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.

AUD/USD extends the range play above 0.7200 as traders await US inflation data

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price move above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Thursday amid mixed cues. Rising RBA rate-hike bets keep the Aussie close to its highest level since May 14. However, hawkish Fed expectations and escalating US-Iran tensions offer some support to the US Dollar, capping the currency pair as traders await US inflation figures.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains stuck between two key averages ahead of the US inflation test

Gold is building on the previous recovery from one-week lows near $4,350 early Thursday, stretching beyond $4,400. Gold buyers now look forward to the US Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index data due Thursday and Friday, respectively, for a sustained turnaround.

XRP rally cools, XLM heads toward a make-or-break support
Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) trade under pressure on Thursday after losing over 2% and 3% so far this week. XRP and XLM are both nearing their crucial support zones, which could determine the next directional move. Meanwhile, mixed derivatives and on-chain data suggest upside potential remains limited for both altcoins. CryptoQuant’s summary data shows cautious signs for both altcoins.
Jobs opened the door for the Fed — inflation decides whether it walks through

The latest US jobs report did not end the debate over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. It may have done something more subtle: it gave policymakers permission to keep their options open. After months of softer labour market signals, August delivered a stronger-than-expected rebound.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
