In Monday's session, the AUD/JPY pair managed to acquire supplementary momentum and saw some gains. Despite the strength of the buying momentum, the market may be heading for a correction since the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) hint at overbought levels. Ahead of the Asian session, with the pair nearing cyclical peaks, an incoming pullback for the cross may be on the horizon.
Examining the daily chart, the RSI is near the overbought territory. A gradual decrease from overbought conditions is evident while maintaining a positive trend, indicating buyers' dominance but hinting at a potential flattening. In line with that, the MACD shows a negative momentum as red bars are seen.
