AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Hovers around new four-day high, remains subdued

  • AUD/JPY reaches a new four-day high at 95.37, trading at 95.22 as the Asian session begins.
  • The pair remains neutral-biased, tilted to the upside, with potential resistance at October 12 high 95.83.
  • Sellers must clear the 94.96/85 area and the top of the Kumo at 94.65 to shift momentum downwards.

The AUD/JPY reached a new four-day high at 95.37 on Tuesday, registering solid gains of 0.46%. However, as Wednesday’s Asian session begins, the cross-pair exchanges hands at 95..22, down a minimal 0.04%.

The daily chart portrays the pair as neutral-biased, tilted to the upside due to remaining above the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo), which has narrowed, as the AUD/JPY is trendless. For a bullish continuation, buyers must reclaim the October 12 high at 95.83, followed by the latest cycle high at 96.92.

On the flip side, AUD/JPY sellers would need to clear the 94.96/85 area, where the Kijun and Tenkan-Sen levels lie, followed by the top of the Kumo at 94.65. A breach of the latter and the cross would slip inside the cloud, with the following support seen at the bottom of the Kumo at 94.00, followed by the October 3 low of 93.01.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP bulls defend $1.20 as sell-side pressure triggers liquidations
Ripple (XRP) trades around $1.25 on Friday, rising from a short-term support level established at $1.20. This minor upward correction follows a sharp sell-off, triggered amid reports of a hack attack on the Binance exchange that impacted approximately $6.3 billion.

BoJ recap: A pause for now... but Japan has entered a new inflation phase
The Bank of Japan left its short-term policy rate unchanged at 1.25% but delivered a distinctly hawkish message on the risk of an inflation overshoot. The decision passed by 8-1, with board member Takata dissenting in favour of an increase to 1.5%, while Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed that the Bank would continue adjusting policy as needed.
The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions
The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
