166

Higher low off 0.6994 day low; tight early-Asia range under 0.7019.

London's break below 0.7000 to the 0.6994 day low failed and was reclaimed, with NY lifting price to a 0.7024 NY high before fading to the 0.7013 NY low. Early Asia is absorbing the flash services PMI slump (47.8). The thin-liquidity rollover low at 0.7007 held near the 50–61.8% fib, and price is now pinned in a 4-pip band under the 0.7019 range top with RSI flat at 50.

Support: 0.70131, 0.70073, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.70191, 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.7013 ny low and the 0.7007 rollover low exposes 0.7000 and the 0.6994 day low
  • Close above the 0.7019 range top reopens the 0.7024 ny high, with the 0.7036 asia high (monthly high) beyond
  • Bullock speaks Fri 10:00 UTC, the first RBA reaction to the PMI slump, and could reset the 0.7000 read
  • Hold of the 50–61.8% fib zone keeps the higher-low read off the London low intact

23:17 UTC

Range, recovering from London dip · RSI 46 · price 0.7016

Higher low at 0.7002, capped at 0.7024; tight early-Asia range.

London's false break below 0.7000 bottomed at 0.6994 (london low). NY then built a higher low at 0.7002 and stalled at the 0.7024 ny high, and the rollover low at 0.7007 held between the 50% and 61.8% levels of the london low–ny high fib. Early Asia is ranging 0.7007–0.7019 below the asia high with RSI(14) near 46, and the flash services PMI slump to 47.8 has drawn little follow-through so far.

Support: 0.7007, 0.7002, 0.6994

Resistance: 0.7019, 0.7024, 0.7036

What it said to watch

  • Break of the 0.7007 rollover low exposes the 0.7002 higher low and the 0.7000 handle
  • M15 close above the 0.7019 asia high and 0.7024 ny high reopens the 0.7036 monthly high
  • Bullock speaks Fri 10:00 UTC, the first RBA read on the PMI slump, and could reset the range
  • US flash PMIs at 13:45 UTC Fri (Services f/c 57.9) are a second range-break risk

23:02 UTC

Sideways after recovery from sub-0.7000 dip · RSI 50 · price 0.70173

Range 0.7007–0.7024 since NY, mid-range in early Asia.

Early Asia: the post-rollover dip on the weak AUD flash PMIs (composite 47.7) held the 0.7007 range low, and price recovered to 0.7017 above the 0.7013 swing low. Price is mid-range below the 0.7024 NY high after yesterday's false break under 0.7000 to the 0.6994 day low. The PMI dip stalled between the 50% and 61.8% retracements of the day low–NY high rally. RSI(14) is flat at 50.

Support: 0.7013, 0.7007, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7024 NY high breaks the range and opens the 0.7036 monthly high
  • Failure to hold the 0.7007 range low (61.8% fib zone) reopens 0.7000 and the 0.6994 day low
  • Bullock speaks Oct 23 10:00 UTC; a dovish read on the PMI slump could materially shift this read

22:47 UTC

Sideways, higher lows intact · RSI 47 · price 0.70166

Tight early-Asia range 0.7013–0.7020 above a rising higher-low chain.

Early Asia: the pre-PMI low at 0.7007 was absorbed and price snapped back to 0.7018 despite the weak AUD flash PMIs, but the 0.7020 range top rejected again. Higher lows from the 0.6994 London low along the rising trendline remain intact, with the 0.7007 dip holding the 50–61.8% zone of the rally fib. RSI(14) is 47 and price is pinned to a flat EMA20.

Support: 0.7013, 0.70073, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7020, 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7020 range top exposes the 0.7024 ny high, then the 0.7036 monthly high
  • Loss of the 0.7013 ny low and the 0.7007 pre-pmi low breaks the rising trendline and opens 0.7000 psych and the 0.6994 london low
  • RBA's Bullock at 10:00 UTC could materially shift this read; a dovish read-through from the PMI slump is the main risk to 0.7000
  • US flash PMIs at 13:45 UTC and UoM at 14:00 UTC are the next USD-side catalyst

22:31 UTC

Sideways after a failed downside break · RSI 51 · price 0.70174

Range 0.7013–0.7024 above a 0.6994 day low.

Asian rejection at the 0.7036 monthly high led to a London false break below 0.7000 to a 0.6994 day low. NY rebuilt to a 0.7024 high, faded to a 0.7013 swing low, and the thin rollover low at 0.7007 was fully recovered around the weak AUD flash PMIs. RSI(14) is neutral near 51 and ATR is under 4 pips early in the Asia session.

Support: 0.70131, 0.70073, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7024 NY high reopens the 0.7036 monthly high
  • Failure to hold the 0.7007 rollover low exposes 0.7000 and the 0.6994 day low
  • Loss of the 0.7013 swing low turns the range into a lower-high sequence below 0.7024
  • Bullock speaks 10:00 UTC; a dovish read on the PMI slump could materially shift this read

22:16 UTC

Range-bound, higher lows since London low · RSI 55 · price 0.70186

Higher lows off 0.6994, capped below 0.7024 NY high.

The London break through 0.7000 to the 0.6994 London low reversed. NY then rallied to 0.7024, where supply capped it below the Asia high at 0.7036 as Middle East and oil risk weighed. Thin rollover trade printed a 0.7007 rollover low between the 50% and 61.8% fib retrace, and the 22:00 UTC bar, timed with the AU flash PMIs, lifted price back to 0.7019 on the rising support line; RSI(14) is neutral near 55.

Support: 0.70073, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7024 NY high reopens the 0.7036 Asia high
  • Loss of the 0.7007 rollover low breaks the rising support line and exposes the 0.6994 London low
  • RBA Gov. Bullock speech Fri 10:00 UTC could materially shift this read

Sideways, range after NY rebound · RSI 51 · price 0.70165

Rollover higher low at 0.7008 above the 0.7002 NY low; capped below the 0.7024 NY high.

Middle East risk-off pulled AUD back from the 0.7036 Asia high. London's push through the 0.7000 handle to the 0.6994 day low was a false break, and the NY session rebounded to the 0.7024 NY high before settling into a 0.7015–0.7020 range. The post-rollover dip to the 0.7008 rollover low held above the 0.7002 NY low, about 75% back into the NY leg. Price is back near 0.7016 with RSI(14) neutral at 51 as AU flash PMIs land.

Support: 0.70077, 0.70021, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • AU flash PMIs (22:00 UTC, no forecast) are landing in the current bar and could set the early Asia session direction
  • A close above the 0.7024 NY high reopens the 0.7036 Asia high
  • Failure to hold the 0.7002 NY low exposes the 0.6994 day low below the 0.7000 handle
  • Middle East and oil headlines remain the main risk-off override to this read

21:46 UTC

Intraday pullback inside a 0.6994–0.7036 day range · RSI 33 · price 0.70075

London false break below 0.7000 reversed; NY rebound capped at 0.7024 and now retracing.

Asia tagged the 0.7036 monthly high before fading on Middle East and oil risk-off. London swept through 0.7000 to a 0.6994 london low and snapped back, and NY then stalled at the 0.7024 ny high. The thin post-NY slide has given back half of that rebound: price sits at 0.7008 between the 50% and 61.8% fib, below the ema20, with RSI(14) near 33.

Support: 0.70052, 0.70021, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7016, 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • AU flash PMIs at 22:00 UTC, minutes away, could jolt this thin rollover tape
  • Hold of the 61.8% fib and the 0.7002 ny low keeps the London false-break structure intact
  • M15 close below the 0.6994 london low negates the false break and exposes 0.6985
  • Reclaim of the ema20 and a close above the 0.7024 ny high reopens the monthly high at 0.7036

21:31 UTC

Choppy, drifting lower beneath lower highs · RSI 39 · price 0.70128

Recovery from London sweep below 0.7000 capped at a lower high (0.7024); early Asia gapped back to the late-NY low.

Early Asia opened with a rollover gap down from 0.7019, putting price back on the 0.7013 late-NY low. Earlier, London swept below 0.7000 to the 0.6994 day low. NY's recovery stalled at the 0.7024 NY high, a lower high under the 0.7036 monthly high, and price has given back ~38% of that leg on the NY recovery fib, with RSI(14) near 39 and price below both EMAs.

Support: 0.7013, 0.7002, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.70187, 0.7024, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • AU flash PMIs at 22:00 UTC, about 30 minutes out with no forecast, could materially shift this read.
  • Failure to hold the 0.7013 late-NY low exposes the 0.7002 NY low and the 0.7000 handle; a break of the 0.6994 day low would unwind the sweep-and-recovery structure.
  • An M15 close back above the 0.7019 rollover gap and the 0.7024 NY high breaks the lower-highs line and reopens the 0.7036 monthly high.
  • Middle East and oil headlines remain the main risk-off override for AUD during the thin Asia session.

21:17 UTC

Intraday recovery, momentum fading · RSI 44 · price 0.7017

Higher lows off the London low, compressing below the NY high.

Middle East and oil risk-off took London through 0.7000 to a 0.6994 london low, but the dip became a false break. NY then printed a 0.7002 higher low and a 0.7024 ny high, still short of the 0.7036 monthly high tagged in Asia. Post-NY trade is compressing near 0.7017, just above the 0.7013 pullback low, which sits on the 38.2% fib and the rising NY higher-lows trendline.

Support: 0.70131, 0.70021, 0.69936

Resistance: 0.7024, 0.70361

  • M15 close below the 0.7013 pullback low breaks the NY higher-lows trendline and exposes the 0.7002 higher low
  • Loss of the 0.7002 higher low puts the 0.6994 london low back in play
  • M15 close above the 0.7024 ny high reopens the 0.7036 monthly high

21:05 UTC

Intraday recovery from London low, stalling · RSI 48 · price 0.70187

Higher lows off 0.6994, tight late-NY consolidation below 0.7024.

Oil and Middle East risk-off pushed London through the Asian range low and under the 0.7000 psych to a 0.6994 london low. That break was reclaimed as the USD faded, and NY built higher lows into a 0.7024 ny high. Price now sits in a 0.7013–0.7020 band below a lower high, with the swing low holding at the 38.2% retracement and RSI(14) neutral near 48.

Intraday recovery, momentum flat · RSI 48 · price 0.70188

Higher-low chain off the 0.6994 day low, capped below the 0.7024 ny high.

Asia faded from the 0.7036 asia high. Oil-driven risk-off then pushed London through the 0.7000 round number to a 0.6994 day low around 11:00 UTC, but price reclaimed the level within one bar. NY built higher lows up to the 0.7024 ny high, and the late-NY pullback held the 0.7013 swing low near the 38.2% retrace. Price is now drifting around 0.7019 with RSI(14) near 48, sitting just above the higher-low trendline.

Recovering intraday, momentum flat · RSI 48 · price 0.70182

Higher lows off 0.6994 sweep; late-NY range 0.7013–0.7024.

London's dip through 0.7000 to a 0.6994 day low reversed quickly. That turn opened a chain of higher lows at 0.7002 and 0.7013, and the NY pullback from the 0.7024 NY high held the 0.7013 NY low near the 38.2% fib. Late NY is now compressing mid-range with RSI near 48, while oil-driven risk-off keeps the 0.7036 Asia high out of reach.

London false break below 0.7000, then higher low and a tight late-NY range.

London broke through 0.7000 to a 0.6994 london low as oil-driven risk-off hit AUD, but the break failed. NY printed a higher low at the 0.7002 ny low and ran to the 0.7024 ny high. The late-NY pullback held the 0.7013 swing low near the 38.2% fib, with RSI(14) in the mid-40s and price sitting between EMA20 and EMA50.

19:47 UTC

Intraday recovery, stalling below 0.7024 · RSI 52 · price 0.70172

Higher lows since London's sub-0.7000 false break; lower high under the NY high.

Asia faded from the 0.7036 monthly high and London briefly broke 0.7000 to a 0.6994 London low before reclaiming it. That false break has since built higher lows at the 0.7002 NY low and the 0.7013 swing low along a rising lows line. Late NY is consolidating under the 0.7024 NY high at the 23.6% retrace of the london-ny leg, with RSI(14) ~51 and price hugging EMA20 as oil-driven risk-off is offset by a soft USD.

London broke the Asian low and the 0.7000 handle to a 0.6994 session low on Middle East and oil risk-off, then reclaimed it. NY has since built higher lows at the 0.7002 NY low and the 0.7013 swing low (near the fib 38.2%) along rising support. Price is boxed under the 0.7024 NY high late in the NY session, with RSI(14) neutral near 52.

London broke below the Asian range and 0.7000 to a 0.6994 london low as Middle East risk-off hit AUD, but the move failed fast. NY printed a higher ny low at 0.7002 and lifted to a 0.7024 ny high, well short of the 0.7036 asian high and monthly peak.

Higher lows from the London low, capped below the Asian high.

London broke the Asian range low and the 0.7000 psych to a 0.6994 london low, then quickly reclaimed it, while oil-driven risk-off was cushioned by the soft USD. NY set a higher low at 0.7002 and ran to a 0.7024 ny high, and price is now easing late in the NY session toward the 50% retrace of that leg near 0.7013, with the higher-low line from the London low still intact.

Intraday recovery, momentum stalling under 0.7024 · RSI 56 · price 0.70185

Higher lows since the London low, late-NY pullback off the session high.

AUD/USD faded from the 0.7036 Asian high and swept below 0.7000 to a 0.6994 London low as oil-led risk-off hit, then NY built higher lows up to a 0.7024 NY high on the soft USD. The late-NY pullback is holding the 0.7017 pullback low, near the 23.6% fib of the London low–NY high leg, with RSI(14) ~56.

Higher lows off London false break, tight range 0.70163–0.7024.

London broke below 0.7000 to a 0.69936 london low as oil and Middle East risk-off hit AUD, but the break failed and NY printed a higher low at 0.70021 before recovering to a 0.7024 ny high, with the soft USD cushioning the bounce. Late NY is now consolidating just above the 0.70163 swing low, holding the recovery fib's 23.6% near 0.7017 and well short of the 0.70361 asia high.

London broke the 0.7007 Asian-session low at 11:00 UTC as oil-driven risk-off lifted USD. Price swept 0.7000 to a 0.6994 day low before NY reclaimed the handle. A 0.7002 higher low has since carried price back to the 0.7024 NY high, with RSI(14) near 62 and the 0.7036 Asian high, the monthly peak, the next cap above.

Oil-driven risk-off pushed AUDUSD through 0.7000 to a 0.6994 day low around 11:15 UTC. The pair reclaimed the handle within one bar, then printed a higher low at 0.7002 during NY hours.

NY then set a higher low at 0.70021 and rallied into a 0.70236 session high after London close.

London faded the 0.7036 Asia high, the monthly high, as Middle East risk-off and oil weighed. It briefly broke 0.7000 to the 0.6994 london low before NY reclaimed the figure.

Asia faded from the 0.7036 monthly high into a lower-high sequence.

London's break below 0.7000 psych to a 0.6994 day low was reversed within the hour, a false break, after the hawkish RBA repricing drew demand. Since then a 0.7006–0.7015 NY range has held, with the claims beat and oil-driven USD firmness capping it. Price is now pressing the NY low at 0.7006, below EMA20/50 with RSI(14) at 46.

Middle East risk-off pulled AUDUSD from the 0.70361 window high through the Asian session. During London it slipped through the 0.7007 Asian low and the 0.7000 round number to a 0.69936 session low, then recovered above 0.7000 in a false break. Early in the NY session the rebound stalled at the 0.70145 ny high, near the 50% retrace of the asia-london drop, as the initial jobless claims beat lifted USD; price is back under the Asian low with lower highs intact.

Intraday downtrend, sharp V-bounce off lows · RSI 51 · price 0.70104

Lower highs from 0.7036 Asia high; false break below 0.7000 reclaimed into NY open.

Late London pushed AUD through the 0.7000 psych level to a 0.6994 day low on Gulf risk-off, then snapped back above it into the London-NY transition. Price is stalling at the 61.8% fib near 0.7011 and the 0.7013 bounce high. The lower-highs line from the 0.7036 Asia high and the 0.7022 London high still cap the bounce.

AUDUSD was rejected at the 0.7036 Asian high as Middle East risk-off clipped the four-day rally, then slid to a 0.7007 Asian low before USD softness slowed the drop. London has stayed inside the Asian range, stalling at the 0.7022 London high near the 50% retrace and printing lower highs into a 0.7013 London floor.

Lower highs off 0.7036, flat base at 0.7007–0.7008.

The slide tagged a 0.7007 session low as Iran risk-off revived USD demand. Price is now bouncing from that low below both EMAs, with lower highs at 0.7036 and 0.7021 and RSI(14) near 36.

Support: 0.7007, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7020, 0.7036

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.7020 broken floor, also the 50% fib of the Asia drop, negates the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 0.7007 session low exposes the 0.7000 psych handle
  • Break of the lower-high trendline from 0.7036 would undercut the downtrend read
  • London open in about 3h often resets the Asian range, and US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC could shift USD tone
  • Iran/Middle East headlines driving safe-haven USD demand remain the swing factor

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since Asia open · RSI 34 · price 0.70119

LH/LL chain after rejection at range top; prior-day range broken lower.

Asia session pushed to 0.7036, the range top capped repeatedly yesterday, and was rejected. The pair broke through yesterday's 0.7018–0.7036 range to a 0.7007 Asia low as Iran tensions revived safe-haven USD demand. Lower highs at 0.7031 and 0.7021 keep the chain intact, with RSI(14) near 34 and the 0.7000 psych handle just below.

Support: 0.7007, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7021, 0.7036

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7021 lower high, which is also the 50% fib of the Asia selloff, breaks the lower-high chain
  • Failure to hold the 0.7007 Asia low exposes the 0.7000 psych handle
  • London open in ~3h, a test of whether the Asian range extends or holds
  • US jobless claims at 12:30 UTC and Iran headlines could materially shift this read

Intraday downtrend, lower highs · RSI 31 · price 0.70097

Failed break of 0.7035 swing high, sell-off to new session low.

Asia session spiked to 0.7036, a marginal false break of yesterday's 0.7035 swing high, then reversed about 29 pips as Iran tensions revived the safe-haven USD bid. The move cut through yesterday's 0.7018 NY lows to a 0.7007 session low, a lower high at 0.7021 capped the bounce, and price now sits just above the 0.7000 psych handle with RSI(14) near 31.

Support: 0.7007, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7021, 0.7036

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.7021 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 0.7007 session low exposes the 0.7000 psych handle
  • Iran/Middle East headlines could extend or reverse the USD bid quickly
  • US initial jobless claims at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Intraday downtrend after failed push to session high · RSI 40 · price 0.70167

Range break lower, lower highs since 0.7036; bounce retesting the broken range floor from below.

Early Asia briefly cleared yesterday's 0.7034-0.7035 range top to a 0.7036 session high, then reversed. Price broke the 0.7018-0.7020 range floor that held twice during NY hours as Iran tensions revived safe-haven USD demand, printing a 0.7012 session low. The bounce stalled at 0.7021, near the 38.2% fib of the drop, with price below both EMAs and RSI(14) near 40.

Support: 0.70123, 0.7009, 0.7000

Resistance: 0.7019, 0.70361

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 0.7019 range floor and the 0.7021 bounce high invalidates the range-break read
  • Failure to hold the 0.7012 session low confirms a lower-low and exposes the 0.7009 prior low, then the 0.7000 psych handle
  • Lower highs from the 0.7036 session high stay intact while price holds below the descending line
  • US initial jobless claims at 12:30 UTC and Iran headlines could materially shift this read

False break of range top in Asia, lower highs since, base forming at 0.7012.

The RBA-repricing rally stalled at three-week highs: Asia briefly cleared the 0.7034–0.7036 range top to an asia high of 0.70361, then reversed 24 pips to the 0.70123 asian low, holding above the 0.7009 prior low. The bounce to 0.7019 is capped below the ema20 near 0.7022, close to the 38.2% retrace of the Asia drop. RSI(14) sits near 41 and ATR is about 4 pips with London open roughly four hours out.

False break of 0.7036 high, lower low through 0.7018.

Asia briefly cleared yesterday's 0.7036 London high, then reversed 24 pips. The drop cut through the 0.7018–0.7019 NY and Asia-open lows to a 0.7012 session low, and the bounce is stalling just under that broken low. The four-day AUD rally on the RBA hike repricing is pausing, with RSI(14) near 41 and price below EMA20 and EMA50.

False break above 0.7036, impulsive drop to 0.7012.

Mid-Asia session: the push to 0.7036 matched yesterday's London double high, then rejected and fell 24 pips to the 0.7012 Asia low, just above the prior low at 0.7009. Hawkish RBA repricing kept AUD near three-week highs, but the move above 0.7036 did not hold. Price is basing at 0.7018 below both EMAs.

Lower highs from 0.7036, broken below NY-session lows.

Early Asia session pushed AUD to 0.7036 on the hawkish RBA repricing. Price edged just past yesterday's 0.7036 high and then reversed, a false break that has since cut through the 0.7018 broken lows from NY hours to a session low at 0.7012. RSI(14) is near 34, soft but not stretched, with 0.7009 prior low and the 0.7000 round number below.

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.7009 prior low exposes the 0.7000 round number
  • Reclaim of the 0.7018 broken lows, then the fib 50% at 0.7024, would neutralise the false-break read
  • Break of the lower-highs line from 0.7036 would end the intraday downtrend

False break of 0.7036 high, then range break below 0.7018 floor.

The Asia session briefly took out the prior range top to a 0.7036 session high, then reversed in a 22-pip sell-off. That move broke the 0.7018 range floor, which had held twice during NY hours, and RSI(14) has slid to about 38. The drop trims part of the extended hawkish-RBA rally, leaving the prior low at 0.7009 and the 0.7000 round number below.

AUDUSD has held a 0.7018–0.7036 range since London, with demand stepping in at the 0.7018 range low twice during NY hours as hawkish RBA repricing kept AUD near three-week highs. Asia session poked a marginal new high at 0.70361 above the range high. It was rejected and the full Asia leg has unwound back to the range low, RSI(14) near 43.

0.7018–0.7036 range since London; false break of range top in Asia.

London cleared yesterday's 0.7009–0.7029 Asian range on the hawkish RBA repricing, and price has held a 0.7018–0.7036 range since, with buyers stepping in at the range low three times. Today's Asia push to a marginal range top at 0.70361 was rejected back to the 0.7028 micro low, and the bounce stalled at a 0.70313 lower high. RSI(14) sits near 53 and price is flat on EMA20.

0.7018–0.7036 range since London, rising lows at floor.

AUDUSD has held a 0.7018–0.7036 range since London, with supply capping the range top for a fourth time when the early Asia push to 0.70361 was rejected. The pullback low at 0.7028 sits on the 50% of the Asia leg, while rising lows at the range floor keep the range compact. The hawkish RBA repricing has kept dips shallow, and RSI(14) is near 61.

Support: 0.7028, 0.7018, 0.7009

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7036 range top breaks the cap tested four times since London

Sideways, upper half of 24h range · RSI 52 · price 0.70283

0.7018–0.7036 range since London; fresh high at Asia open rejected.

Early Asia pushed through the twin 0.70356 highs and above the NY high to a window high of 0.70361, then reversed sharply back to 0.7028. That is the 50% retracement of the overnight 0.70195–0.70361 leg, with price sitting on the ema20. The 0.7018–0.7036 range has held since London, and RBA hike repricing keeps AUD pinned near three-week highs.

Resistance: 0.70343, 0.70361

What it said to watch

0.7018–0.7036 range since London; Asia higher lows off the floor.

The Asia session climbed from the 0.7020 range floor in a steady asia uptrend to 0.7036. That is a marginal poke through the range top, which capped London and NY three times. The last bar has eased back to 0.7032, above the ema20, as hawkish RBA repricing keeps AUD pinned near three-week highs.

Support: 0.7028, 0.7020

Early Asia lifted AUDUSD off the 0.7020 late-NY low through the 0.7028 breakout pt, and price is now pressing the 0.7036 range top. That ceiling has capped London and NY five times on the hawkish-RBA bid. The range floor at 0.7018 held twice during NY, and RSI(14) near 63 shows no stretch.

Resistance: 0.70356

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.7036 range top breaks the range, with the 0.7035 area flagged as the RBA-repricing extension zone
  • Failure back below the 0.7028 breakout pt returns price to mid-range and puts the late-ny low at 0.7020 back in play
  • Loss of the 0.7018 range floor would mark a lower low and break the range to the downside
  • US Initial Jobless Claims at 12:30 UTC and AU flash PMIs at 22:00 UTC are the next scheduled catalysts for this range

  • A break below the 0.70212 higher low and the rising Asia trendline returns focus to the 0.70185 range floor
  • US jobless claims (12:30 UTC) and AU flash PMIs (22:00 UTC) could materially shift this read
