PLAN THE WEEK AHEAD

AUD/USD weekly outlook

Conditional scenarios
RULES-BASED WEEKLY OUTLOOK November 2, 2026–November 6, 2026

AUD/USD closes below its 20-day average

The latest completed daily close is 0.6931, versus a 20-observation moving average of 0.6996. The prior completed week traded between 0.7012 and 0.7068. This describes observed price behaviour, not a prediction.

Range scenario

While price remains between 0.7004 and 0.7059, watch how it behaves around the weekly pivot at 0.7036.

Stronger Australian dollar scenario

A sustained break above 0.7059 would favour the upside scenario. Returning below the pivot would weaken it.

Stronger US dollar scenario

A sustained break below 0.7004 would favour the downside scenario. Recovering above the pivot would weaken it.

Policy event to monitor: RBA’s next scheduled decision is December 8, 2026. A schedule does not predict the decision or the currency reaction.

Recalculates with source updates. Trend is above/below the 20-day average using a 0.1% neutral band. Pivot = (prior-week high + low + final close) ÷ 3; S1 = 2 × pivot − high; R1 = 2 × pivot − low. In-progress daily candles are excluded. These are conditional technical scenarios, not an editorial forecast or guaranteed targets.

WEEKLY SUPPORT · S10.7004

If AUD/USD breaks lower

A sustained move below the calculated weekly pivot support would point to a weaker Australian dollar. Watch whether the next daily observation confirms the move.

WEEKLY PIVOT · P0.7036

While the pair stays in range

Movement around the pivot suggests consolidation. Upcoming policy news and economic releases can help determine the next direction.

WEEKLY RESISTANCE · R10.7059

If AUD/USD breaks higher

A sustained move above the calculated weekly pivot resistance would point to a stronger Australian dollar. Watch for follow-through rather than relying on one quote.

Based on completed daily OHLC candles from October 26, 2026–October 30, 2026 (5 sessions). Pivot calculations are derived indicators, not guaranteed turning points.
