AUD/JPY chart on Trading View used for analysis
- AUD/JPY remains on a strong bear trend, Aussie bears stay firmly in the drivers’ seat.
- Aussie dented by dismal Australia retail sales reading. Australia retail sales growth stalled m/m in August, missing forecasts at 0.3 percent.
- Escalating tensions with China over ban Huawei mobile phones to add to the downside pressure.
- Souring risk sentiment in the emerging markets and commodity space will further exacerbate the Aussies declines.
- Technical indicators on daily charts are bearish. Stochs and RSI biased lower and MACD shows bearish crossover on signal line.
- AUD/JPY has broken below 80 mark, and is currently holding minor trendline support at 79.50.
- Break below will drag the pair lower. Test of 61.8% Fib at 79.26 then likely.
- On the flipside, 50-DMA is major resistance, we see upside only on break above.
Support levels - 79.50 (Trendline support), 79.26 (61.8% Fib), 79
Resistance levels - 80.68 (5-DMA), 81.11 (21-EMA), 81.82 (50-DMA)
