AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls eye 91.70 while above 90.70

AUD/JPY bulls are in play and we could see an advance on 91.70 in the coming sessions/days ahead.
The 61.8% Fibonacci near 93.00 is key on the upside.

AUD/JPY is displaying a bullish bias on the daily charts, at least for the meanwhile considering it recently broke to the backside of a prior meanwhile bearish trendline resistance.

The price is now meeting support in a phase of price discovery whereby the bears have been unable to convincingly break out of the bull's defensive lines and it has been a buy-the-dip theme for a number of days.

The following illustrates that should the bulls commit harder, then a break out to the upside could unfold over the comings days ahead:

AUD/JPY monthly and daily charts

As illustrated, while the bearish attempts at a break of 88.00 have resulted in a surge in demand, until the bulls conquer 93.00, a 61.8% Fibo resistance, there will be prospects of a deeper correction to the downside.

Zoomed in ...

However, the cluster of failed bearish breakouts does keep the bulls in play and we could see an advance on 91.70 in the coming sessions/days ahead. A breakout there will leave the key 93.00 area vulnerable to another test.

Gold holds above $5,000 as bears seem hesitant amid Fed rate cut bets

Gold edges lower at the start of a new week, though it defends the $5,000 psychological mark through the Asian session. The underlying bullish sentiment is seen acting as a headwind for the bullion. However, bets for more rate cuts by the Fed, bolstered by Friday's softer US CPI, keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and continue to support the non-yielding yellow metal as the focus now shifts to FOMC Minutes on Wednesday.

The US jobs report for January, which was delayed slightly, didn’t do the dovish Fed bets any favours, as expectations of a soft print did not materialize, confounding the raft of weak job indicators seen in the prior week.
