AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls keep eye on 38.2% Fibonacci retracement near 84.15

AUD/JPY remains subdued in the Asian session.
Cross seeks support near daily lows at 84.54.
Momentum oscillator caution for directional bet awaits confirmation.

Rekha Chauhan Independent Analyst

The AUD/JPY gave up some of its gains after touching multi-year high at 85.82, having rallied from the lows of 82.28 since March 24. The cross moves in a very narrow trading range and lacks meaningful price action on Friday for the time being.

At the time of writing, AUD/JPY is trading at 84.61, up 0.02% on the day.

AUD/JPY daily chart

On the daily chart, the cross accumulates in the vicinity of the previous day’s closing at 84.60. The formation of the Doji candlestick points at the indecisive market participants at this juncture. If price follows the weekly downward momentum, then the first area of support could be the previous day’s low at 84.29.

The receding Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator looks for the 84.00 horizontal support level next.

The next area of resistance would be April 26 lows at 83.50.

Alternatively, if price reverses, then it could retest the previous day’s high at 84.90 followed by Wednesday’s high of 85.26.

The price action would mark the continuation of the initial uptrend reaching out for the 85.50 horizontal resistance level.

Japanese Yen gains ground as traders await Fed rate decision

The USD/JPY pair loses ground to near 160.25 during the early European trading hours. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision under new Chair Kevin Warsh later on Wednesday.

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7050; looks to Fed for fresh impetus

AUD/USD is consolidating above mid-0.7000s in the Asian session on Wednesday as traders await the outcome of a two-day FOMC meeting due later in the day. In the meantime, the optimism over an interim peace deal between the US and Iran keeps the US Dollar bulls on the defensive. This, along with the RBA's hawkish pause on Tuesday, acts as a tailwind for the pair.

Gold trades with mild negative bias amid some repositioning ahead of Fed rate decision

Gold edges lower during the Asian session, though it holds above the $4,300 mark as bulls opt to lighten their bets ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC policy decision. In the meantime, the commodity remains below the weekly swing high, touched on Monday, and a technically significant 200-day SMA.

DOGE near breakout, SHIB at its ceiling and PEPE leads meme coin recovery

Meme coins are approaching a key technical level, which could determine the next directional bias. Dogecoin struggles to overcome a major resistance level, and Shiba Inu recovery lost momentum near a crucial barrier. Meanwhile, Pepe extends its rally for a sixth straight day, raising the prospects of further upside if momentum persists.

The most important event will be the Fed meeting with Mr. Warsh now in charge

The most important event will be the Fed meeting on Wednesday, with Mr. Warsh now in charge. As more than one analyst points out, the case for holding rates the same is strengthened by the Iran deal and the prospect of the Strait re-opening, although nobody thinks Warsh can marshal enough doves to do a cut this time.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
