AUD/JPY edged lower on Tuesday ahead of the Asian session, retreating below 95.00 after hitting resistance near the 96.00 zone. Despite the pullback, the pair still holds above its 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), keeping the broader trend tilted to the upside.

Technically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has declined sharply but remains in positive territory at 54. A drop below the 50 mark could signal a potential shift in sentiment. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continues to print rising green bars, suggesting that bullish momentum remains in place for now.

Looking ahead, immediate support lies at the 20-day SMA, while stronger demand may emerge near 94.50. On the upside, resistance is seen around 96.00, where sellers have consistently capped gains. If the pair manages to reclaim this level, further upside toward 97.00 could be in play.
