AUD/JPY surged on Monday ahead of the Asian session, gaining traction and trading near the 95.30 zone after a strong bullish advance. Buyers took control, pushing the pair beyond the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), signaling a shift in momentum that could sustain further gains in the near term.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending higher in positive territory, reflecting the renewed strength of buyers, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is printing rising green bars, reinforcing the improving outlook. The bullish crossover in momentum indicators suggests that the pair could maintain its upward trajectory.
Looking ahead, immediate resistance is seen at 95.50, with a breakout above this level paving the way toward 96.00. On the downside, initial support lies near 94.50, followed by a stronger floor around 94.00. As long as the pair holds above the 20-day SMA, the short-term outlook remains constructive for bulls.
