AUD/JPY Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The AUD/JPY downtrend remains in play despite the ongoing leg-up that saw the Aussie strengthen above the 97.00 figure. Momentum favors sellers, though in the short term, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is aiming below its neutral line, indicating buyers are stepping in.
Nevertheless, the August 12 price action formed a ‘shooting star’, usually a bearish candle followed by a daily close below the low of 96.15, which could pave the way for further losses.
In that outcome, the AUD/JPY first support would be the 96.00 psychological mark, ahead of the 95.00 figure. Further losses lie beneath the Tenkan Sen at 94.43.
Conversely, if AUD/JPY climbs past 97.85, buyers could challenge the 98.00 mark. Further gains are seen above the confluence of the Kijun-Sen and Senkou Span B at 98.74.
