AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: teasing bull breakout as tensions thaw


  • Improved risk appetite due to increased odds of US-China trade deal continues to bode well for the Aussie dollar.
  • At press time, the AUD/JPY is probing the upper edge of the falling channel on the hourly chart. A breakout, if confirmed, would signal a continuation of the recovery rally from the Dec. 9 low of 80.72 and could yield a rally to 82.11 (200-hour moving average).
  • The 50-hour MA is holding above the 100-hour MA, meaning the path of least resistance is to the higher side.
  • The bullish case would weaken if the pair finds acceptance below the support at 81.62.
