FxWirePro: AUD/JPY finds strong resistance at 85.20, bearish invalidation only on close above

• AUD/JPY extends gains in the Asian session today after Doji formation on Thursday's candle.
   
• The pair is up 0.26% on the day, made a day's high of 85.19 and low of 84.91.
   
• Better-than-expected Australia October housing finance approvals and upbeat China trade balance supports the Aussie.
   
• Price action capped below converged 20 and 5-DMA at 85.20, we see further upside only on decisive break above.
   
• The pair has been on a downward spiral since Sept 2017 and we see further weakness on break below 61.8% Fib retrace of 81.48 to 90.305 rally at 84.85.
   
• Aussie is likely to remain under pressure as the series of weak data continue from Australia.
