AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The daily chart depicts the pair as neutral to upward based, capped on the upside by the September 5 swing high of 94.71. If the pair breaks that level, the next resistance would be the 95.00 figure, followed by the July 25 swing high at 95.85. On the downside, the AUD/JPY finds support at the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) at 94.20. A breach of the latter, the pair could edge toward the September 8 low of 93.58 before dropping toward the August 18 low of 92.78.
The AUD/JPY hourly chart depicts the pair consolidating around the weekly highs. Although buyers are in charge, they would need a decisive break of the September 4 high at 94.52, followed by the August 31 high at 94.93, before testing 95.00. On the downside, the pair’s first support would be the Tenkan-Sen at 94.48; once cleared, the next support would be the Kijun-Sen at 94.30, followed by the psychological 94.00 figure.
