AUD/JPY Daily chart
The AUD/JPY depicts the pair as neutral-to-upward biased due to the location of the daily EMAs below the exchange rate. However, its neutral status is derived by price action in consolidation, alongside the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which tumbled from overbought territory towards the 50-midline, faltering to aim higher.
Therefore, the AUD/JPY’s first resistance would be July 18, high at 94.68. Break above will expose the 95.00 mark, followed by the June 21 high at 95.32, which once cleared will expose the YTD high at 96.88
Conversely, the AUD/JPY first support would be 94.00. A breach of the latter will send the cross sliding towards the 20-day EMA at 93.35, followed by the confluence of an upslope trendline and the 50-day EMA near 92.74.
