On Thursday, the AUD/JPY reached a fresh YTD high at 97.49 before tumbling towards the daily low at 96.63. However, late in the North American session, AUD/JPY buyers pushed the pair above the 97.00 thresholds, finishing Thursday’s session at 97.27.
AUD/JPY traders should be aware that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) turned flat, at 68.88, before entering overbought conditions, flashing signs of negative divergence between RSI and AUD/JPY price action.
