AUD/JPY Technical Levels
A break above 80.17 (200-DMA + weekly classic pivot R1) would open doors for 81.51 (July 15 high) and 82.00 (zero figure) levels. On the lower side, Asian session low of 79.58 could offer support which if breached would shift risk in favour of a cut through 79.29 (5-DMA) and drop to 79.00 levels.
