Updated · live dataAUD/USD technical analysis today — 1H, 4H and daily
The gauges below aggregate 26 indicators (moving averages, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ADX, Ichimoku, CCI, Williams %R and more) into a single Buy / Neutral / Sell reading for the 1-hour, 4-hour and daily charts. They update continuously, so this page always shows the current technical picture for AUD/USD rather than a snapshot written this morning. Use the tabs inside each gauge to check 15-minute and weekly readings.
AUD/USD key levels today
Our key-level framework for AUD/USD uses four inputs: (1) yesterday's high, low and close, (2) the daily and weekly pivot points, (3) the nearest round numbers and (4) the 20/50/200-period EMAs on the 4H chart. Where two or more of these coincide, you have a confluence level — the levels that matter most for intraday trading. Read yesterday's high, low and close from the live chart above and plug them into the calculator to get today's pivot, support and resistance grid.

How to use this AUD/USD analysis
- Establish bias on the daily and 4H gauges. Only trade in the direction both agree on, or stay flat.
- Mark levels: today's pivot, R1/S1, yesterday's high/low and the nearest round number.
- Time the entry on the 1H or 15-minute chart at a level, ideally during the Sydney/Tokyo session and the US open.
- Size the trade with the position size calculator so a stop beyond the level risks no more than 1–2% of your account.
- Check the calendar — never hold a tight intraday stop through a red-flag release.
