AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Bulls testing a firm hourly resistance
|- AUD/JPY are testing a critical level of resistance in the highs on the hourly chart.
- Despite covid risks, AUD is firm in the opening session at daily support vs the greenback.
AUD/JPY is holding up at the start of the week following turbulent time over the remaining sessions of last week pertaining to the spike in risk-off as a consequence of the new coronavirus variant that is potentially resistant to current vaccines.
The Aussie took a battering last week on the back of both a hawkish set of Fed minutes and the worries of the implications of coronavirus within thin market conditions around the US Thanksgiving holidays. AUD/USD fell to a long-term support zone near 0.7110 and the yen benefitted from the risk-off flows sending AUD/JPY to the lowest levels since October. However, we are seeing a correction in the moves across the forex space and the cross is higher by some 0.67% so far.
