AUD/JPY Technical Analysis: Bull breakout

  • The hourly chart shows a bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) and falling wedge breakout.
  • The pair has also moved above the rising trendline hurdle and the confluence of the 50-hour and 100-hour moving averages. So, it seems safe to say the pullback from the recent high of 81.49 has ended and the bulls have taken over.
  • The AUD/JPY looks set to test the immediate resistance at 8.37 and 81.49.
  • On the downside, a move below 80.57 would shift risk in favor of a drop to 80.00 (psychological support).
