Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 55 · price 0.56342

Higher lows through London and NY, rollover dip reclaimed.

The election-relief bid and softer USD lifted NZD/USD from 0.5557 to a 0.56373 session high late in NY, with higher lows at 0.55881 in London and 0.56017 at the NY low. The thin rollover gap dipped to 0.56166, near the 61.8% of the NY leg, and was fully reclaimed. Early Asia is now holding above the 0.56285 pre-gap low, just below the session high.

Support: 0.56285, 0.56166, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5640

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.56373 session high and the 0.5640 round number extends the higher-high chain
  • Loss of the 0.56285 pre-gap low reopens the 0.56166 gap low and the 61.8% fib
  • Break below the 0.56017 NY low cuts the rising lows line and ends the intraday uptrend read
  • Fed's Waller at 09:00 UTC and US CPI at 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read; final NZ election count headlines remain a two-way risk

23:32 UTC

Uptrend, HH/HL chain intact · RSI 54 · price 0.56343

Higher highs and higher lows from 0.5556; rollover dip reclaimed.

Monday climbed steadily from the 0.5556 Asian low on NZD election relief and a softer USD. NY extended the move to a 0.5637 session high. A thin-liquidity rollover dip swept to the 0.5617 rollover low, at the 61.8% retrace and the rising trendline, before snapping back above 0.5630 into the new Asia session; RSI(14) is neutral near 54.

Support: 0.56259, 0.56166, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Break above the 0.5637 session high extends the HH chain toward the 0.5650 round number
  • Failure to hold the 0.5626 breakout lvl reopens the 0.5617 rollover low and the rising trendline
  • A close below the 0.5602 ny swing low breaks the intraday higher-low sequence
  • Waller at 09:00 UTC and US CPI at 13:30 UTC Tuesday could materially shift this read

23:17 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 54 · price 0.56323

HH/HL chain from 0.5602 NY low; rollover spike below 0.5621 reclaimed.

NZD extended its election-relief bid against a softer USD, with the late-NY rally topping at the 0.5637 session high. The thin-liquidity rollover spike to the 0.5617 spike low, near the 61.8% of the NY low–high fib, was fully reclaimed, and price is back at 0.5632 with RSI(14) near 54.

Support: 0.56285, 0.56166, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5637 session high resumes the HH chain toward the 0.5650 round number
  • Failure to hold the 0.5628 late-NY low, then the 0.5617 spike low, confirms a lower-low and exposes the 0.5602 NY low
  • Fed's Waller at 09:00 UTC and US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read

23:03 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 48 · price 0.56259

HH/HL chain intact; pullback holding above swing low.

Monday's election-relief bid and a softer USD lifted NZD from the 0.5556 Asian low. The move printed a higher low at the 0.56017 swing low and a session high at 0.56373 late in NY hours. The spread-thin rollover dip to the 0.56166 rollover low tagged the 61.8% fib and the rising trendline before price recovered to 0.5626, with RSI(14) neutral near 48.

Support: 0.56166, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56309, 0.56373

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.56309 rollover hi puts the 0.56373 session high back in play
  • Break below the 0.56166 rollover low and the rising trendline exposes the 0.56017 swing low
  • Failure to hold the 0.56017 swing low breaks the HH/HL chain
  • Fed's Waller at 09:00 UTC and US CPI at 13:30 UTC Tuesday could materially shift this read

22:32 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 60 · price 0.56298

HH/HL chain off the 0.5602 NY low; shallow pullback from 0.5637 holding above 0.5620.

The election-relief bid extended after London close as the dollar slid. Price ran from the 0.5602 NY low to a session high at 0.56373, then faded into the rollover. The thin rollover dip to 0.56206 held near the 50% fib of that leg and has been fully recovered, with price sitting on the ema20 around 0.5629 and RSI(14) neutral near 60.

Support: 0.56206, 0.56183, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.56206 rollover low exposes the 0.5618 prior high and the 61.8% fib
  • M15 close above the 0.56373 session high opens the path toward the 0.5650 cap zone
  • Loss of the 0.5602 NY low breaks the intraday HH/HL chain
  • US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC and any election-count headlines could materially shift this read

22:17 UTC

Intraday uptrend, fading into rollover · RSI 48 · price 0.56223

HH/HL chain from 0.5553 to 0.5637 session high; pullback now into the 38.2–50% zone.

The election-relief bid lifted NZD from 0.5553 in the Asia session through London and NY. A soft USD added a late-NY push to a 0.5637 session high after the 0.5602 NY swing low held. Price has faded since and gapped to a 0.5621 gap low at the daily rollover, between the 38.2% and 50% retracement of that NY leg, with RSI(14) back near 48 and ATR at roughly 3.6 pips.

Support: 0.56206, 0.56017, 0.5600

Resistance: 0.56285, 0.56373

What it said to watch

  • Unfilled rollover gap: a reclaim of the 0.5629 gap fill reopens the 0.5637 session high
  • An M15 close below the 0.5621 gap low and the 50% fib of the NY leg exposes the 0.5602 NY swing low and the 0.5600 round number
  • Rollover trading is thin; final NZ election-count headlines in the Asia session could move this quickly
  • US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC is the next scheduled USD swing risk

22:11 UTC

Uptrend, momentum cooling off the high · RSI 56 · price 0.56285

Higher lows from Asia through NY; late-NY breakout now pulling back.

Monday's election-relief bid and a softer USD on lower oil and yields kept NZD/USD climbing through every session. The London-open dip to 0.5588 and the 0.5602 NY low both held, and a late-NY break of the 0.5626 breakout level printed a 0.5637 session high. Price is now easing back toward that level and ema20 after the NY close, with RSI(14) cooled to ~56.

Support: 0.5626, 0.5618, 0.5602

Resistance: 0.5637, 0.5658

What it said to watch

  • Holding the 0.5626 breakout level on the retest keeps the higher-low chain intact.
  • An M15 close below the rising trendline near 0.5621 shifts focus to the 0.5618 range top and the NY low→high fib 50–61.8% zone (0.5620–0.5615).
  • A close above the 0.5637 session high opens the path toward 0.5658, last week's high.
  • A break of the 0.5602 NY low would unwind the day's higher-low structure.
  • Thin Asia-open liquidity, final election count headlines and Tue 13:30 UTC US CPI could materially shift this read.

21:46 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 59 · price 0.56298

HH/HL chain from the 0.5588 London low; post-breakout consolidation above 0.5626.

NZD extended the election-relief move through 0.5600 as the dollar softened on lower oil and yields. Late in the NY session it cleared the 0.5626 prior high and printed a 0.5637 session high. Price is now drifting back toward the breakout area near the 23.6% fib, with RSI(14) cooled to around 59 and ATR(14) at about 3 pips.

Support: 0.56259, 0.56214, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650, 0.5658

What it said to watch

  • Holding the 0.5626 prior high keeps the breakout intact; a close back below the 0.5621 pullback low points to a false break
  • A close above the 0.5637 session high opens the 0.5650 round number, then the 0.5658 last wk high cap
  • A break of the rising-lows trendline and the 0.5602 ny low would end the intraday HH/HL chain
  • NZ open and any final election-count headlines could shift this read; US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC is the next major USD risk

21:31 UTC

Uptrend, momentum stalling late NY · RSI 70 · price 0.56329

Higher lows since 0.5602 retest; tight consolidation under the session high.

Kiwi extended its election-relief gap higher as USD softened on falling oil and yields. London cleared the Asian high at 0.5602, and NY retested that level and held it. A late-NY breakout through the 0.5618 london high then ran to a 0.5637 session high. Price is now compressing in a 3-pip band above the 0.5631 consol low, with RSI(14) near 70 and ATR(14) about 3 pips.

Support: 0.56307, 0.56259, 0.56183

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5631 consol low puts the 0.5626 breakout level and 0.5618 london high back in play
  • Failure to hold 0.5618 breaks the higher-low trendline from the 0.5602 retest
  • Close above the 0.5637 session high opens the 0.5650-0.5660 upper cap flagged in the digest
  • US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC (core MoM f/c 0.2%) could materially shift this read
  • Final NZ election count headlines could unwind the relief premium

21:17 UTC

Uptrend, momentum flattening near highs · RSI 68 · price 0.56324

HH/HL chain from Asian low, tight coil under session high.

The election-relief gap higher set up a HH/HL climb from the 0.5553 Asian low, with the soft USD backdrop carrying late NY through the 0.5626 breakout lvl to a 0.5637 session high. Price is now coiling in a 2-pip band just under that high, RSI(14) cooling near 68. Dips have held above the rising trendline from the 0.5602 NY low.

Support: 0.5626, 0.5618, 0.5602

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Close back below the 0.5626 breakout lvl turns the late-NY push into a false break
  • Loss of the 0.5618 prior high and the rising trendline exposes the 0.5602 NY low
  • Close above the 0.5637 session high opens the 0.5650 cap flagged in the NZD digest
  • US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC and the final NZ election count could materially shift this read

21:03 UTC

Uptrend, extended into the NY close · RSI 72 · price 0.56333

HH/HL chain since Asia; late-NY range breakout holding.

NZD extended the election-relief bid against a soft USD. The pair carved higher lows from the 0.5553 Asia low through the 0.5588 London dip and the 0.5602 NY low, then broke the 0.5620–0.5626 range top late in NY to a 0.5637 session high. Price is pausing just above the 0.5629 swing low into the Asia handover, with RSI(14) near 72 and ATR compressing to about 3.4 pips.

Support: 0.56293, 0.5626, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • A close back below the 0.5626 range top, near the 38.2% of the ny leg fib at 0.5624, would turn the late-NY breakout into a false break
  • Loss of the 0.5602 ny low breaks the rising trendline and the HH/HL chain
  • Clearance of the 0.5637 session high puts the 0.5650 cap (digest 0.5650–0.5660 hurdle) in view
  • US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC, preceded by Fed's Waller at 09:00 UTC, plus the final NZ election count could materially shift this read

20:47 UTC

Uptrend, stalling at session high · RSI 71 · price 0.56327

HH/HL chain since the NY low, late-NY breakout above 0.5626.

Kiwi has built higher highs and higher lows since the weekly-open gap above Friday's 0.5539 close, helped by NZ election relief and a softer USD. A late-NY breakout through the 0.5626 prior high set a session high at 0.5637, and price is stalling just below it into the Asia handover with RSI(14) near 71.

Support: 0.56259, 0.56214, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Holding above the 0.5626 prior high keeps the breakout intact; a slip below the 0.5621 swing low and rising support would mark a failed breakout
  • A break of the 0.5602 NY low invalidates the intraday HH/HL chain
  • A close above the 0.5637 session high brings the 0.5650 round number into view, the base of the 0.5650-0.5660 cap
  • Fed's Waller (09:00 UTC) and US CPI (Tue 13:30 UTC) could materially shift this read, as could the final NZ election count

20:32 UTC

Uptrend, extended into late NY · RSI 76 · price 0.56332

Higher highs and higher lows since the weekend gap; new session high at 0.5637.

Kiwi gapped higher at the weekend open on NZ election relief and has built higher lows through every session since. The NY dip held at 0.5602 (ny low), just above the Asian range high, and a softer USD carried price through the 0.5618 london high to a 0.5637 session high in late NY. RSI(14) near 76 is extended but not extreme, with the 0.5621 swing low the latest higher low.

Support: 0.56214, 0.56183, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56373, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 0.5621 swing low breaks the higher-low chain and puts the 0.5618 london high retest in focus
  • Loss of the 0.5602 ny low would mean NY has given back the break of the Asian range high
  • 0.5650 thu high is the next overhead reference, cited as the upside cap in the macro digest
  • US October CPI, Tue 13:30 UTC, could materially shift this read; thin liquidity into Asia session

20:17 UTC

Uptrend, extending into late NY · RSI 79 · price 0.56349

Higher highs and higher lows, fresh session high after a late-NY breakout.

NZD extended its election-relief bounce as the USD sagged on lower oil and yields. London cleared the 0.5602 Asian high, and the NY dip retested it at 0.5602 before a post-London-close breakout above the 0.5626 breakout level printed a new session high at 0.5635. The higher-low trendline and the 0.5621 swing low are intact, RSI(14) near 79 is stretched, and last week's high at 0.5650 sits about 15 pips overhead.

Support: 0.56259, 0.56214, 0.5602

Resistance: 0.56349, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 0.5626 breakout level puts price back into the prior consolidation, with the 0.5621 swing low next
  • Break of the higher-low trendline and the 0.5602 Asian high would end the higher-low chain
  • Rejection at 0.5650 last week's high with RSI above 80 would mark a stall in the leg
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 09:00 UTC) and US CPI (Tue 13:30 UTC) could materially shift this read
  • Final NZ election count could unwind the relief bid

20:03 UTC

Uptrend, extended into late NY · RSI 72 · price 0.56313

Higher highs and higher lows from the London-open dip; fresh session high at 0.5634.

Election relief gapped NZD higher at the Sunday open, and the Asian rally carried it through 0.5600. The London-open dip held 0.5588, and NY printed a higher low at 0.5602 (ny low) before a late breakout through the 0.5626 prior high to a 0.5634 session high. The broader USD softness helped. RSI(14) sits near 72 heading into thin post-NY hours, and the 0.5650 round number is the next level above.

Support: 0.56259, 0.56216, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.5634, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.5626 prior high puts the breakout at risk of a false break
  • A close below the 0.5621 swing low (38.2% fib of the NY move) breaks the late-session higher-low chain
  • A break of the higher lows trendline and the 0.5602 ny low would end the intraday HH/HL sequence
  • A move through the 0.5634 session high leaves 0.5650 round number as the next test
  • Waller (Tue 09:00 UTC) and US CPI (Tue 13:30 UTC) sit beyond the next few hours but could reset this structure

19:47 UTC

Uptrend, higher highs through all sessions · RSI 74 · price 0.56287

HH/HL chain; late-NY breakout to new session high.

NZD opened with a weekend gap higher on election relief and climbed through Asia. London broke the Asian range high near 0.5602, and the NY dip found demand at 0.5602, the ny low, on the trendline support. Softer USD on US-Iran hopes then drove a late-NY breakout above the 0.5618 prior high to a 0.5634 session high. RSI(14) at 74 is warm but not extreme. ATR sits near 3 pips.

Support: 0.5618, 0.5602

Resistance: 0.5634, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 0.5618 prior high, the 50% fib of the NY leg, turns the breakout into a false break
  • A break below the 0.5602 ny low and the trendline support ends the HL chain
  • 0.5650 round number (0.5650–0.5660 cap zone) is next above the 0.5634 session high
  • Fed's Waller (Tue 09:00 UTC) and US CPI (Tue 13:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

19:32 UTC

Uptrend, late-NY drift higher · RSI 72 · price 0.56252

Higher-low chain from the Asia open; session high 0.5626 tested twice.

The weekend election result gapped NZDUSD ~26 pips higher at the Asia open, and a softer USD has since driven a rising-lows chain at 0.5588 in London and the 0.5602 NY low. Price is pressing the 0.5626 session high for a second time on thin late-NY ranges, with RSI(14) near 72 and 0.5621 as the NY pullback pivot.

Support: 0.5621, 0.56017

Resistance: 0.56259, 0.5630

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5626 session high puts the 0.5630 round number in play
  • Loss of the 0.5621 NY pullback low exposes the 0.5614–0.5617 zone of the NY leg fib
  • Break of the rising-lows line and the 0.5602 NY low would end the higher-low sequence
  • Election special-vote headlines during the Asia session could reverse the gap move
  • Fed's Waller (09:00 UTC) and US CPI (13:30 UTC) on Tuesday could materially shift this read

Uptrend, momentum fading late NY · RSI 69 · price 0.56219

Higher highs and higher lows since the gap-up open; fresh session high at 0.5626.

NZD gapped up about 26 pips from Friday's 0.5539 close on NZ election relief. A soft USD then extended the higher-low chain through Asia, London and NY. NY held its 0.5602 swing low and broke the 0.5618 prior high to a 0.5626 session high, and late-NY candles are now compressing just below it in thin trade, with RSI(14) near 69.

  • 0.5626 session high is the first cap; a close above it opens the 0.5650 round number

HH/HL chain intact; late-NY break above 0.5618 prior high.

The weekend gap higher on NZ election relief extended through Asia and London as a steady HH/HL uptrend, clearing the Asian high and 0.5600 round number while the USD softened. The 0.5602 swing low held the mid-session pullback, and late NY printed a session high at 0.5621. RSI(14) sits near 64, not stretched.

Monday gapped up from Friday's 0.5539 close on NZ election relief. London broke the Asian high at 0.5602 and ran to a 0.5618 session high at the NY open, where it met rejection. Price has since cut through the 0.5608 range floor on a series of lower highs and is back at the Asian high and 0.5600 psych/EMA50, the 50% retracement of the London leg, with RSI(14) near 40.

The weekend gap up from 0.5539 on NZ election relief, helped by a soft USD, ran through Asia and London to a 0.5618 session high at the London-NY transition. NY hours have broken the 0.5608 range floor, putting price below EMA20 at the 38.2–50% retrace of the London leg. The 0.5600 psych/ema50 level and the 61.8% retrace sit just underneath.

Intraday uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 64 · price 0.56114

Higher lows since London open, Asian range broken to the upside.

NZD gapped higher at the open on NZ election relief and climbed through Asia. London broke the 0.5602 Asian high and printed a 0.5617 session high, with the higher-low chain intact. Price is stalling just below that high mid-London, RSI(14) has cooled to 64 and ATR is about 4 pips.

Support: 0.56073, 0.56025, 0.55881

Resistance: 0.56167, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 0.5617 session high opens the path toward the 0.5650 prior high
  • Failure to hold the 0.5607 swing low breaks the higher-low chain
  • A return below the 0.5602 Asian high would turn the breakout into a false break; the 38.2% fib near 0.5593 sits just above the 0.5588 London low

Asian range broken higher in London, fresh session high.

NZD gapped up about 26 pips at the open on election-relief buying and rallied through Asia to the 0.5602 Asian high. The London low at 0.5588 held, and mid-London broke the Asian high to a 0.5616 session high. RSI(14) is near 68 and ATR is around 4 pips, so the move is pressing higher without being stretched.

Support: 0.56073, 0.56025, 0.55881

Resistance: 0.56156, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • A close back below the 0.5602 Asian high puts price back inside the Asian range and weakens the breakout read
  • Losing the 0.5607 swing low and the rising trendline breaks the intraday higher-low chain
  • A break of the 0.5616 session high opens space toward the 0.5650 zone flagged as the overhead hurdle

Price is now pressing the 0.5614 session high mid-London, with RSI(14) near 71, which is warm but normal for the trend.

HH/HL chain from the Monday gap; Asian high broken in London.

NZDUSD gapped up from Friday's 0.5539 close on NZ election relief. It has built higher lows along the rising trendline since the 0.5553 Asia dip, and the gap remains unfilled. Mid-London, price broke the 0.5602 Asian high and printed a session high at 0.5612, with RSI(14) near 71. The London dip at 0.5594 and the London low at 0.5588 (38.2% of the Asia rally fib) both held.

Resistance: 0.5612, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • Holding 0.5600–0.5602 (asian high) keeps the London breakout intact; a return inside the Asian range weakens it
  • An M15 close below the 0.5588 london low breaks the higher-low chain from the sunday low
  • Extension beyond the 0.5612 session high runs into the 0.5650–0.5660 last wk cap

Sunday's election-relief gap-up held, and the Asia session climbed from the 0.5553 asian low to 0.5602. The London open dip found demand at 0.5588, the london low, and higher lows followed. Price then broke the asian high and reached a session high at 0.5612. RSI(14) is near 73 and the last bars are compressing just under that high.

NZD gapped about 26 pips higher at the weekly open on coalition-win relief, then climbed from the 0.5553 Asian low along a rising trendline.

NZDUSD opened Monday with a gap above Friday's 0.5539 close on NZ election relief, then climbed from 0.5553 to the Asian high at 0.5603. London open broke through it to a session high at 0.5607, with a higher low at 0.5594 above the 0.5588 swing low. RSI(14) near 60 is not stretched, and the 0.5588 swing low sits at the 38.2% fib of the Monday rally.

The week opened with a gap above Friday's 0.5539 close, and Asia climbed from the 0.5553 asia low to 0.5602 on NZ election relief. Early London printed only a marginal new session high at 0.5604 and is compressing in a 0.5594–0.5604 band around 0.5600 psych, resting on the rising trendline with the 0.5588 swing low as the last higher low; RSI(14) has cooled to ~54.

  • Acceptance above the 0.5604 session high extends the higher-high sequence
  • China CPI and the final NZ election count (~14% of votes outstanding) could materially shift this read

Asia opened with a 26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close. Price then climbed in a steady HH/HL chain to a 0.5603 asia high, helped by the USD fade on Iran de-escalation and NZ coalition relief.

Asia then built a steady HH/HL climb from the 0.5553 asian low to a 0.5603 session high at the 0.5600 round number, as the USD faded post-NFP and tariff relief lifted risk.

Monday opened with a gap up from Friday's 0.5539 close. The Asia session then climbed in a steady HH/HL chain from the 0.5553 Asian low to a 0.5602 session high, helped by relief over the NZ coalition result and a softer USD. RSI(14) near 79 is stretched as price tests the 0.5600 round number late in Asia, ahead of London open, with the rising trendline intact.

Support: 0.5600, 0.55885, 0.55533

Resistance: 0.5602, 0.5650

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 0.5600 round number would mark the push to the session high as a failed probe
  • Loss of the 0.5589 swing low breaks both the HH/HL chain and the rising trendline, which opens the 50% fib of the Asian leg near 0.5578
  • Holding above the 0.5602 session high leaves the 0.5650 cap flagged in the macro read as the next reference
  • China CPI later today and the final NZ election tally could materially shift this read
  • A deeper unwind back to the 0.5553 Asian low would put Monday's gap-up at risk

Higher highs and higher lows off the session low, pressing the 0.5600 round number.

Monday opened with a ~26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close on the NZ coalition result. Since the 0.5553 session low, Asia has built a steady higher-high, higher-low chain into 0.5598, now testing the 0.5600 round number with RSI(14) near 77. The rising trendline and the 0.5589 swing low sit directly under price.

Support: 0.5589, 0.5579, 0.5553

Resistance: 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • Rejection at the 0.5600 round number followed by an M15 close below the 0.5589 swing low would break the higher-low chain and the rising trendline
  • Loss of the 0.5579 prior pivot exposes the 0.5553 session low and the open gap toward Friday's levels
  • China CPI later today and the London open could materially shift this read
  • Fed speakers from 13:40 GMT and the Trump–Qatar meeting at 17:00 GMT are USD event risk for the NY session

HH/HL chain off the weekend gap through the Asia session, pressing the session high.

Monday opened with a ~26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close on NZ coalition-majority headlines and a softer USD. Asia has extended it in a steady HH/HL chain from the 0.5553 session low to the 0.5597 session high. RSI(14) near 77 is stretched into the London open, with the 0.5600 round number overhead and the rising trendline at the 0.5589 swing low underneath.

Support: 0.5589, 0.5581, 0.5553

Resistance: 0.5597, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • A clean break of the 0.5597 session high and the 0.5600 round number extends the HH chain into the London open
  • An M15 close below the 0.5589 swing low breaks the rising trendline and exposes the 0.5581 prior shelf near the 38.2% Asia rally fib
  • China CPI later Monday could materially shift this read; the weekend gap stays unfilled while the 0.5553 session low holds

HH/HL chain from 0.5553 Asia low, unfilled weekend gap below.

Monday's Asia session gapped ~26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close on the NZ coalition-majority read and a softer USD. Price held the 0.5553 session low and stepped up in higher lows (pullback low 0.5569, swing low 0.5589) to a 0.5596 session high. It now sits just under the 0.5600 round number with RSI(14) near 74, hot but not extreme.

Resistance: 0.5596, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5600 round number extends the higher-high chain beyond the session high
  • Break of the 0.5589 swing low and the rising trendline breaks the higher-low sequence and exposes the 0.5569 pullback low
  • Loss of the 0.5553 session low would put the unfilled weekend gap toward 0.5539 in play

Asia HH/HL chain above Friday high after gap up.

Monday opened with a gap about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close, clearing the Friday high at 0.5565 and leaving the post-NFP dip to 0.5527 well behind. The slim coalition majority in the NZ election count and a softer USD on lower oil fed the move. Asia session then built a steady HH/HL chain from 0.5553 to a 0.5594 session high, and RSI(14) is cooling from the low 80s, with the 02:15 UTC swing low at 0.5581 underneath.

  • M15 close above the 0.5594 session high puts the 0.5600 round number in play
  • Failure to hold the 0.5581 swing low breaks the HH/HL chain; the fib 50% of the Asia rally sits at 0.5574

Rising trendline support is near 0.5590, with the 0.5584 swing low and the fib 38.2 / 0.5579 pivot below.

HH/HL chain since weekly-open gap-up.

The week opened with a ~26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close as the NZ coalition result trimmed political risk. Asia has since built a clean HH/HL chain off the 0.5553 session low, clearing the 0.5566 Friday high and printing a 0.5594 session high just under the 0.5600 round number. RSI(14) sits near 71 and pullbacks keep holding the rising Asia trendline.

  • M15 close below the Asia trendline and the 0.5581 consol base breaks the HL chain
  • Loss of the 0.5566 Friday high reopens the 0.5553 session low and the unfilled gap toward 0.5539

Weekend gap up, then a higher-high/higher-low chain through Asia.

Asia opened with a ~26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close on relief over the coalition-majority election result. Price held the 0.5553 Asian low and has climbed in a steady HH/HL chain to a 0.5589 session high, ahead of the digest's ~0.5560 read. RSI(14) is near 81, but bar ranges are compressing as price grinds toward the 0.5600 round number.

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 0.5569 swing low puts price back in the 38.2–50% fib zone of the Asian rally
  • Acceptance above the 0.5600 round number would extend the move beyond the 0.5589 session high

HH/HL chain from the weekly-open low, grinding into a new session high.

Kiwi gapped higher at the weekly open on coalition-majority election headlines. The Asia leg has since built a clean HH/HL chain off the 0.5553 asia low to a fresh session high at 0.5587, with RSI(14) near 81. Gains have slowed into a shallow grind above the 0.5581 shelf low, with the 0.5569 swing low near the 38.2% retrace of the Asia leg and Friday's 0.5539 close leaving the gap unfilled.

Support: 0.5581, 0.5569, 0.5553

Resistance: 0.5587, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • 0.5600 round number overhead is the area to watch for rejection or break, and the session high at 0.5587 is the first test
  • M15 close below the 0.5581 shelf low breaks the micro HL sequence and exposes the 0.5569 swing low / 38.2% fib
  • Loss of the 0.5553 asia low puts the unfilled weekend gap toward 0.5539 back in focus
  • China CPI later today could materially shift this read

  • Break of the 0.5600 round number extends the Asia session leg

After a dip to the 0.5553 session low, a steady higher-high/higher-low chain carried price to the 0.5585 session high as the USD gave back part of its post-NFP gains. RSI(14) near 80 marks a stretched leg, and the 0.5600 round number sits 17 pips overhead.

Support: 0.55759, 0.55636, 0.55533

Resistance: 0.55846, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 0.5576 prior high would break the higher-low chain and the rising trendline

Monday's Asia session opened with a ~26-pip gap up from Friday's 0.5539 close, extending the recovery from the post-NFP low near 0.5527.

Gap-up open, higher-low chain off 0.5553 session low.

Monday Asia opened with a ~26-pip gap above the 0.5539 Friday close. Price has since built higher lows from the 0.5553 session low to tag a 0.5576 session high, as the preliminary NZ coalition result tempers Friday's post-NFP USD strength, which had flushed the pair to 0.5527 before it rebounded.

Post-gap bounce, testing session high · RSI 68 · price 0.55649

Asia range 0.5553–0.5567 above unfilled weekend gap.

Monday's Asia session opened with a roughly 26-pip gap above Friday's 0.5539 close, as the NZ election count showed a slim coalition majority. The early dip to the 0.5553 session low formed a higher low at 0.5556, and price is back pressing the 0.5567 session high with RSI(14) near 68. Friday's NFP low at 0.5527 sits well below the gap.

Support: 0.55533, 0.55392, 0.55274

Resistance: 0.5567, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5567 session high breaks the Asian range and opens the 0.5600 round number
  • Loss of the 0.5553 session low and the higher-low trendline puts a gap fill toward the 0.5539 Fri close in play
  • China CPI and the final NZ election count today could materially shift this read

Gap higher at open, short-term higher lows · RSI 70 · price 0.55649

Monday Asia opening range 0.5553–0.5567, price pressing the open high.

NZD gapped about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close at the Asia session open, a relief bid off 19-month lows after the weekend NZ election, with Friday's strong NFP already in the price. Early Asia built a 0.5553–0.5567 opening range with higher lows. Dips held above Friday's post-NFP prior high near 0.5556, and the latest bar pushed back to the open high with RSI(14) near 70.

Support: 0.5556, 0.5553, 0.5539

Resistance: 0.5567, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 0.5567 open high, which also caps Friday's Asia swing, opens the 0.5600 round number
  • Break of the 0.5553 open low and the rising support line puts the gap fill toward Friday close at 0.5539 back in play
  • Failure to hold the 0.5556 prior high on a dip would weaken the higher-low sequence
  • Calendar is empty for the next 8h; Fedspeak from 13:40 UTC and Tuesday's US CPI are the next USD catalysts

Gap higher at the weekly open, early Asia drifting sideways · RSI 66 · price 0.5557

Opening range 0.5553–0.5567 above an unfilled weekend gap.

NZD/USD gapped about 26 pips above Friday's 0.5539 close at the weekly open, even after Friday's strong NFP drove a flush to the 0.5527 nfp low. Early Asia session has rotated between a 0.5553 session low, tested three times, and a 0.5564 swing high under the 0.5567 open high. The gap toward the Friday close is still unfilled, and price sits near the 25% retracement of the nfp low-to-open high move.

Support: 0.5553, 0.5540, 0.5527

Resistance: 0.5564, 0.5567, 0.5600

What it said to watch

  • A break of the 0.5553 session low opens a gap fill toward the 0.5540 Friday close
  • An M15 close above the 0.5567 open high puts the 0.5600 round number in view
  • Loss of 0.5540 would expose the 0.5527 nfp low
  • Fedspeak from 13:40 UTC Mon and US CPI Tue 13:30 UTC could materially shift this read
