AUD/JPY extended its decline on Wednesday ahead of the Asian session, slipping toward the 94.50 area after a second consecutive day in the red. The retreat comes after the pair struggled to maintain momentum above recent highs, suggesting a cooling of bullish sentiment.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is declining, now hovering near the neutral 50 mark. A move below this threshold could indicate growing bearish pressure. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is printing flat green bars, signaling waning upside momentum.

The immediate support level is located at the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near 94.00, a key level that, if breached, could open the door for further declines. Below that, additional support lies at 93.50. On the upside, resistance is seen at 95.00, followed by a more significant barrier near 96.00.
