- Downside potential targets include the bottom of the Ichimoku Cloud at 93.45 and the 93.00 psychological level.

The AUD/JPY retraces from weekly highs reached during Tuesday’s session at around 94.86, prolonging its losses after cracking a five-month-old upslope support trendline that intersects with the 94.00 mark. At the time of writing, the AUD/JPY is trading at 93.93, down by a minimal 0.01%.
AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The daily chart portrays the AUD/JPY pair as subdued, capped on the downside by the Tenkan and Kijun-Sen lines at 93.92 and 93.82. If AUD/JPY slides past that area, the next support will emerge at the bottom of the Ichimoky Cloud (Kumo) at 93.45 before challenging 93.00.
Conversely, if AUD/JPY buyers reclaim the 94.00 figure, the first resistance would be the August 15 high of 94.86 ahead of testing the top of the Kumo at around 95.00/05. Once cleared, the next resistance would emerge at 95.83, the July 31 daily high.
