Friday (5.15): Major break lower, 0.7220→0.7137, close 0.7148 (-1.00%); strong dollar + risk sentiment retreat, large intraday drop, weekly close in the red (-1.3%)
Overall: Initially oscillated at high levels, then broke down sharply. The first four days saw tug-of-war in the 0.7200–0.7270 range, on Friday breaking below 0.7200/0.7150, shifting from consolidation to a weak correction.

Bollinger Bands (4H): Opening downward, price moving along lower band, bearish channel established.

3. Key Support & Resistance Levels (AUD/USD)
Resistance (Rebound Resistance)
0.7200: Breakout level on Friday, strong short-term resistance.
0.7250–0.7270: This week’s consolidation center + high point, strong resistance zone.
0.7300: Psychological level + previous platform, significant psychological resistance.
Support (Downside Defense)
0.7130–0.7100: Friday’s low + psychological level, strong short-term support.
0.7050: Previous consolidation zone, important support.
0.7000: Mid-term psychological level, lifeline for bulls.
4. Core Drivers
1. US inflation exceeding expectations, strong dollar (main reason)
2. April CPI at 3.8%, above forecast; Fed rate cut expectations delayed to after December; US Treasury yields soared, dollar index rebounded to 99.19, directly pressuring AUD.
3. Risk sentiment retreat, commodity currencies under pressure
4. Global stock market volatility, industrial metals weakening, iron ore correction, reducing AUD’s commodity support.
5. Australian interest rate advantage weakening
6. RBA maintaining 4.35% high rate, but rate hike expectations cooling, unable to offset dollar strength + rising US Treasury yields.
7. Middle East geopolitical tensions (indirect bearish factor)
8. Escalating tensions pushing oil prices higher, boosting inflation expectations + Fed hawkish stance, safe-haven funds flowing into USD, indirectly suppressing AUD.
5. Market Outlook (Short-term 1–2 weeks)
Trend Judgment
Short-term weak correction, medium-term sideways with a bearish bias. USD strength + risk sentiment cooling dominate short-term trend, AUD likely to oscillate at lows with limited rebound potential.
Three Scenarios
1. Bearish (base case): USD continues to strengthen + risk sentiment remains subdued → test 0.7100→0.7050.
2. Neutral consolidation: Fluctuate within 0.7100–0.7200, awaiting new guidance from Fed / RBA.
3. Slight bullish (low probability): US data weakens + commodities rebound → stabilize and rebound, back above 0.7250.
Trading Strategy
Main approach: Rebound then short at resistance: 0.7180–0.7200, staggered short entries, stop-loss above 0.7250.
Cautious long at lows: Support at 0.7050–0.7100, consider light long positions if stabilized, stop-loss below 0.7000.
Range trading: Buy low at 0.7100–0.7200, sell high, breakouts follow the trend.
