AUD/JPY toggling the flat line in the battle of weak currencies; upside target remains 94.21
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - One of the historically looked-to gauges for risk in the global markets, the Aussie Dollar / Japanese Yen cross (AUD/JPY) appears to be on a track to the upside, but the action over the last few days has been less than convincing.
AUD/JPY traders only have a few data points to provide guidance this week
In what appears to be a contest to who can weaken their currencies the fastest, the AUD/JPY is seemingly suspended in mid air temporarily awaiting more direction from data flow. Unfortunately, this week’s flow will be very light with Japan taking the week off.
This week’s schedule includes:
• Monday – Nothing
• Tuesday – Aussie Private Sector Credit
• Wednesday – New Years Day holiday
• Thursday – Aussie Performance of Manufacturing Index
• Friday – Nothing
Technical outlook for AUD/JPY
Technicians say the AUD/JPY has support at 91.61 (the low from last Thursday) and is followed up by last Wednesday’s low at 91.05. Resistance comes in at the 12/10 high of 94.21 and is followed up by the 11/20 high at 94.60.
