AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Hovering above a key support area

Guillermo Alcala FXStreet

AUD/JPY has reached a key support area at 90.20/40.
The activation of potential H&S formation might send the pair to 84.00 or lower.

The Australian dollar has been going through a steady downward trend against the Japanese yen over the last weeks, weighed by the negative market sentiment.

The Aussie dollar has now reached an important support area at 91.29/40 area, which contained bears in late May and early June and also prompted the recovery from the August 2 low.

In this case, the mentioned area corresponds with the neckline of a potential Head & Shoulders figure (as shown in the following daily chart), which might send the pair down to the 84.00 area.

On the upside, a successful breach of the 94.60 resistance area (October 4,6 highs) would ease downside pressure and probably increase bullish momentum to aim for 96.45 (September 20, 22 highs) before retesting September’s peak at 98.60.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano steadies as whale selling caps recovery

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA. However, the technical outlook suggests bearish momentum is weakening, raising the possibility of a short-term relief rebound if buying interest picks up.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively.
