23:01 UTC

Recovery uptrend, momentum easing · RSI 54 · price 0.71682

Higher lows since Monday low, capped at 0.7181.

AUDUSD has recovered steadily from the Monday flush to 0.7099, grinding higher through London and into NY hours with price now consolidating in the upper 0.716s above both EMAs. The 0.71815 session high capped Monday's NY push and a softer retest is now holding the 0.71600 intraday base. RSI(14) sits mid-range near 54, reflecting the loss of momentum after the impulse.

Support: 0.7160, 0.7144, 0.7116

Resistance: 0.7176, 0.71815

What it said to watch

  • Australia April CPI release in ~3h could materially shift this read
  • H1 close above 0.71815 week high would extend the recovery
  • Loss of 0.71600 intraday base opens 0.71440 prior pivot
  • Kashkari hawkish Fed comments still in background, USD-supportive

22:01 UTC

Higher lows since Monday, capped under 0.7180.

AUDUSD has recovered steadily since Monday's open from the 0.7116 week low, posting higher lows into the NY session and stalling under 0.7180 where the week high at 0.71815 capped Monday's NY push. Price is consolidating in a tight 0.7160–0.7170 band above both EMAs with RSI flattening near 54, momentum cooling ahead of the Australia CPI print on Wednesday.

Support: 0.7160, 0.71519, 0.7116

  • Loss of 0.71600 intraday base exposes Mon swing low at 0.71519
  • Australia CPI in next few hours could materially shift this read

21:01 UTC

Higher highs and higher lows since Monday open.

AUDUSD has climbed steadily since Monday's London open, posting a week high at 0.71815 during the NY session before stalling. Price is now consolidating in a tight range above the 0.71600 intraday low, holding above EMA20 with RSI cycling around 50–55 on pullbacks. The 0.71774–0.71815 zone has capped two attempts and is the obvious supply ahead of Wednesday's Australia CPI print.

Resistance: 0.71784, 0.71815, 0.71681

Recovery uptrend off Friday low · RSI 55 · price 0.7166

Higher lows since Friday, capped at 0.7181.

AUDUSD has rebuilt steadily since Friday's flush to 0.7107, printing higher lows through the London-NY sessions and tagging the week high at 0.7181 before sellers leaned in. Price now consolidates around 0.7166 with RSI(14) hovering mid-range and EMA20 tracking pullbacks near 0.7149. The 50% fib of the May high–Friday low sits at 0.7177, aligning with the week high to define the ceiling.

Support: 0.7160, 0.7149, 0.7107

Resistance: 0.7181, 0.7177, 0.7200

What it said to watch

19:01 UTC

Recovery uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 52 · price 0.71616

Higher lows since Friday, capped at 0.7181.

AUDUSD has climbed steadily from Friday's 0.7107 low, posting a string of higher lows through the London and NY sessions this week. The 0.7178–0.7181 week high capped two attempts during yesterday's NY session, with price now drifting sideways above EMA(20) near 0.7149. RSI(14) has flattened around 52 after rolling off mid-60s, pointing to cooling momentum into a tight range.

Support: 0.7149, 0.7135

Resistance: 0.7178, 0.71815, 0.7172

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 0.71815 (50% fib) opens path toward the May highs
  • Loss of 0.71490 ema20 puts the rising wedge structure under pressure
  • MUFG/forexlive flagging 0.7177 as a key ceiling — rejection or break defines next leg

18:01 UTC

Recovery from midweek low, momentum fading at range top · RSI 52 · price 0.71626

Range reasserting after a failed breakout attempt.

AUDUSD rebounded off the 0.7099 week low set during Friday's NY session and has spent this week's London-NY hours grinding back into the 0.7160–0.7180 zone. Today's NY session tagged 0.71815 then faded, with the 50% retracement at 0.71774 capping price for a second time. RSI(14) cycling around 50 and price drifting sideways into the close suggests the recovery impulse has stalled at known resistance.

Support: 0.7158, 0.7149, 0.7116

Resistance: 0.71815, 0.71774, 0.7170

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 0.71815 invalidates the range-top rejection read
  • Loss of 0.71580 session low opens a retest of the EMA(20) near 0.71490
  • MUFG/positioning commentary flags stretched AUD longs — sentiment risk into Asia

17:01 UTC

Recovery rally, momentum easing · RSI 54 · price 0.71626

Higher lows since Friday's low, capped under 0.7182.

AUDUSD has ground higher through this week's London and NY sessions after basing near 0.7100 on Friday, with the rally peaking at 0.71815 before stalling. Yesterday's NY session saw sellers lean against the 0.7178 area and price has since drifted into a tight 0.7158–0.7170 range, with RSI(14) cooling back to the mid-50s. Momentum is fading into resistance even as higher lows hold.

Support: 0.7158, 0.7149, 0.71285

Resistance: 0.7178, 0.71815

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 0.71815 rally peak opens path higher
  • Break of 0.71580 session low exposes the ema20 confluence near 0.7149
  • MUFG flagging stretched AUD positioning aligns with the rejection at 0.7178

16:01 UTC

Recovery uptrend, momentum easing · RSI 52 · price 0.71667

Higher lows since Friday's flush, capped at 0.7180.

AUDUSD has ground higher since Monday's session open, recovering the Friday flush that printed the 0.71285 weekly low, with price now coiling under the 0.71815 week high. Pullbacks into the NY session yesterday and again today have held the 0.71600 intraday floor and EMA(20), but RSI(14) has flattened near 50 and the upper boundary is rejecting cleanly — MUFG's note flagging stretched positioning aligns with the loss of impulse.

Support: 0.7160, 0.71519, 0.71285

Resistance: 0.71815, 0.71759, 0.71722

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 0.71815 opens path toward 0.7200 round number
  • Loss of 0.71600 intraday floor exposes 0.71519 session low and the weekly low
  • RBNZ event risk this week could spill into AUD via cross flow

15:01 UTC

Recovery from midweek low, momentum fading · RSI 52 · price 0.71667

Higher lows since 0.7099, capped under 0.7181.

AUDUSD has clawed back the early-week flush to 0.7099 with a steady grind of higher lows, but the 0.7178 week high rejected on the prior NY session and price is now consolidating just above EMA(20). RSI(14) has cooled to the low-50s as the rally loses thrust, and MUFG-flagged positioning concerns echo the H1 cap forming under 0.7178. The session low at 0.71561 is the immediate pivot for the recovery leg.

Support: 0.71561, 0.71439, 0.7119

Resistance: 0.71784, 0.71722, 0.71681

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 0.71784 week high reopens the upside extension
  • Loss of 0.71561 session low confirms a lower-high under the cap
  • Break of 0.71439 prior swing invalidates the recovery structure
