AUD/JPY Price Analysis: Soars to 1 ½ month high; is 96.00 on the horizon?

AUD/JPY rallies to 95.64, its highest level in one-and-a-half months, buoyed by RBA’s latest monetary policy minutes.
Following resistance levels in sight: July 25 swing high at 95.85 and the psychological 96.00 mark.
Downside risks remain, with key support levels at the Ichimoku Cloud top at 94.74 and the Tenkan-Sen line at 94.60.

The AUD/JPY printed solid gains on Tuesday, and as Wednesday’s Asian session begins, the cross-currency pair hovers around 95.39 after touching a new one-and-a-half-month high at 95.64.

The AUD/JPY daily chart portrays the pair as neutral to upward biased. Even though it formed a ‘bearish-harami’ until yesterday, the cross-currency pair extended its gains due to fundamental news, such as the latest Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monetary policy minutes. Discussions amongst the RBA members kept the door open for additional tightening and sparked Tuesday’s rally.

Hence, the AUD/JPY extended its gains and is set to test the July 25 swing high at 95.85. A breach of the latter would expose the 96.00 mark, followed by last year’s high at 97.67. Conversely, if the cross retreats below 95.00, the next support would emerge at the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) at 94.74, followed by the Tenkan-Sen line at 94.60, and followed by the Kijun-Sen at 94.21.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

GBP/USD trims losses, retests 1.3460

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The move higher continues to draw support from lingering geopolitical tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, both of which are keeping safe-haven demand firmly in play.
