The Australian Dollar (AUD) snapped three days of losses against the Japanese Yen (JPY). A bullish engulfing candle pattern emerged after the pair tumbled to a new weekly low of 97.23, but buyers lifted the cross toward current exchange rates of 97.89, as the pair registered solid gains of 0.49%.
Even though the pair enjoyed a pullback that lasted three days, the pair is resuming its ongoing uptrend, but buyers need to achieve a daily close above 98.00 to remain hopeful of pushing prices higher.
If that outcome, the pair's first resistance would be the November 30 high at 98.10, followed by the November 24 swing high at 98.54. once the AUD/JPY surpasses that level, the year-to-date (YTD) high is up next at 98.58, ahead of the 99.00 figure.
On the flip side, the AUD/JPY first support would be the Tenkan-Sen at 97.68 ahead of dropping to the Senkou Span A at 97.15. Once cleared, the next floor would be 97.00, followed by the Kijun-Sen at 96.62.
