AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
On Thursday, the AUD/JPY pair seesawed between 83.30-50s area, followed by a climb towards the daily high around 83.77, collapsing afterward, near the 83.00 figure. Despite the abovementioned, the pair is neutral-bullish, as the daily moving averages (DMAs) reside below the spot price.
That said, the AUD/JPY first demand zone is the 83.00 figure. A breach of the latter would expose the 200-DMAT at 82.65, followed by the confluence of the 50 and the 100-DMA at 82.35, and then the 82.00 figure.
To the upside, the AUD/JPY first resistance would be the January 10 daily high at 83.36. A clear break above it would expose a four-month-old downslope trendline drawn, from October 2021 highs, near the psychological 84.00 area.
