The AUD/JPY pair extended its decline on Friday, hovering near the 94.30 zone after the European session and slipping closer to the lower end of its intraday range. The pair is down notably on the day, reflecting an increase in selling interest. While some momentum indicators remain neutral or even slightly constructive, broader technical signals continue to favor a bearish bias for the near term.

Looking at the indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below 50, yet neutral in tone, while the MACD posts a slight buy signal , hinting at possible short-term correction. However, the Bull Bear Power stands at 0.641, reinforcing the underlying selling pressure, and the Williams Percent Range remains neutral, failing to offer a clear reversal signal.

Moving averages present a split picture. The short-term 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 94.02 continues to signal a buy, offering dynamic support. However, the 10-day EMA (94.45) and SMA (94.58), along with the 100-day (96.85) and 200-day (98.70) SMAs, all lean bearish, suggesting that upside potential remains capped unless a structural shift occurs.

In terms of levels, immediate support emerges at 94.16, followed by 94.02 and 93.88. On the flip side, resistance is seen around 94.35, 94.42, and 94.45—just ahead of key short-term moving averages that could act as selling zones if bulls attempt to regain control.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?
