Flat after gap fill, momentum neutral · RSI 50 · price 1.33274
Early Asia range 1.3322–1.3337 after weekend gap filled.
The open gapped about 20 pips lower to the 1.3304 gap low on weekend Hormuz haven headlines. The gap filled within the first hour of the Asia session, and price was rejected at the 1.33365 session high. The pullback held at the 1.3322 pullback low, between the 38.2% and 50% of the gap-fill fib, and price now sits at Friday's 1.3327 close, just under EMA50, with ATR near 7 pips.

Gap filled then rejected; holding just under friday close.
Early Asia session opened about 20 pips lower at the 1.3304 gap low on weekend Hormuz headlines. The gap filled within the hour, but the spike high at 1.3337 stalled between the 38.2% and 50% retracement of Friday's NY selloff (1.3371 friday high to 1.3310 friday low). Price has since slipped to the 1.3322 session low, just under the 1.3327 fri close, with RSI(14) neutral near 47.

A sharp squeeze then filled the gap and was rejected at the 1.3337 spike high, near the 50% retrace of Friday's drop from the 1.3371 Friday high. Price has since faded to 1.3323, sitting on EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) neutral near 48, above the 1.3310 Friday low.

Sunday open gapped about 20 pips under the 1.3327 fri close to a 1.3304 gap low, then a single 22:00 UTC bar filled it, carrying GBP's soft-USD reversal into early Asia.

Weekend gap down held at sunday low, sharp bounce toward Friday close.
Friday's BoE-hike and soft-USD rally hit a rejection at the 1.3371 friday high after the NY open, then sold off to the 1.3310 fri ny low before stalling just under the 38.2% fib near 1.3333. Sunday opened with a ~20-pip gap down, held the 1.3304 sunday low through early Asia session trade, and the latest bar has run back to 1.3323, just shy of the 1.3327 gap fill.

Intraday pullback from Friday high, gapped lower at weekly open · RSI 29 · price 1.33058
Weekly open gapped about 20 pips below the 1.3310 ny swing low and is holding near the 61.8% fib.
Friday's rally on strong UK data and a softer USD ran from the 1.3268 asian low to 1.3371 in NY, then retraced to the 1.3310 ny swing low. The weekly open gapped about 20 pips lower, below that level, and price is parked at the 61.8% fib retrace near 1.3307 in thin early Asia session trade. RSI(14) is near 29 and price sits under both EMAs; the sunday low at 1.3304 is the first floor and the friday close at 1.3327 marks the gap fill.

Sunday open gapped about 21 pips below Friday's 1.3327 close, with early Asia trade holding 1.3304–1.3309 in thin liquidity. That leaves price under Friday's NY low at 1.3310 and on the 61.8% fib of Friday's rally, after the 1.3371 spike was rejected during NY hours and the sell-off retraced the London high at 1.3349.

Day high rejected at 1.3371, higher lows off 1.3310 ny low.

The late-NY recovery line stalled at the 1.3331 rebound high near the 38.2% fib of the NY drop, with RSI(14) at 50 and price pinned to EMA20 into the weekly close.
