In Wednesday's session, the AUD/JPY pair is trading at 99.58, following an increase of 0.82%. Buyers appear in control, but indicators are flashing signals of a short-term consolidation.
On the daily chart, the AUD/JPY pair reveals a bullish sentiment.

Upon inspecting the hourly chart, the RSI readings consistently hover in the overbought zone, with the latest entry at 78 but the index has started to edge downwards. A flat green histogram on the MACD also gives arguments for a short-term consolidation.

Considering the broader outlook, the pair also stands above the 20,100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). This setup suggests short-term and long-term trends are bullish, and traders may expect further upside.
In conclusion, both daily and hourly charts for the AUD/JPY pair highlight a bullish outlook. The RSI values and the MACD histograms across both timelines point to strong upward movement, with buyers currently holding market reins. However, indicators on the hourly chart point to further consolidation as they lie deep in the overbought zone.
