17:03 UTC
Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 49 · price 0.6994
Higher highs/lows, consolidating below 0.7026.
Uptrend intact with higher lows since the early-month base near 0.6885; the leg to the 0.7026 five-week high stalled and price is now consolidating around 0.6994. Thursday's blowout AUD jobs print (76.3K vs 15K f/c) drove the advance, but firm USD on the hawkish-Fed/energy narrative has repeatedly capped the 0.7020-0.7026 zone. ATR is compressed as the pair coils below resistance.
Support: 0.6961, 0.6942, 0.6885
Resistance: 0.7026, 0.7020
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.7026 extends the uptrend toward fresh highs
Failure to hold 0.6961 confirms a lower-low and breaks higher-low structure
AU Q2 CPI Wed 01:30 UTC and FOMC Wed 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read
Consolidation below 0.7025 after multi-week grind higher.
AUDUSD has trended higher since the early-month low near 0.6867, but price is now consolidating in a 0.6960-0.7025 range with three failed pushes into the 0.7025 five-week high. Firm USD on the hawkish-Fed narrative is capping upside while hot AU jobs keep a floor under the pair; ATR is steady, not compressing. EMA20 and EMA50 remain below spot, consistent with the broader uptrend still intact.
Support: 0.6961, 0.6915
Resistance: 0.7025, 0.7005
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.7025 opens the path back toward the prior extension
Failure to hold 0.6961 swing low would confirm a lower low and expose the range low at 0.6915
AU Q2 CPI (Wed) and FOMC (Wed) are the catalysts that could break this range
Higher-low structure carried AUDUSD up from the June lows into a five-week high near 0.7026, but that zone has capped price three times and the pair is now consolidating back around the 0.70 pivot. The jobs beat revived RBA hike bets, yet firm USD keeps upside contained, leaving H4 rangebound below the cap. ATR is subdued, consistent with the compression under 0.7026.
Support: 0.69618, 0.7000, 0.69106
Resistance: 0.70263, 0.70146
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.7028 breaks the five-week cap and reopens upside
Failure to hold 0.69618 confirms a lower-low and exposes the 0.70 pivot loss
Australia CPI Wed 01:30 UTC is the swing factor that could break this range
AUDUSD stalled at a five-week high near 0.7026 and has been consolidating around the 0.7000 pivot, with the 0.7025-0.7028 zone repeatedly rejected. The June jobs beat (+76.3K vs 15K) revived RBA hike bets and drove the leg up, but firm USD keeps the upside capped. Price is pulling back into EMA20 while holding above a rising EMA50, and the higher-low structure since the 0.6913 base is still intact.
Support: 0.6960, 0.6900
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7026
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.7026 clears the cap and reopens the upside
Failure to hold 0.6960 swing low confirms a lower-low toward 0.6900
Australia CPI Wed 01:30 UTC is the swing factor that could break this range
09:03 UTC
Uptrend stalling below cap · RSI 46 · price 0.69838
Consolidating 0.6960-0.7026 beneath resistance.
Uptrend off the early-month 0.6867 base ran into repeated rejection at the 0.7026 cap (the cited 50-day SMA) and has since pulled back into a 0.6960-0.7026 consolidation. Price is back below EMA20 but holding the 0.6968 pivot, with the June jobs beat keeping RBA-hike pricing alive while firm USD caps the topside. ATR sits in a moderate regime, consistent with range-bound behaviour rather than trend extension.
Support: 0.6968, 0.6961, 0.6800
Resistance: 0.7026, 0.7000
What it said to watch
H4 close above 0.7026 opens the path back to the weekly high
Loss of 0.6968 pivot exposes 0.6800 support
Q2 CPI Wed 29 Jul 01:30 UTC is the decisive catalyst for this read
09:03 UTC
Uptrend stalling, rolling over · RSI 46 · price 0.69838
Double top ~0.7026, neckline retest.
The multi-day rally topped twice near 0.7026 — coinciding with the 50-day SMA cap — leaving a double top and rejection back below the 0.7000 round number. Price has since slipped through the 0.6968 pivot area intraday to a 0.6962 swing low before recovering to 0.6984, and now sits below EMA20 but above EMA50. ATR is steady, so the pullback has room without signalling exhaustion.
Support: 0.6968, 0.6962
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7026
What it said to watch
H4 close back above 0.7000 round number negates the double top
Failure to hold the 0.6968 pivot confirms a lower low toward 0.6962 swing low
Australian Q2 CPI Wed 29 Jul is the decisive catalyst and could reshape this read
RBA Bullock speech Tue 28 Jul may move AUD into CPI

Uptrend stalling, rolling over below 0.7000 · RSI 44 · price 0.69741
Higher highs into 0.7026, now pulling back through the 0.7000 pivot.
Price built higher highs from the early-month 0.6865 base up to 0.7026, then stalled and consolidated around the 0.7000 psych level after the strong AUD jobs beat kept RBA hike pricing intact. The last few bars have broken back below 0.7000 with rejection, dragging price toward the 0.6970 support UOB flags. ATR sits in a moderate regime with momentum fading as RSI slips under 50.
Support: 0.6970, 0.6961
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7026
What it said to watch
Loss of 0.6970 support opens the path toward the 0.6961 swing low
H4 close back above the 0.7000 psych level revives the push toward 0.7026
Q2 CPI (Wed 01:30 UTC) and Bullock (Mon) are the key catalysts that could redefine this read
05:03 UTC
Uptrend stalling, rolling over · RSI 44 · price 0.69741
Lower highs below 0.7000 after double top.
A multi-day advance off the early-month 0.6913 base stalled at 0.7026, printing a double top with a second lower peak near 0.7020 before rolling over below the 0.7000 psych pivot. AUD stayed pinned around 0.7000 after the 76.3K jobs beat kept RBA hike pricing intact, but firmer USD capped the upside and price is now retracing into the 0.6970 support UOB flags. ATR(14) near 15 pips shows a steady, non-expanding regime as the pullback develops.
Support: 0.6970, 0.6961, 0.6913
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7026, 0.7045

Uptrend rolling over near highs · RSI 42 · price 0.69671
AUDUSD rode this week's blowout jobs print up to a twin peak at 0.7020-0.7026, but the advance stalled there and price has since rejected, slipping back under the 0.7000 psych level and both EMAs. The pullback breaks the run of higher lows off 0.6913, with 0.6961 the immediate structural floor. ATR remains moderate near 19 pips as the uptrend consolidates ahead of Wednesday's Q2 CPI.
Support: 0.6961, 0.6913
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7020, 0.7045
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.6961 confirms a lower low, breaking the higher-low sequence

01:03 UTC
Uptrend stalling, pulling back · RSI 42 · price 0.69671
Twin highs at 0.702, rolling off.
The multi-week climb ran into 0.702 twice and stalled, printing a double top before rolling over; AUD stayed pinned near 0.7000 after the blowout jobs print but couldn't extend. Price has since slipped back under the 0.7000 psych level and is now probing the 0.6964 swing low, with ATR(14) around 19 pips keeping the pullback orderly. EMA20 and EMA50 have flattened as momentum fades ahead of Q2 CPI.
Support: 0.6964, 0.6913
Resistance: 0.7000, 0.7026
What it said to watch
H4 close below 0.6964 swing low confirms a lower-low and validates the double top

Break of the rising support line off the 0.6913 prior low opens deeper retracement
Q2 Trimmed Mean CPI (Jul 29 01:30 UTC) is the key catalyst and could reset this read
