AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls steer the market towards 101.00, its highest since 2014

  • The daily RSI of the AUD/JPY continues its uphill journey, nearing overbought territory, amplifying buying traction.
  • Hourly indicators are also strong, with no signs of bears.
  • A healthy correction shouldn't be ruled out.

The AUD/JPY market showcases an increasingly bullish trend. The cross stabilized at 100.89 on Wednesday, after rallying to a high at 101.12, its highest since 2014. The general market interest leans towards the buyers as the pair follows an upward trend and surpasses significant levels. However, as the pair gained nearly 1.50% in the last sessions, the cross might be poised for a correction.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of the AUD/JPY pair continues its upward trajectory nearing overbought territory. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also supports the buyers, as it prints a fresh green bar.

Switching the focus to the hourly chart, the hourly Relative Strength Index (RSI) displays a generally increasing trend, pointing toward positive short-term momentum. In addition, the MACD portrays decreasing red bars, denoting the declining momentum of the sellers in the short-term trading hours.

AUD/JPY hourly chart

In the broader outlook, the AUD/JPY indicates a bullish trend, given its current position above the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). SMAs serve as technical indicators for analyzing price trends by smoothing out price fluctuations. The pair's stance above all three SMAs suggests a strong stance from the bull in the short and long-term perspectives. In addition, the pair rallying to multi-year highs suggests that the bulls are clearly in command, but traders shouldn't be ruled out as indicators might run out of steam.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.
Why hawkish Bank of Japan expectations aren't enough to sustain the Japanese Yen rally

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
