AUDUSD Daily Analysis 29th May 2026 — OB Re-Entry, Short Still Live
News context: With commodity currency sentiment and broader dollar direction driving the market, AUDUSD remains a useful pair for tracking risk-sensitive flows.
AUDUSD Daily Analysis 29th May 2026: Thursday got within 18 pips of the SSL target at 0.70796 and reversed. Today opens at 0.71644 — back inside the bearish OB zone at 0.71521–0.71845. This is not a breakout. This is a re-entry into the institutional sell zone. The short thesis is alive.
Thursday — Close But Not Close Enough
The AUDUSD OB re-entry 0.71521 bearish Friday 29 May 2026 tells you the structure. Price bounced from 0.70979, failed to take 0.70796, and is now parked back inside the bearish OB. That OB zone has been resistance since early May. Every entry here has been a sell signal.
- Daily Bias — Cautious Bearish — OB re-entry at open
- Bearish OB zone — 0.71521–0.71845 — open inside this zone
- Today open — 0.71644 — inside OB
- Thursday low — 0.70979 — 18 pips from SSL target
- SSL target — 0.70796 — primary weekly objective
- Stop — 0.71845 — above OB zone
ICT/SMC Framework
The weekly structure remains bearish from the late April distribution high above 0.72000. This weeks low at 0.70979 is the closest approach to the 0.70796 SSL target yet. The pattern is a slow grind lower — each bounce gets sold inside the OB.
The Aussie dollar SSL target 0.70796 short setup 29 May 2026: the 0.70796 level marks the prior weekly low — a pool of sell-side liquidity that institutional order flow is targeting. Until price sweeps that level and closes back above 0.70979, the bias stays bearish on every bounce into the OB.
Todays open at 0.71644 is deep inside the OB zone. If price rejects from here without breaking the OB top at 0.71845, the short is valid. The 4H is making lower highs from 0.72000 through 0.71845 through this weeks bounce highs. Bearish structure on every timeframe.
| Level | Zone | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 0.71845 | OB top | Stop level — above this = OB broken |
| 0.71644 | Today open | Inside OB — sell zone |
| 0.71521 | OB base | Lower edge of bearish OB |
| 0.70979 | Thursdays low | 18 pips from target |
| 0.70796 | SSL target | Primary objective — weekly liquidity |
| 0.70600 | Extension | Next weekly SSL if 0.70796 breaks |
PCE Risk — The Squeeze Scenario
The AUDUSD ICT bearish OB rejection 29 May 2026: the risk to the short is a soft PCE print at 13:30 GMT. Dollar weakness on soft data would push AUD higher — potentially through the OB to 0.71845 or above. That is the exit level for the short, not a reversal of bias.
If price squeezes to 0.71845 on soft PCE and then rejects, that is the best short entry of the week — OB top with a confirmed rejection candle, stop above 0.71900, target 0.70796. R:R above 4:1. Patience pays on this one.
- 13:30 GMT — US Core PCE — soft = AUD squeeze to OB top; hot = AUD lower
- Squeeze level — 0.71845 — OB top; if hit, it is a sell not a long
- Primary setup — Short from OB zone, stop 0.71845, target 0.70796
The Trade Plan
Bias is bearish. Open inside the OB. Short from 0.71521–0.71845, stop 0.71900, target 0.70796. R:R from current levels is approximately 3:1.
The AUD USD price forecast 29 May 2026: the 0.70796 SSL target has been in play all week. Thursday got within 18 pips. The market does not forget these levels. The Aussie dollar is going to 0.70796 — the only question is whether it takes one more day or another week to get there.
Eighteen pips. That was Thursdays miss. The market has a long memory and a short fuse. Stay short inside the OB. Keep the stop above 0.71845.
