AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Advances towards 81.00 as bulls await Aussie GDP

AUD/JPY remains on the front foot around two-week top.
Sustained trading above 20-DMA, 12-week-old falling trend line keeps buyers hopeful.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

AUD/JPY stays firmer around 80.50 during Wednesday’s Asian session. The cross-currency pair jumped to the highest since mid-August the previous day while crossing a downward sloping resistance line, now support, from June 11.

In addition to the trend line breakout, the pair’s successful trading above 20-DMA and upbeat Momentum line also favor AUD/JPY buyers.

That said, the latest breakout aims for 50% Fibonacci retracement of June–August downside, around 81.50.

However, tops marked during late July and August, around 81.60–65, challenge the AUD/JPY bulls afterward.

Meanwhile, a downside break of the previous resistance line near 80.35 could retest 20-DMA level near 80.15 whereas the 80.00 psychological magnet can add to the immediate downside filters.

Should AUD/JPY remains bearish past 80.00, the last month’s low, also the yearly bottom surrounding 77.90, will gain the market’s attention.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Apart from this, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.
