1. AUDUSD Daily Outlook May 11, 2026 — Aussie Dollar Pushes to 0.7260 in Strong Monday Session
News context: With commodity currency sentiment and broader dollar direction driving the market, AUDUSD remains a useful pair for tracking risk-sensitive flows.
The AUDUSD daily outlook for May 11, 2026 is bullish. The Australian Dollar has opened the new week at 0.72233 and rallied to a session high of 0.72596, currently trading at 0.72538 — a 30-pip gain from the open. Today’s move continues the 6-week AUDUSD uptrend that has taken the pair from 0.68334 to last week’s high of 0.72777. Monday’s high of 0.72596 is approaching last week’s closing level of 0.72473, and the AUDUSD price forecast for May 11, 2026 sees a test of the 0.72777 weekly high during the NY session as the primary target.

This is the standard ICT daily template for bullish days: sweep the SSL (sell-side liquidity) at the Asian low, then markup to BSL (buy-side liquidity) above. The 0.72777 BSL target from last week remains the primary intraday and daily target.
