AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Edges higher with eyes set on 94.00 as bullish harami emerges

  • AUD/JPY breaks above 92.89, confirming bullish harami and signaling short-term upside momentum.
  • Next resistance at 93.86; sustained rally needs break above May 13 high of 95.63 to shift broader trend.
  • Drop below 92.00 would negate bullish outlook, targeting support near Senkou Span B at 90.83.

The AUD/JPY opens Wednesday’s Asian session with a positive mood, posting gains of over 0.08% at the time of writing. The cross-pair appears poised to extend the ongoing leg up, testing the May 29 daily high of 93.86.

AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook

After posting back-to-back bearish sessions last week, the AUD/JPY formed a ‘bullish harami’, which was confirmed on Tuesday when the pair cleared the May 30 high of 92.89.

Although this suggests a trend reversal is underway, a change of the ongoing downtrend is far. The AUD/JPY must clear the May 13 high of 95.63 to shift the bias to neutral, as price action needs to confirm a reversal, printing successive series of higher highs and lows.

Conversely, if AUD/JPY tumbles below the May 30 low of 92.00, a fall toward the Senkou Span B at 90.83 is on the cards.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
