Flat after the NFP spike round-tripped · RSI 58 · price 0.56151

Late-NY higher lows inside the 0.5606–0.5631 post-NFP range.

The 29K NFP miss spiked NZD to the 0.5643 nfp high at 12:30 UTC. Supply capped it straight away, and the full nfp spike was retraced to the 0.5606 nfp low by late NY. Price has since printed shallow higher lows along a rising support line, up to the 0.5618 late ny high, and sits at 0.5615 near flat EMAs into the Friday close with ATR compressed to about 3 pips.

Resistance: 0.56177, 0.5631, 0.56427

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.5606 nfp low reopens the 0.5600 psych level and then the 0.5586 asia low
  • An M15 close above the 0.5618 late ny high puts the 0.5631 nfp range hi back in play
  • A break of rising support from the late-NY lows would end the higher-low sequence
  • Weekend gap risk into the Monday open; NZIER QSBO Mon 21:00 UTC and US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC could shift this read

Post-NFP spike rejected, late-NY grind higher · RSI 59 · price 0.56161

Rising lows off 0.5606 swing low, capped near 0.5618 below post-NFP range.

The 12:30 UTC NFP miss spiked NZDUSD to 0.5643 (nfp high), but the move was rejected and price slid back to the 0.5606 swing low, where buyers stepped in for a second time today. Late NY hours are printing rising lows into the 0.5618 late ny high, between the 23.6% and 38.2% of the nfp spike fib, with RSI(14) mid-range near 59.

Range after rejected NFP spike, mild late-NY recovery · RSI 58 · price 0.56155

NFP spike high rejected; rising lows off 0.5606 base, capped near 0.5618.

Asia slipped through 0.5600 to a 0.5586 Asian low before recovering. The US payrolls miss spiked price to a 0.5643 NFP high in the NY session, but it was rejected and faded to a 0.5606 post-NFP low. Late NY has built rising lows back to the 0.5618 late NY high into the Friday close, with RSI(14) near 58 and price pinned just above both EMAs.

Resistance: 0.56177, 0.56237, 0.56427

What it said to watch

  • Weekend gap risk; US ISM Services (Mon 14:00 UTC) and NZIER QSBO (Mon 21:00 UTC) could materially shift this read

20:03 UTC

Intraday range, late-NY recovery · RSI 64 · price 0.56175

Post-NFP spike rejected; higher lows building off 0.5606 NY low.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZDUSD to the 0.5643 nfp spike high. Supply capped it straight away, and NY faded the nfp range to the 0.5606 ny low, matching the London dip for a double bottom. Late-NY bars are now stacking higher lows along a rising trendline toward the 0.5624 london high, with about a third of the NFP spike fib retraced.

Resistance: 0.5624, 0.5631, 0.5643

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 0.5624 london high reopens the 0.5631 nfp range top

19:32 UTC

Post-NFP spike faded, late-NY grind higher · RSI 59 · price 0.56171

Higher lows off 0.5606 NY low, capped below 0.5624 London high.

Asia swept below the 0.5600 psych level to the 0.5586 asia low, then recovered. The US payroll miss (29K vs 90K) spiked the pair to the 0.5643 nfp high, but that move met rejection and was fully retraced to the 0.5606 ny low, which matches the London-session floor. Late NY is printing higher lows along a rising trendline and is retesting the 38.2% fib of the NFP drop near 0.5620, just under the 0.5624 london high.

Support: 0.56062, 0.5600, 0.5586

Resistance: 0.56237, 0.5631, 0.56427

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5624 london high clears the 38.2% fib and exposes the 0.5631 lower high
  • Loss of the rising trendline and the 0.5606 ny low puts the 0.5600 psych level and the 0.5586 asia low back in focus
  • Friday close with thin late-NY liquidity; NZIER QSBO (Mon 21:00 UTC) is the next NZD-specific risk and could set the open

19:17 UTC

Post-NFP spike fully faded, flat late NY · RSI 53 · price 0.56141

Back inside the 0.5606–0.5624 London range.

The US payrolls miss spiked the pair to 0.5643 at the 12:30 UTC release. Supply capped the 0.5631 NFP shelf, and the move unwound through NY, putting price back inside the pre-data range below the 0.5624 London high. Late NY is quiet near 0.5614 after the 0.5606 swing low held twice. RSI(14) is neutral near 53.

Support: 0.5606, 0.5600, 0.5586

Resistance: 0.5624, 0.5631, 0.56427

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5624 London high (near the 50% fib of the NFP spike) reopens the 0.5631 NFP shelf

19:05 UTC

Post-NFP spike unwound, flat in late NY · RSI 46 · price 0.56115

Tight range 0.5606–0.5613 after lower highs from 0.5631.

The NFP-miss spike to 0.5643 failed above the London high, and the late-NY slide from 0.5631 has retraced roughly 85% of the NFP spike fib, putting price back near its pre-release level. Price is now compressing between the 0.5606 session low and the 0.5613 range top, with RSI(14) neutral near 46 and price below both EMAs.

Support: 0.5606, 0.5600, 0.5586

Resistance: 0.5613, 0.5624, 0.5631

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 session low exposes 0.5600 psych, then the 0.5586 asian low
  • Close above the 0.5613 range top reopens the 0.5624 london high and the 0.5631 post-nfp hi
  • Full retrace of the NFP spike fib below 0.5606 would erase the payroll reaction
  • Weekend close in ~2h; NZIER QSBO and US ISM Services on Monday could reset this read

18:32 UTC

Post-NFP spike unwound, drifting lower · RSI 42 · price 0.56117

Lower highs off 0.5631, flat base at 0.5606.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZD to the 0.5643 NFP high, clearing the 0.5624 London high, but the post-NFP top at 0.5631 gave way after London close. Price is now back at 0.5612, near the pre-release level, and lower highs are capping each bounce. The 0.5606 swing low has held three times since mid-London, with RSI(14) near 42 and late NY trade quiet.

Resistance: 0.56237, 0.5631, 0.56427

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 swing low exposes 0.5600 psych and the 0.5586 asian low
  • Break of the lower-highs line and a close back above the 0.5624 london high negates the unwind read
  • Reclaiming the 0.5631 post-nfp top puts the 0.5643 nfp high back in focus
  • No scheduled data before the weekend close; NZIER QSBO Mon 21:00 UTC is the next NZD event risk

18:17 UTC

Post-NFP fade, momentum flattening · RSI 48 · price 0.56103

Lower highs off the NFP spike, compressing above the session low.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZDUSD through the 0.5624 london high to 0.5643. NY hours then faded the whole move back to the 61.8% fib of the asian low to nfp high leg. Late NY is now compressing between the 0.5606 session low and the 0.5613 minor high, with 0.5600 psych and the 0.5586 asian low beneath.

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 session low exposes 0.5600 psych and the 0.5586 asian low
  • Reclaim of the 0.5613 minor high, then the 0.5624 london high, would neutralise the NFP fade read
  • The nfp high at 0.5643 marks the post-data rejection ceiling
  • Friday close into the weekend; NZIER QSBO (Mon 21:00 UTC) and US ISM Services (Mon 14:00 UTC) could reset this read

NFP spike fully faded, momentum flattening · RSI 47 · price 0.56107

Post-NFP rejection back to the pre-NFP base; tight 0.5606–0.5613 compression late in the NY session.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked the pair to 0.5643 at 12:30 UTC. The move was fully rejected, and price has slid back to the pre-NFP base near 0.5610, under ema20. Late NY session is compressing just above the 0.5606 session low, which has been tested three times and sits at the 61.8% of the Asia-to-NFP fib.

Support: 0.5606, 0.5600, 0.5586

Resistance: 0.5613, 0.5618, 0.5631

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 session low exposes the 0.5600 psych level, then the 0.5586 Asian low
  • Reclaim of ema20 at 0.5613 and the 0.5618 pre-NFP high would ease the fade read; the 0.5631 post-NFP top sits above
  • Friday close in ~3h brings thin liquidity and weekend gap risk; US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC is the next major USD driver

17:47 UTC

Intraday downtrend since mid-NY, post-NFP gains fully unwound · RSI 40 · price 0.56108

Lower highs from 0.5631 into a double low at 0.5606, late NY.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZDUSD to a 0.5643 spike high, but the push through the 0.5624 london high did not hold. Price held a 0.5619–0.5631 nfp range until mid-NY, then slid along a descending line of lower highs back to the pre-NFP base. That base is a double low at 0.5606, matching the late-London trough, and price is pinned there late in NY after London close.

Support: 0.5606, 0.5600, 0.5586

Resistance: 0.5624, 0.5631, 0.5643

What it said to watch

  • A close above the descending line near 0.5613 and back over the 0.5624 london high eases the lower-high sequence
  • A break of the 0.5606 double low exposes the 0.5600 round number and the 0.5586 asian low
  • Reclaiming the 0.5631 nfp range top would revive a test of the 0.5643 spike high
  • Friday close; weekend headline gap risk, then US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) could reprice the post-NFP USD move

17:32 UTC

Intraday downtrend after failed NFP spike · RSI 37 · price 0.56075

Lower highs through NY session, back at London lows.

The NFP spike to the 0.5643 nfp high on the US jobs miss could not hold above the 0.5624 london high and has been fully unwound, consistent with the digest's read of muted, USD-driven relief. NY hours have printed lower highs along a descending line back to the 0.5606 london low after London close, with RSI(14) near 37 and the 0.5600 psych level just below.

Support: 0.5606, 0.5600, 0.5586

Post-NFP spike fully faded, short-term lower highs · RSI 37 · price 0.56115

Lower highs from 0.5631, holding above London low and 61.8% fib.

The US payrolls miss spiked NZDUSD to 0.5643, but the move was rejected and the pair has given back the whole gain, slipping from the 0.5631 NFP range high on a chain of lower highs. Late NY, after London close, price sits at 0.5611. The London low at 0.5606, which lines up with the 61.8% fib of the 0.5586–0.5643 leg, has held twice this afternoon.

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 London low and 61.8% fib exposes 0.5600 psych, then the 0.5586 Asia low
  • Break above the lower-highs trendline and the 0.5624 London high would neutralise the post-NFP fade
  • US ISM Services Mon 14:00 UTC (f/c 55.7) and NZ QSBO Mon 21:00 UTC could materially shift this read after the weekend gap

17:05 UTC

Intraday downswing after a failed NFP spike · RSI 41 · price 0.56106

Lower highs since the 0.5631 NY high, now testing the pre-NFP low.

The Asian dip to the 0.5586 asian low reversed. The NFP miss then spiked price to the 0.5643 nfp high, but that move was fully faded through a lower-high trendline from the 0.5631 ny high. Price now sits on the 0.5606 pre-nfp low, in line with the 61.8% fib of the Asia-to-NFP rally, with RSI(14) near 41 and price below both EMAs.

Post-NFP fade, short-term down · RSI 39 · price 0.56084

Lower highs from 0.5631, back at pre-NFP base.

The 29K NFP miss spiked the pair to the 0.5643 nfp spike high, but the break above the 0.5624 London high failed. Lower highs from the 0.5631 post-NFP high have since faded the whole move back to the 0.5606 London low in late NY. Price now sits on the 61.8% fib of the Asian low-to-NFP rally, with RSI(14) near 39 and price below both EMAs.

  • A recovery above the 0.5624 London high reopens the 0.5631 post-NFP high and negates the fade read
  • Thin liquidity into the Friday weekly close; ISM Services on Mon Oct 5 is the next major USD risk

16:17 UTC

Intraday pullback, NFP spike fully retraced · RSI 36 · price 0.5611

Lower highs since the 0.5631 post-NFP top, back at the pre-release base.

The 29K NFP miss spiked NZD to the 0.5643 nfp high, but sellers capped the post-NFP top at 0.5631. The gain bled out after London close, and price is back at the 0.5610 pre-release base, between the 50% and 61.8% of the Asian low-to-NFP fib leg. RSI(14) is near 36 with price under both EMAs. The London low at 0.5606 sits just below, and the London high at 0.5624 is now overhead.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5606 london low exposes the 0.5600 psych and the 0.5586 asian low
  • Recovery above the 0.5624 london high puts the 0.5631 post-nfp top back in play; the 0.5643 nfp high marks the false break
  • Friday late NY into the weekly close; liquidity thins and no scheduled data in the next 8h
  • A daily close relative to the 0.5600 psych handle frames whether the post-NFP rebound attempt has failed

Post-NFP range broken lower, back at pre-release levels.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZD to the nfp high at 0.5643, a false break above the 0.5624 London high that was rejected on the same bar. The pair then held a 0.5619–0.5631 range before the range floor gave way into London close. Price at 0.5611 has retraced about 85% of the nfp spike, with the London low at 0.5606 next below.

NY then held a 0.5619–0.5631 range before slipping back under the 0.5624 london high, a false break of the London high. Price at 0.5615 sits on the 50% of the Asia-NFP fib, with the 61.8% near 0.5610 aligning with the 0.5611 session low.

Post-NFP range broken lower; higher-low chain from 0.5586 intact.

The 29K NFP miss spiked NZDUSD to an nfp high at 0.5643 that was rejected within the bar. NY has since slipped out of the 0.5619–0.5631 post-NFP range, losing the nfp floor and the 38.2% fib, and price now sits on rising support from the 0.5586 asian low with the london low at 0.5606 near the 61.8% retracement.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) spiked NZDUSD to the 0.5643 nfp high at 12:30 GMT. The spike was rejected inside the bar, and price has since held a 0.5619–0.5631 range in NY hours. The range floor sits at the 61.8% fib of the 0.5606–0.5643 leg, and the latest bar is drifting back toward it.

The US payrolls miss (29K vs 90K) spiked the pair to 0.5643 on the release, but the move was rejected almost immediately. Trade has since compressed into a 0.5619–0.5631 band, with the post-NFP low sitting on the 38.2% retracement of the Asia low-to-spike move. The higher-low sequence from the 0.5586 Asia low through the 0.5606 London low remains intact.

That band sits above the 0.5624 London high and the 0.5615 asian high. The higher-low chain from the 0.5586 Asian low, through the 0.5606 london low and the 0.5619 post-nfp low, remains intact along the rising trendline. RSI(14) is near 64.

HH/HL chain from Asia low; post-NFP range 0.5619–0.5630.

The NFP miss (29K vs 90K) lifted NZD/USD through the 0.5624 london high to a 0.5643 nfp spike hi that was rejected within the bar. NY trade has since compressed between the 0.5619 nfp range lo, which sits on the 61.8% of the NFP leg fib, and the 0.5630 nfp range hi. The higher-low chain from the 0.5586 Asia low holds along the rising trendline.

Higher lows from 0.5586, false break above prior-day high at 0.5624, lower highs forming early London.

NZD/USD climbed from the 0.5586 Asian low as the USD squared positions before NFP. In early London it poked above the prior-day high to a 0.5624 session high, then faded back to 0.5613. Price is hugging ema20 with RSI(14) near 51; the 0.5610 London base is the nearest shelf, and the 0.5600 round number sits at the 61.8% fib of the Asian-low move.

Higher highs and higher lows off the Asian low; Asian range broken higher in London.

NZD/USD has built a higher-high, higher-low chain off the 0.5586 Asian low. Early London broke above the Asian high at 0.5615 and printed a 0.5624 session high, just clearing Thursday's 0.5622 peak as the dollar eased into payrolls. Price is holding just under that high with RSI(14) near 62, not stretched, and the 0.5625 psych level sits directly overhead.

Asia printed a 0.5586 low, then climbed in a steady higher-low chain along rising support as the dollar eased off its yearly high. About an hour into London, price has pressed 0.5620 twice and stalled just under yesterday's 0.5622 prior high. ATR is about 4.6 pips, a tight tape ahead of NFP.

Asia flushed to 0.5586, the lowest since Nov 2025, then rebuilt a higher-low chain back above the 0.5600 psych level as the dollar eased off its yearly high. The push through the Asian high at 0.5615 into London open topped at the 0.5620 session high and slipped back inside, a false break, with the higher low near 0.5610 still holding and RSI(14) neutral at 55.

Higher lows off Asian low, London-open false break of Asian range high.

NZD/USD climbed from the 0.5586 Asian low back above 0.5600 psych as the USD eased off its yearly high. At the London open it pushed through the 0.5615 Asian range top to a 0.5620 London high, but sellers rejected it just under the 0.5622 prior high. Price is now holding the 0.5610 asian shelf, with ATR(14) near 4 pips ahead of NFP.

After the rollover, NZD dipped through the 0.5600 psych handle to a 0.5586 Asian low, then rebounded in a steady higher-lows sequence as the USD eased off its yearly high. A push above the Asian range just before London open met rejection at 0.5620, the early high, just under the 0.5622 prior high, and price is holding near 0.5615 into US payrolls.

Support: 0.5600, 0.55935

Resistance: 0.5609, 0.56123, 0.56224

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5594 day low resumes the lower-low sequence; the rollover spike to 0.5592 was a thin-liquidity print
  • Reclaim of the 0.5609 late NY high, then the 0.5612 lower high, would break the lower-high chain within the swing high–day low fib
