AUD/JPY daily chart
The AUD/JPY pair is currently trading below its 20,100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), which confirms an overall bearish outlook. A break below the 94.60 level could open the door to a further decline, with the next major support level at 94.00. On the upside, the pair faces resistance at 96.00 - 96.50. A break above might improve somewhat the negative outlook.
