AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Hovers around 93.80-94.40 area, trendless despite the upbeat mood

The AUD/JPY finished Wednesday’s session almost flat, forming a quasi dragonfly-doji, meaning that neither buyers/sellers dominated the trading session amidst a risk-on impulse. Factors like lower-than-expected US inflation and tempering tensions between China-Taiwan improved risk appetite. At the time of writing, the AUD/JPY is trading at 94.05, down 0.02%, as the Asian session begins.

AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The AUD/JPY daily char chart illustrates the pair as neutral bias, with the 20 and 50-day EMAs meandering around the exchange rate, a reason to think that consolidation lies ahead. Further confirming the aforementioned, Wednesday’s price action printing a dragonfly-doji, indecision amongst AUD/JPY traders.

Switching towards a short-term picture, the AUD/JPY has been seesawing for the last couple of days, within the 93.80-94.40 area, with some candles breaching the aforementioned levels. Still, the price has returned to its “mean reversion” area.

Upwards, the AUD/JPY’s first resistance would be the August 10 high at 94.30. Once cleared, the next supply zone will be the weekly high at 94.43, followed by the psychologically 95.00 area. On the other hand, the AUD/JPY first support will be the 94.00 area. A breach of the latter will send the cross towards the 100-hour EMA at 93.72 (tested on August 10), followed by the August 10 daily low at 93.47.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold clings to gains as US-Iran conflict continues to underpin safe-haven assets

Gold retains positive bias for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to underpin safe-haven assets. However, a bullish US Dollar could keep the bullion below its highest level since late January, set on Monday, warranting caution before positioning for any further appreciation.
