AUD/JPY Price Analysis: 50-DMA probes bulls around three-week top

AUD/JPY snaps two-day uptrend, refreshes intraday low of late.
Sustained break of three-month-old resistance, now support, joins bullish MACD to favor buyers.
Bears need to break eight-day-old support line to retake controls.

AUD/JPY takes offers around 80.95, down 0.06% intraday, marking the first daily loss in three during early Thursday.

The Aussie cross rose to the highest since early August the previous day while extending the upside break of a descending trend line from June amid bullish MACD signals.

However, failures to the 50-DMA hurdle, around 81.25, trigger the latest pullback moves.

It’s worth noting that the AUD/JPY sellers remain cautious until the prices stay above an ascending support line from August 20 and a bit broader resistance-turned-support line, respectively near 80.60 and 80.30. Also challenging the pair bears is the 80.00 threshold.

Hence, the pair buyers have an upper hand and can cross the immediate hurdle, namely 50-DMA level of 81.25 to aim for a cross of the last month’s top surrounding 81.60.

Following that, June’s low near 82.15 will lure the AUD/JPY bulls.

Overall, AUD/JPY remains in the recovery mode and the latest pullback can be termed as consolidation.

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
